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.

What are 5 differences between solar and wind energy?

solar energy is energy from the sun and wind energy is energy from the wind


Why is wind energy called solar energy?

Wind energy is indirectly derived from the sun because the uneven heating of the earth's surface by the sun creates wind patterns. As the sun heats the air at different rates, the air moves, creating wind. Therefore, wind energy is often referred to as a form of solar energy.


Is wind energie the same as solar energy?

No, wind energy comes from the wind and solar energy comes from the sun.


What are two differences between using solar energy and wind energy?

One difference is the source: solar energy comes from the sun, while wind energy comes from the movement of air. Another difference is the way energy is converted: solar energy is converted directly using solar panels, while wind energy is converted through wind turbines.


Where does the energy from solar wind hydroelectric sources originally come from?

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.


Where does the solar energy come from?

The Sun. The Sun.


Where do the particles of energy of the comet come from?

The particles of energy in a comet mainly come from the solar wind interacting with the comet's nucleus and surrounding coma. The solar wind is a stream of charged particles emitted by the Sun that affects the comet's ion tail and can cause energy release through processes like ionization and excitation.


Does kinetic energy of wind come indirectly from sun?

Yes, the kinetic energy of wind is ultimately derived from the sun. Solar energy drives the uneven heating of the Earth's surface, creating temperature and pressure differences that result in air movement (wind). Wind turbines then convert this kinetic energy into electrical energy.


What is energy that come to earth form the sun?

The energy from the Sun is solar energy.


Why is solar and wind energy considered an in exhaustible source of energy?

solar: the sun is always shining. wind: the wind will always blow in someplace as long as earth is turning


What is the source of energy that causes wind to blow?

The energy to create wind comes from solar energy.


What is the difference between solar power and wind power?

solar power gets energy from the sun using solar panelsbut wind power uses a wind turbine which catches the wind and spins to create energy/electricity
