Why do tidal nuclear and geothermal energy do not depend on the sun.?

∙ 6y ago
Tidal energy comes from the energy of Earth's rotation. This is unrelated to the Sun's radiation. Nuclear energy comes from elements that are available on Earth - it doesn't depend on the Sun's radiation either. Geothermal energy comes from these same elements, which gradually decay, keeping Earth's interior hot.

Why do tidal nuclear and geothermal energy resources not depend on the sun?
Tidal energy comes from the energy of Earth's rotation. This is unrelated to the Sun's radiation. Nuclear energy comes from elements that are available on Earth - it doesn't depend on the Sun's radiation either. Geothermal energy comes from these same elements, which gradually decay, keeping Earth's interior hot.
What energy sources is in no way derived from the Sun?
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.
Who invented tidal energy?
Hitler.
Is the sun responsible for most of the forms of energy on earth?
Well... let us discuss dem one by one ok.. 1) Nuclear Energy : I Dont c ny role of sun here, sun itself a sort of nuclear bomb. 2) Hydro-static Energy : No was the sun gonna move the water for us.. , 3) Tidal Energy : Moon play some role here but not fullest 4) Geothermal, Thermal : No role.. 5) Solar Energy : yeah.. here comes sun.... :) ☼ 6) Wind energy : Yeah sun here too, it radiates winds.. dey blow.. nd produce ..energy 7) Biological Energy ( Kind of ATP nd all ) : Yeah.. photo synthesis the mother .. of all.. it needs light.. So Conclusion : Not All, Not Some... kind of 50-50 .. :)
What energy source don't come from the sun?
Hydro power did originate from the sun. The energy required to transport water from the lower level to the higher level thus increasing its potential energy required the sun to heat it. Even ocean tidal and wind power also originated at the sun. Gravitational forces causing tides relies on the sun.

What are two types of energy that do not cause acid rain?
Wind, solar, nuclear, tidal, geothermal...
What are the kinds of energy?
The kinds of energy arekinetic andpotential energy. Also, there arechemical,electrical,geothermal,nuclear,radiant,solar,thermal,tidal, andwind.
Which energy doesn't need the sun's energy?
every energy requires the suns energy the sun is the ultimate source of energy for everything -O-A2. Nuclear energy does not depend on the sun, nor does geothermal energy from the earth's core. Tidal energy is largely driven by the moon but the sun also has some effect.
What are some alternatives of using fossil fuels for energy?
Wind Energy,Hydro Power, Geothermal Energy, Solar Energy.
What energies come from sunlight?
Most of the energy we use - whether industrial or otherwise (for instance, the food we eat) comes from sunlight. The main exceptions are geothermal energy, tidal energy, and nuclear energy.

What are the alternative sources you could use to provide energy?
There are many ways in which energy can be obtained, some of these sources could be: Solar Wind hydroelectric solar agricultural geothermal tidal nuclear :)
What are the non conventional energy?
I would say solar,wind, tidal, wave, biomass,geothermal. Whether nuclear should be included is doubtful, but some will do so.
List 4 alternate sources of energy that can be used that do not pollute?
Solar, bio-fuels, wind, geothermal, hydro, tidal, nuclear (depending on the type of plant)
How is geothermal energy different from tidal energy?
geothermal is the heat from the earth being used to produce electric power VS tidal use the movement of the oceans tides to produce electric power.
What type of alternative energy can you use instead of nuclear?
Alternatives are wind, solar, geothermal, hydro, tidal. But I doubt if any or all of these can replace nuclear, at least in industrial countries like the US and Europe.
