If I should have a daughter, instead of 'Mom,' she's gonna call me 'Point B,' because that way she knows that no matter what happens, at least she can always find her way to me. And I'm going to paint solar systems on the backs of her hands so she has to learn the entire universe before she can say, 'Oh, I know that like the back of my hand.

Not Always Hot

Sometimes used metaphorically to describe someone central and important in a group.

Figurative Expression

Implies that something is eco-friendly by using renewable solar energy.

Environmentally Friendly

Describes devices that solely rely on sunlight, not any other form of energy.

Energy Specificity

Usage implies dependency on sunny weather conditions for effectiveness.

Weather Dependent

Associated with medieval architecture, used for historical or descriptive accuracy.

Historical Context

May come up in literature to set a historic or romanticized scene.

 Perhaps one day, we'll see gold rushes to tap the mineral wealth of the other planets of our solar system. And who knows? Maybe some future supernova will occur close enough to shower us with its treasure and hopefully not eradicate all life on Earth in the process.

Where does gold come...

 So is it possible that one day the world could be completely reliant on solar energy? To answer that question, we first need to examine how solar panels convert solar energy to electrical energy. Solar panels are made up of smaller units called solar cells.

How do solar panels...

 these new elements were spread across the universe and combined into new compounds, like the now familiar H2O. These water molecules were present in the dusty cloud that formed our solar system and more collided with our planet after its formation.
