Most sources of energy we use (such as heat, burning wood, etc.) come indirectly from the Sun. The two major exceptions are:* Radioactive materials, or materials from which we can get energy through nuclear fission (as well as fusion, once we learn to do that).
* Tidal energy - in this case, the energy comes from Earth's rotation.

What is another source of energy besides the sun?
Most of the energy we use here on Earth ultimately comes from the Sun. That includes wind energy, water energy, coal, and many others. There are mainly two energy sources that DON'T ultimate come from the Sun. One is geothermal power; the other is tidal energy.
Are Most energy sources are derived from the Sun's energy?
most engery sources are derivded from the sun,s engery
Which of these sources of energy have not acquired energy from sun?
Wind
Is wind solar energy?
It is not counted as solar energy, but all energy sources other than geothermal can ultimately be traced back to the sun.
Different sources of energy in physics?
sun

What are other renewable sources of energy besides the sun?
yes, hydro (water) and wind energy are 2 examples
Does Mercury have volcanoes or any other energy sources?
the sun
Are Most energy sources are derived from the Sun's energy?
most engery sources are derivded from the sun,s engery
What is an Examples of sources of energy?
Is wind and sun a pair of sources of energy
Sources of energy for life?
it is the sun
What are three other sources of light besides the sun?
-- fireflies -- campfire -- stars -- match -- compact fluorescent light
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.
Does the sun produce more energy then all sources combined every day?
It depends on whether you mean all of the other energy sources on the earth or all of the other energy sources throughout a larger area (i.e., the solar system, galaxy, supercluster, universe). If the former, then yes. According Einstein's E=Mc^2 equation, the sun produces 4 x 10^33 ergs/sec of energy. In one second, the sun has produced vast amounts more of energy than all other energy sources on earth for a day.
What are the sources of energy from the sun?
Solar and light energy
Which of these sources of energy have not acquired energy from sun?
Wind
Is wind solar energy?
It is not counted as solar energy, but all energy sources other than geothermal can ultimately be traced back to the sun.
