Solution
SOLAR ENERGY
NUCLEAR ENERGY
1.The light and heat coming from the natural sun, which help to provide energy-required processes. 1.An atom’s nucleus, or core, generates an enormous amount of nuclear energy. 2.It is generated directly from the natural source, the Sun. 2.It is created by bombarding Uranium atoms. It is generated by Nuclear Reactors. 3.Cost-effective, reliable, renewable, pollution-free, adaptable, efficient, and economical. 3.Generates a large amount of energy, reliable, low cost of operation, zero carbon emission, and prospective. 4.High initial cost, requires large space, no solar power at night, low energy conversion rate. 4.Environmental impact, water-intensive, risk of nuclear accidents, radioactive waste. 5.Generate electricity and heat for buildings and cooking. 5.It generates electricity which can be used for powerhouses, schools, and hospitals.
