The amount of electricity generated by either wind or solar depends upon the investment in the generating equipment, which is either windmills or solar panels respectively. However, the potential for solar power is larger. Even in outer space, where it would not be possible to generate electricity by wind power (the solar wind is not nearly strong enough) you can generate solar power. Potentially, very large amounts of solar power could be generated in outer space and sent back to Earth in the form of microwave transmissions. But for now, more power is being generated by wind.

How can wind power is used?
Wind power generates electricity, just like coal, water and solar power generate electricity. Electricity is a key utility in modern life, nearly everywhere in the world.
What part of the sun generates the solar wind?
Chromosphere
Which object converts wind power to electricity?
A windmill or a wind turbine. Once there is enough wind the blades turn the generator inside. This generates electricity.
What is the science behind wind energy resource?
maybe that it generates electricity
What is wind energy potential?
Wind Energys potential is that it generates electricity & and using wind to pump up water.
What generates electricity without polluting the environment?
Utilizing wind power....i.e. wind mills to generate electricity. Solar Energy....i.e. solar panels
How Can you Charge Cell Phone Battery without Electricity?
There are cell phone chargers that are available that run on solar and wind power, which generates electricity.

What does wind turbine help?
a wind turbine generates electricity for or use
What part of the sun generates the solar wind?
Chromosphere
What does a wind tebine do?
A wind turbine (please note spelling) generates electricity from wind power.
What energy do wind turbines make?
It generates wind power and turns it to solar energy.JK
Is a water turbine a wind powered thing?
No it is powered by water. The flow of the water generates electricity. A wind turbine uses the wind to generate the electricity
Which object converts wind power to electricity?
A windmill or a wind turbine. Once there is enough wind the blades turn the generator inside. This generates electricity.
What makes a windmill generate electricity?
the wind turns the rotor which turns a motor which generates electricity
How wind and flowing water can be used to produce electricity?
By spinning turbines witch generates electricity
What is the science behind wind energy resource?
maybe that it generates electricity
