The sun sends out enormous amounts of energy . solar energy is produced through nuclear reactions in the sun’s core . once this energy reaches the solar surface, it takes only 8 minutes , traveling at a speed of 300,000 km/s, to reach earth. what evidence can you provide that energy from the sun actually reaches earth’s surface? write or illustrate your ideas in the space below. (it’s due tomorrow )

a boiling water reactor does not boil the water. a pressurized water reactor boils the water faster. a pressurized water reactor is heated directly by the core. a pressurized water reactor does not use fission.

imma come back to you hold on

a rain shadow is a dry region of land on the side that is protected against the prevailing winds of a mountain range. the prevailing winds are the winds that occur most of the time in a particular place of the earth

prevailing winds carry air toward the mountain range. as the air rises up over a mountain range, the air cools, water vapor condenses, and clouds form. on this side of the mountains, called the windward side, precipitation falls in the form of  rain  or snow. this dry air produces a  rain shadow.
