Is all light energy solar energy?
Question:
Answer:
No. Solar means it comes from Sol, which is the name of the Sun. Solar energy is energy from the sun, not only from it's light, but any of the forms of energy it radiates.
No, not all is solar.
light bulbs may be fluorescent, which is the reaction of chemicals in a tube to electrical stimulation. electrical energy.
Light bulbs may be lit by resistance circuitry, electrical energy
some insects and fish use photofluoresence, chemical light. The light from a fire is as a result of a chemical change.
Now, if the solar power were to stop there would be no light at all in the very short term!!!
No.
Define solar energy:
solar energy - energy from the sun that is converted into thermal or electrical energy; "the amount of energy falling on the earth is given by the solar constant, but very little use has been made of solar energy"
Because of this definition, I would say not all light energy is solar energy.
