Solor Energy


Solor Energy

Solor Energy is the light and radiant heat from the sun that influences Earth's climate and weather and sustains life. The earth receive 147 petawatts of solor radiation at the upper atmosphere. About 30% is transfered back to space while the rest is absorbed by clouds, oceans, and landmasses. The greenhouses convert solor light to heat letting us grow grow crops of any kind. Greenhouses were used during Roman times to produce cucumbers year round for the Roman Emperor Tiberous. They were built in the 16th century to keep exotic plants brought back from exploring different countries.
