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

∙ 10y 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 do 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.
Does geothermal energy depend on the sun?
Geothermal energy does not depend on the sun. Geothermal energy is energy that comes from about 55 feet below Earth's surface.
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.
How is the sun linked to nuclear energy?
The sun, like all stars, gets its energy from nuclear fusion. The Earth is only habitable for life because of the sun's radiant energy which reaches us. So we all depend on nuclear energy.
Does geothermal energy come from the sun?
No. It comes from the Earth's internal heat sources. The "geo" part of geothermal means Earth.
What are the nonrenewable resources that do not derive their energy from the sun?
Nuclear Energy Geothermal Energy
What energy resources can be found in deserts?
Solar energy, geothermal energy, wind, petroleum, coal, uranium (nuclear fuel).
What energy resources is most likely to be abundant in California due to its position on a plate boundary wind nuclear solar or geothermal.?
geothermal

Does geothermal energy depend on the sun?
Geothermal energy does not depend on the sun. Geothermal energy is energy that comes from about 55 feet below Earth's surface.
What is the hypothesis of energy resources?
Energy resources include fossil fuel (as coal, natural gas, and oil), renewable energy resources (as solar energy, wind energy, biomass, geothermal energy, ...), and nuclear energy (based on fission and/or fusion).
Can you give me some examples of energy resources?
Coal, Petroleum, Sun, Wind, Nuclear power, Geothermal power, Natural Gas, and Biomass are all energy resources.
How does nuclear energy use differ from geothermal and solar energy use?
C. Geothermal and solar energy are both renewable, while nuclear energy is noy...
Is geothermal energy and nuclear energy different?
Yes.
Does geothermal energy depend on the weather?
No
What energy is better nuclear or geothermal?
geothermal is better because it is eco-friendly
What are the renewable energy resources in the Philippines?
The major renewable energy resources in the Philippines are: * biomass * geothermal * hydro * solar * wind
