Does carbon dioxide relate to solar power in any way?
danielledear asked:
I really need to know if carbon dioxide relates to solar power. I need this for an assignment. And if it does then how? Please don't give me something like "I don't know"!

Carbon dioxide is the "air" that plants use to make oxygen. To that end, carbon dioxide is used with water, other nutrients, and sunlight to make the plants grow, which is a form of solar power since the plant is in fact storing energy which is in part derived from the sun. Carbon dioxide would also tend to retain heat, which if used properly could be used as a medium for storing solar energy.

Many people today are worried about our lifestyle releasing carbon dioxide into the atmosphere and this CO2 then causing global warming.
If this is true (that is a debatable topic) then using solar panels to create power will reduce the amount of CO2 released.
Therefore solar power is related to the amount of CO2
I hope that helps.
