Technically YES... the wind forces the turbine blades to spin a rod inside that moves a magnet in and out of a copper coil that generates the flow of electron. The wind that you feel is movement of gases that make our atmosphere (Nitrogen, Oxygen etc) on a very large scale. Globally, the two major driving factors of large-scale winds (the atmospheric circulation) are (a) the differential heating between the equator and the poles (difference in absorption of solar energy leading to buoyancy forces) and (b) the rotation of the planet. Both of the reasons why we have wind on Earth are technically due to the Sun. Nuclear energy plants utilize energy from material that was created in a supernova before the birth of our solar system.

Why does a wind turbine depend on the sun?
That's because wind itself depends on the energy from the Sun. Without sunlight, there would be no wind.
Where does wind energy source come from?
Directly from the sun
Where does the energy stored in wind and waves come from?
it comes from the sun
Do wind turbines depend on energy from the sun?
They get their energy from the wind not the sun.
Where does the energy of the wave come form?
The energy of sea waves is got from the wind, and in the further run, the wind is generated from the rotation of the Earth and the Sun light falling on it.

Did wind originally come from the sun energy?
wind does originally come from the sun the sun heats the earth the heated earth causes wind
Where does wind energy source come from?
Directly from the sun
What is the difference between solar power and wind power?
solar power gets energy from the sun using solar panelsbut wind power uses a wind turbine which catches the wind and spins to create energy/electricity
What is wind energy definition?
Wind Energy is energy received from the movement of wind across the earth. This is because of the heating of our oceans, earth, and the atmosphere by the sun. Also when the wind spins the blades on the wind tubine then that creates electricity inside the wind turbine that can be used for many uses.

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.
Does most of the worlds energy come from wind energy?
no, the sun creates the most but wind energy creates the second highest amount of energy.
How much energy does a wind turbine store?
First, the turbine itself does not store the energy. One needs a battery or capacitor for that. The amount of energy a turbine produces is determined by the size of the turbine and the speed of the blades, and the average RPMs in a given day. Short answer: it depends. It is best to couple the turbine as a backup for a solar array for times when the sun is not sufficient to power the cells, on the theory that when the sun is not shining during the day, the wind might be blowing because of a storm. [The British put low power turbines next to railroad tracks to power the crossing signals. The wind of the passing trains powers the them.]
Is weather energy?
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.

They get their energy from the wind not the sun.
