How do wind turbines depend on the sun's energy?
Heating of air by sunlight is the source of wind.
Do wind turbines depend the sun?
Kinda-sorta. Wind turbines rely on the wind, but what powers the wind is the sun.
Where does wind energy originate from?
Ultimately, the energy in wind comes from the radiation we get from the Sun.
How is solar power and wind power different?
solar power uses the sun's light for energy and wind power uses the wind to turn the turbines in windmills to create energy.
Name two energy resources that do not depend on the sun?
it is coal and wind energy

Where does wind energy originate from?
Ultimately, the energy in wind comes from the radiation we get from the Sun.
What is the original energy source used for wind turbines?
Basically - the sun.
What energy is there in wind?
Wind energy is kinetic energy, the energy of the moving air. The original source is the Sun. The sun powers our weather patterns, which is what make the air that spins the turbines move.
What role do batteries have in wind turbines?
The wind turbines need the batteries to store the energy. The batteries allow the short-term energy storage within the wind turbine system. This is for cases when the sun isn't shining or the wind isn't blowing.

How do wind turbines harness the suns energy?
It happens because the Sun heats the ground in the daytime and that heats the air above, which causes winds to flow and drive the blades of the wind turbines.
What are 4 energy chains starting from the sun?
sun to wind turbines to electric cables to electric kettle to the hot water in your cup of tea the sun:thermal energy wind turbines:kinetic energy electric cables:electrical energy electrical kettle:thermal energy
Are sun and wind both sources of energy?
They are both sources of energy. The Sun's energy comes in the form of heat and light via electromagnetic waves at about 1.3 kilowatts per square metre. Wind energy is kinetic energy that is used to drive sails or wind turbines.
