This Is the last one I'm stuck on, I promise, I'm caught between c and d, I think... C right? Because Even If solar power Isn't available at night, Or when It's cloudy, there are ways of storing the energy you get, Right?
Which of the following is a problem with using solar power as a main source of energy?
A) People do not yet have the technology to use solar power
B) The sun is not close enough to provide solar energy
C) Power from solar energy contains a large amount of harmful UV rays***
D) Solar power is not available at night or when it is cloudy
D is right.

Thx Ms. Sue, your right!!!
You're welcome.
To determine the correct answer to this question, let's examine each option and explain how to arrive at the correct answer.
A) People do not yet have the technology to use solar power: This option implies that solar power is not widely accessible due to a lack of technology. However, this statement is not true, as solar power technology is already widely available and has been adopted in many parts of the world. Therefore, this is not the correct answer.
B) The sun is not close enough to provide solar energy: This option suggests that solar energy is limited because the sun is not close enough. However, the distance between the Earth and the sun does not affect the availability of solar energy. The sun is more than close enough to provide solar energy to the Earth. Hence, this option is not correct.
C) Power from solar energy contains a large amount of harmful UV rays: This option states that solar power contains a large amount of harmful UV rays. While it is true that UV rays are present in sunlight, solar panels are designed to capture and convert sunlight into electricity while minimizing the harmful effects of UV rays. Moreover, UV rays are not the main problem associated with using solar power as a primary energy source. Therefore, this option is not the correct answer.
D) Solar power is not available at night or when it is cloudy: This option correctly identifies a problem with using solar power as a main source of energy. Solar power relies on sunlight to generate electricity, which means it is not available at night or when the weather is cloudy. In these situations, the production of solar energy drops significantly, making it less reliable as a primary energy source. Therefore, this is the correct answer.
In conclusion, the correct answer is:
D) Solar power is not available at night or when it is cloudy.
