Mercury has three speeds.

  • Sidereal - rotation = 0.003026 km/s or 0.0108936 kph (0.006769mph)
  • Orbital - revolution = 47.87 km/s or 172,332 kph (107,082 mph)
  • Galactic - Cosmic = 230 km/s or 828,000 kph (514,496 mph)

It takes Mercury 88 years to make one revolution around the sun. Which if you didn't know is very fast!

The element mercury has not yet been detected in the solar wind, but it stands to reason that it will propagate at the speed of the bulk solar wind - between 300-800 km/s.

A remote community desperately needs more electrical energy. It is located in an area with the following characteristics Average wind speed of 15 and ndash 20 kmhr Some medium-sized rivers with slow-m?

It's wind. Everybody is saying solar but i put wind and it was right. Solar wasnt even an option


What are two differences between using solar energy and wind energy?

1. solar energy you get from the sun while wind energy you get from the wind 2. solar energy you have to have solar things (ex solar ovens) wind energy you need a windmill for.


Why is wind energy called solar energy?

Wind energy is not called solar energy. Solar energy is the energy from the sun, while wind energy is just wind energy.


Is solar power or wind power better?

That would depend on where you live. Wind power will create more energy if you live in an area where the wind blows consistantly.Most wind turbines function poorly, or not at all, below a certain "threshhold" wind speed. Determining what the average wind speed is in your area throughout the year will give you what that "cutoff" speed should be for turbines in your area.Most solar photovoltaics (PVs) require direct sunlight to produce any appreciable power, although indirect light PV systems are improving a lot (these are the PV cells in solar calculators, for instance). How many days of the year that see little or no cloud cover determines how useful solar would be in your area.Note, however, that most places tend to be best suited to a combination of both systems. As seasonal conditions for one system become poor, the conditions for the other type tend to improve.Answer:It is my belief that Solar Power is better than Wind Power. Why? Simple. You can add solar panels to existing structures and they don't take up additional space. Plus, the technology to make solar panels keeps improving, bringing down the cost of installation. While not all areas are good for solar energy, there are still many advantages to solar energy and I believe it has a brighter future than Wind Power.


What is the source of energy that causes wind to blow?

The energy to create wind comes from solar energy.
