wind does originally come from the sun
the sun heats the earth
the heated earth causes wind

∙ 12y agoSun = solar. if you use wind then you would have to call it wind energy.
Wind energy and solar energy are alternative energy sources they are NOT the same, solar energy comes from the suns heat while wind energy comes from the wind. Solar energy is generally collected with solar panels while wind energy is generated when the wind turns wind mill like structures that in turn, turn turbines that generate electricity.
Hydro power did originate from the sun. The energy required to transport water from the lower level to the higher level thus increasing its potential energy required the sun to heat it. Even ocean tidal and wind power also originated at the sun. Gravitational forces causing tides relies on the sun.
The energy from the Sun is solar energy.

Directly from the sun
No it doesn't because geothermal energy originally comes from the ground!
it comes from the sun
no, the sun creates the most but wind energy creates the second highest amount of energy.
As you will know energy can not be created. Only transferred from one thing from another. Solar energy captures energy from the sun. Wind energy gets it from the kinetic energy making it move. And hydro electric also gets from kinetic energy. But kinetic energy from the movement of the waves.
They get their energy from the wind not the sun.
No, not in itself. Weather is the result of energy. The energy involved comes from the sun. As there are temperature differences, there are differences in pressure, and wind is produced. Heat and wind are energy, and both come from the energy of the sun and the rotation of the earth. Cold is the absence of sun, wind indirectly comes from the sun, and rain is the result of evaporation and condensation which also involve the sun.
Originally from the sun, but then probably from fossil fuels (coal, oil and natural gas) which are burned to generate electricity. If you are lucky the energy might be renewable, from solar, wind or water power (or many others).

It originally came from the sun and was stored in chemical bonds by plants during photosynthesis.
