The sun consist primarily of a collection of hydrogen (about 75% of the mass of the sun). This energy is fused, or burned, into helium by the pressure of the weight (gravity) of the sun. This conversion of hydrogen into helium will go on for most of the sun's life time. This nuclear reaction can be thought of as the sun's internal energy.

What is the different energy source between the sun and the moon?
The energy of the sun comes from nuclear fusion occurring in the sun's core. The moon does not have an internal energy source. What little energy falls on it comes from the sun.
Where does the sun receive its energy from?
The Sun has an internal supply of hydrogen which it is constanly fusing into helium, thus powering the star.
Is the following true or false The Earth system is powered by energy from the sun and the Earth's exterior?
False : The Earth system is powered by energy from two major sources: the Sun and the planet's internal heat.
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 energy you get from the sun?
Sun energy.

Does earth have radioactive internal energy and external energy?
Earth has internal energy due to radioactivity. I am not sure what you mean by radioactive external energy, or simply by external energy. Earth gets most of its energy from the Sun.
What is the main source of energy that powers the earth?
The Sun and the earth's internal heat
Where does the sun receive its energy from?
The Sun has an internal supply of hydrogen which it is constanly fusing into helium, thus powering the star.
Energy can enter the earth system from internal sources through convection and from external sources through what?
Energy can enter the earth system from internal sources through convection and from external sources through radiation from the Sun (solar energy).
What is the source of the energy that powers the earths system?
The Earth system is powered by energy from two major sources: the Sun and the planet's internal heat.
What is the source of the energy that powers the earth's system?
The Earth system is powered by energy from two major sources: the Sun and the planet's internal heat.
Which of earth's early sources of heat are not major contributors to earth's present-day internal energy?
The sun
Is the following true or false The Earth system is powered by energy from the sun and the Earth's exterior?
False : The Earth system is powered by energy from two major sources: the Sun and the planet's internal heat.
What is internal energy of an object?
the energy which absorved in the object is called internal 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 is the internal energy reserve in animal?
What is the internal energy reserve in plants
