Answer 2

The Sun and The Moon

The Sun

The sun is our main source of light. It is ninety-three million miles from the sun to earth. It takes eight seconds for sunlight to travel this distance. Sunlight warms us. Sunlight helps plants to grow. Sunlight is a natural source of light which we need to survive.
The Moon

The moon is not a source of light. Sunlight bounces off the moon. It is this reflected light that we see at night. The moon has eight phases, which take about 30 days, or one month, to complete. On earth, we see only a part of the moon at a time. One part of the moon is lit by the sun. The other part is in the shadows. Astronomy is the science that deals with the sun, the moon, and the universe. Each phase of the moon has a specific name. These names are based on the amount of light and shadow. The crescent moon phase shows just slivers of reflected sunlight.

Answer 3

Fire and Candles

Fire
The same as the sun, fire provides both heat and light. Unlike the sun, fire is an artificial source of light. For millions of years, fire has been used to cook our food, to keep us warm, to protect us, and to restore health. Fire is used to stop the spread of disease. Fire has been advantageous for humans.
Candles

Once humans had fire, they were able to make other sources of light. Candles have been used for thousands of years. Beeswax, papyrus, tallow, wax, and soy have been used to make candles. These sources have been rolled, dipped, or poured to surround the central wick. Today, candles are often burned for their pretty scent or to create a relaxing scene.

Answer 4

Oil and Gas Lamps

Oil Lamps

An oil lamp produces a brighter light for long periods of time. The oil lamp replaced candles because they were safer. Sources for oil included nuts like walnuts, plants like olive oil, and animal fats.
Gas Lamps

Gas lamps replaced oil lamps. Gas lamps spread light in larger areas like streets and houses. Many communities had laws that kept the public safe at night because citizens needed to light the path in front of their home. A better light source was needed. Scientists invested time and discipline to conduct experiments. In 1792, they discovered coal could be changed into a gas. Therefore, coal became the source needed to make gas lamps.

Answer 5

Light Bulbs and Solar Panels

Electric Light

Electric light comes from an electric current. It is a source of artificial light. Electric light is used for both interior and exterior lighting. It is also suitable for all times of the day. The lamp portion of electrical light is what we refer to as the light bulb. The bulb includes a thin piece of metal, called a filament, which is heated by an electric current. The first incandescent light bulb was made in 1802.

Solar Power

Progress in technology and scientific understanding has made a difference. We can now save light from the sun and convert it into electricity. A panel of lenses or mirrors collect the sun’s rays. After a series of changes, the collected sunlight becomes an electric current. Now we can harness the renewable energy from the sun. The progression from sunlight to solar panels has been fascinating.
