Across
- 3. Energy captured directly from sunlight, such as through solar panels or solar thermal systems.
- 7. The rate at which solar energy is received on a given area of Earth's surface, influenced by factors like latitude, season, and time of day.
- 8. Energy generated by harnessing the movement of air, often converted into electricity using wind turbines.
- 10. Energy derived from the Sun, either directly through solar panels or indirectly through processes like wind, hydropower, and biomass.
- 12. A scientific principle stating that energy cannot be created or destroyed, only transformed from one form to another.
Down
- 1. A device with blades turned by wind to generate electricity, commonly used in wind farms.
- 2. Devices that convert sunlight directly into electricity, commonly known as solar cells.
- 4. The process occurring in the Sun’s core where hydrogen atoms combine to form helium, releasing vast amounts of energy.
- 5. Electricity produced by the movement of water, typically driven by the Sun’s role in the water cycle.
- 6. Energy resulting from solar-driven processes, such as wind, hydropower, and biomass production.
- 9. Financial assistance provided by the government to support the adoption of renewable energy technologies like solar and wind power.
- 11. Renewable energy sourced from organic materials like plants and agricultural residues, which store energy from the Sun.
