In researching Solar Energy we found it extremely interesting.  We learned how the sun produces energy that is sent to earth by RAYS.  We found out how some rays are called light rays that we can see; and others are like x-rays.  The energy in rays are called Radiant Energy.

It was also interesting how we solar energy can be absorbed  by solar panels to warm our homes, schools, and office buildings.  By placing panels on our roof we can capture the rays and convert to energy to be used instead of electricity.

The water cycle is also powered by Solar Energy.  Water moves from the clouds to earth and then back to the clouds.  The sun heats water on earth.  The water evaporates - it turns to water vapor -and rises back into the air to form clouds.
