Why is solar energy considered the most convenient renewable energy resource?

Because it is the most abundant energy resource on Earth

Because it does not release greenhouse gases when burned

Due to its ability to generate electricity in all weather conditions

Due to the rise of innovation in solar panels and solar charge controllers (correct)

What is a key characteristic of non-renewable resources like petroleum and coal?

They can naturally replenish themselves over time

They have a smaller carbon footprint compared to renewable resources

They are primarily used for generating wind energy

They cannot be immediately replaced upon depletion (correct)

What contributes to the larger carbon footprint of non-renewable resources like natural gas and coal?

The efficient conversion into electricity without emissions

Their ability to replenish naturally over time

The carbon content of most fossil fuels when burned (correct)

The lack of greenhouse gas emissions during their combustion
