Question

A natural or artificial body of water for collecting and absorbing solar radiation energy and storing it as heat is known as

• A. Solar cell
• B. Solar collector
• C. Solar still
• D. Solar pond

Hint:

A solar pond collects and stores solar energy as heat in a body of water.

Answer 1

The Correct Option is D

Step 1: Solar energy can be collected and stored in different forms.

Step 2: A solar pond is a body of water designed to collect solar radiation and store it as heat.

Step 3: It works by reducing heat loss due to convection, often using salinity gradients.

Step 4: A solar cell converts solar energy into electrical energy, while a solar still is used for water distillation.

Step 5: Therefore, the correct answer is: \[ \boxed{\text{Solar pond}} \]
