The greates source of energy is the Sun
Fossils have become our primary energy source due to their abundance, high energy density, and relatively low cost of extraction. Over time, human civilization has developed technologies that rely on burning fossil fuels to generate heat and electricity, making them the most widespread energy source today.
The most widely used source of renewable energy in the world today is hydropower, which generates electricity by harnessing the energy of flowing water. Hydropower accounts for the largest share of renewable energy production globally and is utilized in many countries for electricity generation.
Because it is the cheapest source.
Well it is a good renewable source of energy BUT the strength of the wind varies over time and the source is therefore not constantly reliable.
Oil
The energy source is oil, which is formed from the remains of marine microorganisms that have been compressed over millions of years.
Wind energy in some of the developed countries is being efficiently used as alternate source of energy. Water is the main source of energy being used by all over but due to depletion of this source day by day it was necessitated to fiend alternate source. The countries which have long coast line or are located at such place that they have wind available it is being used. The wind energy is being utilized for water supply, suction & delivery of water, power supply and many other minor uses. Holland, Germany, Norway are some of the countries which are using this source effectively.
I'm not expert, but I might say that other, better, energy sources were not around at the time when they choose there main energy source.
CoalOilNatural gas
Phosphorescent light sources convert electrical energy into light energy through a process called phosphorescence. When the phosphor material in the light source absorbs energy from an external source, such as electricity, it temporarily stores this energy and then releases it as light over an extended period of time. This delayed emission of light is what gives phosphorescent materials their characteristic glow after the initial energy source is removed.
Yes, hurricanes tend to weaken when they pass over cooler ocean water because warm water is the main source of energy for hurricanes. When a hurricane moves over cooler water, it loses its primary energy source, leading to weakening and potentially dissipating.
Coal gets its energy from the sun. Millions of years ago, plants and organic matter trapped solar energy through photosynthesis and converted it into chemical energy. Over time, this organic matter was compressed and heated, forming the coal we use as a fuel source today.
