Assuming the average distance of the earth from the sun to be 149700000 km and the angle subtended by the sun at the eye of a person on the earth to be 32', find the sun's diameter.

The Sun's tide-raising power is only half as great as that of the Moon. The direct pull of the Sun on the earth, however, is about 175 times that of the Moon. Why is it then that the Moon causes larger tides?

How far from earth must a body be along a line towards the sun so that the sun's gravitational pull on it balances that of the earth . Distance between sun and earth's centre is 1.5 xx 10^(10) km . Mass of the sun is 3.24 xx 10^(5) times mass of the earth .

Renewable energy is energy produced from sourece that do not deplete or can be replenished within a human's life time. The most common examples include wind, solar, geothermal, biomass, and hydroelectric power. This is in contrast to non-renewable sources such as fossil fuels. Most renewable energy is derived direcetly or indirectly from the sun. Sunlight can be captured directly using solar technologies. The sun's heat drives winds, whose energy is captured with turbines. Plants also rely on the sun to grow and their stored energy can be utilized for boienergy. Not all renewable energy sources rely on the sun. For example, geothermal energy utilizes the Earth's internal heat, tidal energy relies on the gravitational pull of the moon, and hydroelctric power relies on the flow of water. Name the renewable sources of energy which are not dependent on sun. What are they dependdent upon?
