nergy
The Sun is a star 150 mi llion kilometers fro m Earth. Despite this immense
distance, solar energy has a huge effect on our lives. Without the sun, life
isn't possible!
The Sun emits so much energy because it's a giant nuclear reactor. It is so hot
on the inside that the atoms, the building blocks of all matter, fuse together.
This radiate s an enormous amount of ener gy out into space. A small par t of
that radiation hi ts Earth's sur face. We call it sunshine.

Amazing
energy reserves
The solar ener gy striking Ear th’s atmo-
sphere each year i s an unimaginable
1,500,000,000,000,000,000 kilowatt
hours. This co rresponds to about 8 ,000
times the energ y consumption of all of
humanity (as of 2 023).
A large por tion of the solar energ y is
lost in the atmosph ere. The rest of it is
enough, though , to give us sunlight that
we can use to gener ate electricit y.
