The sun is a star, and it is also a nuclear fusion reactor. It is fusing hydrogen into helium to create energy via what we call the proton-proton nuclear reaction. Our local star has been doing this for billions of years, and will continue to do so for billions more.
We derive electromagnetic energy from the nuclear fusion reactions on the sun. We also apply nuclear energy (fission) on earth to generate lots of thermal energy, which we use in a steam cycle to generate lots of electric power.
The sun produces energy through nuclear fusion, a process where hydrogen atoms combine to form helium, releasing vast amounts of energy. This same process serves as the basis for nuclear energy on Earth, where nuclear power plants use controlled nuclear fission reactions to generate electricity.
The process responsible for the enormous energy in the Sun is nuclear fusion. In the core of the Sun, hydrogen atoms combine to form helium, releasing a tremendous amount of energy in the process. This energy is what powers the Sun and sustains life on Earth.
Nuclear fission is the source of the sun's energy. It is a process in which an atom of hydrogen fuses with another atom of hydrogen, releasing large amounts of energy in the process. It is quite the opposite of nuclear fission, which is the source of atomic energy.
Solar energy and sunlight are the two names given to the sun's energy.

Nuclear energy is related to nonrenewable and/or non-conventional primary energy sources.

No, nuclear fusion in the sun is not wind energy. Wind energy is generated from the kinetic energy of moving air masses, while nuclear fusion in the sun is the process by which the sun produces energy through the fusion of hydrogen atoms into helium.
The sun's energy is generated through nuclear fusion.
The sun generates energy through nuclear fusion in its core, where hydrogen atoms combine to form helium, releasing electromagnetic radiation in the form of light and heat. This energy is then emitted from the sun and travels through space, reaching Earth in the form of sunlight and heat energy.
Solar energy is formed by nuclear fusion in the sun
The Sun is an example of nuclear energy because it produces energy through nuclear fusion reactions in its core. These reactions involve the combining of atoms to release energy in the form of light and heat. This process is similar to how nuclear power plants on Earth generate electricity using nuclear reactions.
