Yes.
The Sun is powered by the process of Nuclear Fusion and it does output radioactive energy, mainly in the form of electromagnetic radiation.

Does all your energy come from the sun?
Most of the energy we use can be traced to the Sun in one way or another, but not all of it. Energy from nuclear sources does not come from the Sun. It comes from the heat produced as a result of decay of radioactive isotopes. While the Sun does create radioactive isotopes in its interior, that is not the source of the isotopes available to us on the Earth today. Our radioactive isotopes came from other stars that exploded billions of years ago, before the Earth and the Sun were formed.
Can there be energy without the sun?
Yes. There are energy sources within planets due to residual heat of formation and radioactive decay, but the sun is far, far and away the greatest energy source in this neck of the woods. Any and all other sources of energy are miniscule by comparison to the sun.
What energy sources is in no way derived from the Sun?
Geothermal energy sources depend on primeval heat from the Earth's core.This is mainly derived from radioactive decay in the Earth's core, with a small contribution from gravity pressure.Similarly, Nuclear Reactors do not depend on the Sun for their energy.And one day we hope, the nuclear fusion problem will be cracked.And to a small extent, the electrical energy developed in a battery does not depend on the Sun, but most of the energy needed to make the battery would probably have come from a solar source.and the solar source is like solar pannels so if the solar energy depends on the sun geothermal energy does too.
What energy you get from the sun?
Sun energy.
Energy from the sun?
Energy from the sun is called solar energy.
Does earth have radioactive internal energy and external energy?
Earth has internal energy due to radioactivity. I am not sure what you mean by radioactive external energy, or simply by external energy. Earth gets most of its energy from the Sun.
What 2 types of energy does the sun give to the earth?
Radioactive and solar energy (or light and heat).

What are the sources of heat on earth?
Radiant energy from the sun, kinetic energy and heat from the decay of radioactive material in the Earth's interior.
Is radioactive decay a source of sun's energy?
No. The Sun is powered by nuclear fusion, primarily of hydrogen into helium. Radioactive decay is sort of the reverse process, in which a heavy element will break down into lighter ones.
Where does all energy ultimately come from on earth?
The Sun, unless it is geothermal energy (heat form the Earth's core) which originates from radioactive decay.
Can there be energy without the sun?
Yes. There are energy sources within planets due to residual heat of formation and radioactive decay, but the sun is far, far and away the greatest energy source in this neck of the woods. Any and all other sources of energy are miniscule by comparison to the sun.
Which is not driving by energy from the sun?
Most of the energy used on Earth ultimately comes from the Sun; the two major exceptions are:* Tidal energy - here, the energy comes from Earth's rotation. * Geothermal energy - here, the energy comes mainly from radioactive decay in Earth's interior.
What are the types of energy you use on earth?
Heat and electromagnetic radiation from the Sun, heat from underground, Potential energy from water running down hill (ultimately this has come from the Sun as the atmosphere is powered by the Sun and it is the rain that feeds rivers). Radioactive energy from minerals in the Earth.
What is the meaning of radioactive zone parts of the sun?
Your question is unintelligible. There is no "radioactive zone" defined as part of the Sun.
What are the two main sources of energy in earths spheres?
The two sources of energy are the sun and energy from the Earth's Interior.
Is the sun radioactive?
yes
