False. While sunlight is the primary source of energy for most ecosystems through photosynthesis, some ecosystems, such as deep-sea hydrothermal vent communities, rely on chemical energy from minerals and gases instead of sunlight. These ecosystems demonstrate that energy can also come from non-solar sources. Therefore, not all energy in every ecosystem comes from sunlight.
The energy that reaches the Earth from the sun is known as sunlight.
It will take 8 minutes for the light from the sun to reach Earth. The actual heat of the sun does not reach all the way out to Earth. The warmth on Earth comes from the conversion of light energy to heat energy.
The Sun is the ultimate source of all useable energy on Earth.
Solar
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.
All the energy for living things and all the energy for fossil fuel, hydroelectric and wind energy comes form the energy of sunlight. Without sunlight there would be no life and Earth would be a frozen dead planet.
True. Ultimately, all energy on Earth can be traced back to the sun, which is the primary source of energy for our planet. This energy is harnessed through processes like photosynthesis, sunlight, wind, and even fossil fuels that were originally formed from sunlight.
Indirectly, yes. The Earth's energy primarily comes from the sun through processes like photosynthesis, which converts sunlight into chemical energy stored in plants. This energy is then transferred through the food chain to other organisms and powers various Earth systems.
The energy on Earth comes from various sources, including the Sun, which provides solar energy through sunlight. Geothermal energy from the Earth's core also contributes to the energy available on Earth. Other sources include nuclear energy from radioactive decay and gravitational energy.
Biomass sunlight refers to the energy captured by plants through photosynthesis, where they convert sunlight into chemical energy stored in organic matter. This process is a crucial part of the broader ecosystem, as it forms the foundation of food chains by providing energy for herbivores and, subsequently, carnivores. Sunlight is essential for photosynthesis, making it a key component of the Earth's energy cycle and supporting life on the planet.
Most of Earth's heat comes from the Sun, which radiates energy in the form of sunlight. This energy is absorbed by the Earth's surface, leading to warming of the planet. Additionally, a small portion of the Earth's heat also comes from the radioactive decay of elements in the Earth's core.
The energy which powers a kettle ultimately comes from the Sun. While a kettle is powered by electrical energy if it is an electric kettle or gas if it is whistling kettle, the energy ultimately comes from the Sun and came to Earth as sunlight.
Ecological balance is automatic function of nature. When it is saturated by human due to various reasons, the ill effects of it are experienced in the form of natural disasters and incurable diseases. the earth becomes a violent planet. we have to face the wrath of nature.
All energy used in and by life on earth comes form the Sun - (excepth those ecosystems round black smokers where the enery is chemical energy form earth processes)
that depends on what it is. if its a plant it comes from air water and sunlight. if its an animal it comes from food water and sleep. if you are only looking for one thing that energy mostly comes from it would be water.
The energy used by living beings on Earth ultimately comes from the sun. Through the process of photosynthesis, plants convert sunlight into chemical energy, which is then consumed by animals for their energy needs. This makes the sun the original source of energy for life on Earth.
The sunlight is partially absorbed by materials on Earth; when that happens, the energy in the sunlight is converted into heat energy.
