Which type of power plant uses energy directly from the sun to generate electricity?
a. wind
b. hydroelectric
c. radiant
d. coal

C.Radiant

Explanation:

Radiant energy is the energy which can be harnessed from the electromagnetic radiations. These radiations are the source of thermal energy. The sunlight is the source of radiant energy as it is a source of radiations such as visible, invisible, ultraviolet and infrared. The thermal energy from the radiations of sun can be used to generate electricity through solar power plants, solar devices like streetlights, cookers, solar panel cells and others.

On the basis of the above description, radiant energy power plant uses energy directly from the sun to generate electricity.

the answer is false. this is because for ice to melt, it requires latent heat of melting. latent heat means heat energy required to change phase without any increase in temperatures. therefore, the ice will take energy from the environment to melt hence atmospheric temperatures will reduce.
