Let us say that we would like to know if there is enough energy to provide the Earth's current population of nearly seven billion people with a standard of living that will satisfy them; the answer then will be no, there isn't. The Earth will need more energy.

Why does air near the Earth's surface have to be moist in order for a thunderstorm to form?
The energy that drives a thunderstorm comes from the latent heat stored in water vapor. This energy is released when the water vapor condenses. If there is not enough moisture then there is not enough energy.
Convection currents carry thermal energy from the sun to Earth?
No. Convection requires a medium to carry thermal energy from one place to another. There is no or not enough of any material in space to accomplish this. Radiation will carry thermal energy from the sun to the Earth.
How does geothermal energy effect geysers?
the heat from the geothermal energy boils water that is underground. if it has enough pressure the water comes up to the Earth's surface.
How is a geyser an example of geothermal energy?
The heat from the geothermal energy boils water that is underground. if it has enough pressure the water comes up to the Earth's surface.
What are the disadvantages of the sun being a rewewable energy source?
No disadvantages. Enough solar energy hits the earth in a single day to supply enough electricity for the whole world for a year, if we could only harvest it properly.
Source of heat energy that keeps the surface of the Earth warm enough support what?
Source of heat energy that keeps the surface of the Earth warm enough support LIFE
Why does earth get energy from sun and not other stars?
The sun is the only star close enough to provide Earth with any significant amount of energy. The amount of light reaches Earth from other stars is just enough so that we can see them.
Geothermal energy is an alternative energy source However it is not resourceful enough to replace more than a minor amount of the Earth's energy needs Why is this?
Drilling through the Earth to reach areas hot enough to create steam is possible, but very expensive and difficult.
What is the natural process where the sun's energy is trapped by the atmosphere to make the Earth warm enough for life?
The greenhouse effect captures the sun's energy and keeps the earth warm.
Why is the wind an energy source with limited uses?
A disadvantage of wind energy is that only a few places on Earth have enough wind to meet our energy needs.
Why all living things depend on energy from the sun?
Energy from the sun makes earth warm enough to support life and growth
Why can elements produced in the sun but not in the earth atmosphere?
The earth's atmosphere is not hot enough for thermonuclear fusion to take place.
What happens when the velocity of the Earth is doubled?
If the velocity of Earth were to double, it would have 4 times the kinetic energy. Twice the current kinetic energy would already be enough to catapult the Earth away from the Sun - never to return.
Why does air near the Earth's surface have to be moist in order for a thunderstorm to form?
The energy that drives a thunderstorm comes from the latent heat stored in water vapor. This energy is released when the water vapor condenses. If there is not enough moisture then there is not enough energy.
Why is the earth warm enough for life to exist as you know it?
Because it is just far enough form the Sun to receive enough energy form the Sun to have liquid water on it.
How do satellites fall back to Earth?
That will happen if they lose movement energy - usually due to atmospheric drag, if they are not high enough above Earth.
Convection currents carry thermal energy from the sun to Earth?
No. Convection requires a medium to carry thermal energy from one place to another. There is no or not enough of any material in space to accomplish this. Radiation will carry thermal energy from the sun to the Earth.
