The sun is one, but gives light to the whole world at different times.
So are the moon and the stars.

The Sun’s energy can be used for everything from heating your home to drying to drying your clothes.
1. The sun has gone to a lot of trouble to send us its energy, so appreciate it. The heat and light on your face was on the surface of the sun eight minutes and nineteen seconds ago. So at a minimum, use it to dry your clothes. The average electric dryer is a massive energy hog, accounting for two percent of total energy consumption in the United States. Although new energy consumption guidelines have been introduced in Canada and the United States, drying your clothes in the sun is still the most energy-efficient method. Since the sun is a giant nuclear reactor, you can brag to your friends that you have nuclear-powered clothes dryer.
2. To grow your food.
Take away the sun, and what can you grow?With just soil and sunlight you can grow tomatoes, peppers, apples, raspberries, salad greens, and more. Building a solar greenhouse allows you to rested your growing season into winter while protecting your Crops in the summer and increasing your crop yields by protecting your plants from soil and water-borne disease. The many different types of greenhouses mean that they’re useable in almost any climate, from locations with minimal sunlight like the Yukon to places with hot climates like India.
3. To heat your water.
Over 90 per cent of Israeli households have installed solar water heaters, and more than 600,000 m2 of solar water collectors have been installed in Canada. You can use evacuated tubes or a flat plate to gather the Sun’s heat. For an investment under $10,000, these mechanisms can provide 80 to 50 percent of your hot water needs. There are grants available to help in many provinces.
