  18. Re:Wrong by 5 orders of magnitude on Flaws In Popular Solar Power Management Platform Could Crash the Grid · · Score: 1

    Sorry..... but A WATT is a measure of the RATE of ENERGY flow and in Physics we like to call it the unit for POWER. In whichever system; electrical or mechanical, it is JOULES PER SECOND.

    A WATT HOUR is a measure of the amount of ENERGY used or produced. As it is calculated by multiplying WATTS by TIME you end up with just ENERGY left.

    Eg: 6 Watts for 120 secs gives 6 Joules per second x 120 seconds = 720 Joules... and the numbers will be bigger for KILOWATTS and HOURS...

  23. Re:Rotation velocity on Astronomers Determine the Length of Day of an Exoplanet · · Score: 1

    Planet 'A' rotates once and hour. Planet 'B' likewise. But 'A' is the size of Pluto and 'B' is 10 times the size of Jupiter. One really needs to consider two numbers when comparing rotations of planets - either angular velocity or surface linear velocity at the equator AND the size of said planet.
