When snow and rain fall back to earth, they have kinetic energy.
Anything located above ground level has a positive gravitational potential energy. While falling, this is converted into kinetic energy.
Sun's electromagnetic radiation.The Sun's energy heats up the water on the Earth's surface and evaporates the water into the atmosphere. The water in the atmosphere then condenses into rain and falls back to the Earth.
Condensed water vapor from the sky typically falls back to Earth as rain.
100% of rain falls to Earth. That is the definition of rain. Precipitation.
That means that - with a few exceptions - almost all energy around us can ultimately be traced back to the Sun. it provides light which provides energy to grow.
The sun Solar energy is the primary source of energy on earth. Solar energy is the basis of the vast majority of life on earth via the production of carbohydrates by plants which is consumed directly or indirect by other forms of life. the other of energy for life being from deep ocean vents utilized by chemotrophic bacteria.
gravity
Yes, I believe so. As it gains upward momentum it is using thermal energy, and when it stops, and falls with gravity back to earth it is using kinetic energy. I think that's right.
When an elctron is excited (has energy) it is extremely unstable, so it falls back to its previous energy level, and when it does this it releases energy, and this energy is viewed as wavelengths of light. So the color depends on the amount of energy the atom releases when it falls back to its lower energy level.

all nonrenewable fuels can be traced back to the sun as a primary energy source
