28.2% (sunlight energy collected by chlorophyll) → 68% is lost in conversion of ATP and NADPH to d-glucose, leaving; 9% (collected as sugar) → 35–40% of sugar is recycled/consumed by the leaf in dark and photo-respiration, leaving; 5.4% net leaf efficiency. Many plants lose much of the remaining energy on growing roots.
Additionally, in 2010, researchers from Virginia Tech's College of Natural Resources and Environment received a $3.4 million grant from the United States Department of the Interior to study the effects of the Deepwater Horizon oil spill in the Gulf of Mexico on piping plovers, shorebirds that have been listed as threatened since 1986.

The standards specifying performance requirements of solar simulators used in photovoltaic testing are IEC 60904-9, [17] ASTM E927-19, [18] and JIS C 8912. [19] These standards specify the following dimensions of control for light from a solar simulator: spectral content (quantified as spectral match) spatial uniformity; temporal stability
The northern lights are caused by interactions between the sun's solar winds and the Earth's protective magnetic field, according to NOAA. Those two phenomenons result in geomagnetic storms and ...
