wind does originally come from the sun
the sun heats the earth
the heated earth causes wind
Wind energy and solar energy are alternative energy sources they are NOT the same, solar energy comes from the suns heat while wind energy comes from the wind. Solar energy is generally collected with solar panels while wind energy is generated when the wind turns wind mill like structures that in turn, turn turbines that generate electricity.
The sun heats the ground (or the sea) that warms the air above it. The air rises (and the pressure falls) and air from higher pressure areas move in. that gives wind mills something to get blown by
Solar energy, wind energy, and hydropower all rely on the sun. Solar energy directly converts sunlight into electricity using photovoltaic cells, wind energy is generated by the sun's uneven heating of the Earth's surface, and hydropower is driven by the sun's role in the water cycle.
The energy from the Sun is solar energy.
Tidal energy, geothermal energy, and nuclear energy are examples of energy sources that do not directly come from the sun. Tidal energy is generated by the gravitational forces of the moon and sun, geothermal energy comes from heat within the Earth's crust, and nuclear energy is produced by splitting atoms in a controlled reaction.
the sun.
As you will know energy can not be created. Only transferred from one thing from another. Solar energy captures energy from the sun. Wind energy gets it from the kinetic energy making it move. And hydro electric also gets from kinetic energy. But kinetic energy from the movement of the waves.
No it doesn't because geothermal energy originally comes from the ground!
no, the sun creates the most but wind energy creates the second highest amount of energy.
Originally from the sun, but then probably from fossil fuels (coal, oil and natural gas) which are burned to generate electricity. If you are lucky the energy might be renewable, from solar, wind or water power (or many others).

The energy in waves originates from the sun through a process called solar radiation. The sun heats up the Earth's atmosphere and oceans, causing temperature differences that drive wind formation. These winds generate waves as they move across the surface of the water, carrying the sun's energy with them.
No, not in itself. Weather is the result of energy. The energy involved comes from the sun. As there are temperature differences, there are differences in pressure, and wind is produced. Heat and wind are energy, and both come from the energy of the sun and the rotation of the earth. Cold is the absence of sun, wind indirectly comes from the sun, and rain is the result of evaporation and condensation which also involve the sun.
It originally came from the sun and was stored in chemical bonds by plants during photosynthesis.

The sun. Oil is the product of decayed matter. The matter was originally plant and animal life which was supported by the sun's radiation.
Animals get their energy from other animals that have eaten plants or from plants themselves. Plants get their energy to produce sugars from the sun.
