the first question for solar power car is could normal cars run on sunlight? I think it is a yes because you could put solar panels on you car and connect them to the battery. the next question is How practical is the idea of cars operating on sunlight? it is a great idea because people would not have to get gas to fill up the car.

I learned that there is a car that runs on sunlight or solar power. I think that if normal cars ran on solar power It would be better than fuel because there would be less pollution. It would be a great efficient thing to do to you car. Something you would need to consider is what if you needed to get to work and It was cloudy and the battery was dead. Another problem would be If it was nighttime or what if the solar panels got damaged? How could this be practical for cars running on solar power? I think that It is a good Idea with some ups and downs but I think that cars that run on solar power would save people lots of money and make pollution levels go down.

After watching the video Solar-Powered Car we were asked can normal cars run on sunlight? Why or why not? And I think that normal cars can run on sunlight. There would be less pollution.But what would happen to the cars at night or when there is no sun? After some extra research I found out that the cold will typically improve solar panel output. The white snow can also reflect light and help improve PV performance. Winter will only hurt solar production if the panels are covered with snow. So your Solar Powered Car would be fine in the winter if it wasn't covered in snow. The other question we were asked was how practical is the idea of cars operating on sunlight? I think yes it would people wouldn't have to spend all there money on gas and we would stop pollution! :D I think that Solar-Powered Cars can be used around the world and even if they have their problems they would still be very useful around the world

Now that I watched the video Solar-Powered Car, the question needed to be answered is:Can normal cars run on sunlight? Why or why not? So I think normal cars can run on sunlight if you added the solar panels to your car and connected them to the battery. The only problem is how we get this on to every car, but that leads to our next question: Is this idea of cars operating by the sun practical? Personally I see tons of problems with the idea. Don't get me wrong, I love the idea of less pollution, less money on gas, and just the idea of using sunlight as gas, but what about night time in fall, summer, and spring? Also, (like I asked before) how are we going to get this on every car? Lastly, what is going to happen to gas stations? Are they going to just be shut down? At the end of the day it doesn't seem like a car, it's a fantasy that we all wish was reality. Thank you for reading this! I hope it changed your mind but if not it's okay! Miss you guys so much! Bye<3

The video we watched was about a solar powered car. I think we can solar power cars because it is really good for the environment.

In this video I saw a very futuristic car. The car gets powered by the sun and it does not pollute the sky. It is also good for nature. I like this car because it does not pollute. If it gets power by the sun then you don't have to buy any gas, so it is cheaper.

Normal cars can't run on sunlight. They can't run on sunlight because they are not designed to run on solar power. The car is practical in some ways but in others it is not practical. Its practical in that it doesn't run on gas and doesn't pollute the sky. Although when its night time the car wouldn't be charging it would be staying in your garage all night.

Normal cars can't run on sunlight because there no solar panels which are silicon sandwiches that absorb the sun to make the cars move.

Can normal cars run on sunlight, no they can't and the reason is they don't have any solar panels to absorb the sunlight so they can't move. Normal cars run on gas and electricity. Like if the stellar got in a car jam it absorbs the sun and gives it more energy but a normal car drains the gas because the car is on and running.

Normal cars can't run on sunlight but Stellar the solar car can. Normal have no solar panels so they can't convert light energy into electrical energy. Stellar can convert light energy into electrical energy witch powers the car. Next the idea of solar cars is very practical because gas in normal cars pollutes the air and if they're sun powered the air wont be polluted.

I don't think normal cars could run on sun power because they don't have solar panels on the top of them and the normal cars are made out of metal so they would get really hot, and maybe burn your hand while you're opening the car.

I love all your responses and the way you are thinking!! Keep up the good work!!

Normal cars can not run on sunlight because they do not have solar panels. It would be good for the environment for solar cars because It would better for it to be solar power because other cars give of exhaust and exhaust is bad for the environment.

Question one:
No normal cars cannot run on sunlight because they don't have solar panels that convert sunlight into electricity and normal cars run on gas.
Question two:
It is a good idea for all cars to operate because of sunlight because cars give off exhaust that pollutes the earth and because making gas uses a lot of resources.

Normal cars can't run on sunlight. The car in the video can because it had solar panels. If cars had solar panels then they would be able to run on sunlight. Because they don't have solar panels the can't run on sunlight. It would help the environment if all cars had solar panels because then it would not waste solar energy.

Solar cars can't run on the sunlight.These cars have solar panels on the top witch observe light.The cars that we have don't have solar panels there for they cannot run on sunlight.The car we saw in the video is saving our solar energy.But the cars we have aren't good for the environment.

I don't think regular cars can run on sunlight because nothing is giving energy to the cars engein and no solar panals are on the car .

Today I watched a video about how a solar powered car is powered. I think that a regular car couldn't run on sunlight because they don't have solar panels. I also thought this was practical because it is very sunny in Australia and you can find solar panels almost anywhere in Australia.

I think that cars could be solar cars if they just add a solar pannel on top and all of that extera stuff to keep it running. I think it is a very good idea to have cars run on sunlight so all that gas from cars doesn't polute citys and space. Normal cars can't run on sunlight right now but in the future we might stop using the cars we have now and replace them with cars that are built to run on sunlight.

They added solar panels to my house so why can't they do it to my car so i think normal car can run on sunlight if you added solar panels and the extra stuff. This idea is very practical because you could just pay for the installment and be done and not have to pay for gas, also sunlight is free.

i think it can not run on sunlight because there are no pannel to power the car. i think that the car works with conetction and wires that why i think that cars cannot run on sunlight

No, normal cars would not be able to run on sunlight, because they don't have solar panels on the car to fuel it.
But maybe someday and I do hope so because it would be a lot better for the planet.

I think that it is ingenues that they use the suns energy because if we keep using fuels some day we will run out
