Geothermal Energy ... in a usable form, water of hot springs.
It could also include lava from a volcano, etc.
The form of energy that comes from the Earth's interior and heat is primarily thermal energy. This is because the Earth's core is composed of extremely hot temperatures, which generate heat energy. This thermal energy is responsible for processes such as volcanic activity and geothermal energy generation.

Visible light from the Sun
Mechanical energy in the form of E= mgh, water falling, goes in and electrical enegy comes out.
The Sun's energy is given out mainly as "electromagnetic radiation". Light is a form of electromagnetic radiation. Heat is the main form the Sun's energy has when it reaches Earth, particularly the Earth's surface.

The heat comes from Earth's interior, which is always hot.
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.
Heat.
The size of the sun determines its temperature and the amount of energy radiated. Electromagnetic energy from the sun comes to Earth in the form of radiation.
no, solar energy is energy from the sun, which comes to earth in the form of radiation, wheras UV lighting comes from an electrical source.
Visible light from the Sun
Electromagnetic radiation... i.e., light. Electromagnetic Waves A+
All energy used in and by life on earth comes form the Sun - (excepth those ecosystems round black smokers where the enery is chemical energy form earth processes)
Apart form Geothermal energy (heat from the core of the Earth) and Tidal energy (from the Earth's spin) all energy comes from the Sun which grew the organisms that form fossil fuels, drives the wind and rain and feeds plants. Sunlight is free!
solar energy comes from the sun but it is not from another form of energy.
No geothermal energy comes from the earth such as volcanos and other sources of extreme heat. Geo meaning earth and rocks and thermal being heat. Solar energy is its own thing.
