Technically it is not unlimited because the Sun is powered by fusion. Hydrogen nuclei are compressed into helium nuclei with the loss of a small amount of mass that is converted into an equivalent amount of energy. When all of the Sun's hydrogen has been fused into helium, the Sun will no longer be able to power itself as it does now. This will occur in about 5 billion years.

Solar power facts: The total solar energy absorbed by Earth's atmosphere, oceans and land masses is approximately 3,850,000 exajoules (EJ) per year. In 2002, this was more energy in one hour than the world used in one year.

The amount of solar energy reaching the surface of the planet is so vast that in one year it is about twice as much as will ever be obtained from all of the Earth's non-renewable resources of coal, oil, natural gas, and mined uranium combined.

I don't believe they are limited. One form of renewable energy is energy from the sun or Solar Energy. We get unlimited sunlight from the sun. As long as the technology is available, renewable energy will be unlimited.


What are some examples of unlimited resources?

Examples of unlimited resources include sunlight, wind energy, and tidal energy. These resources are constantly replenished and will not run out, making them sustainable sources of energy. Additionally, knowledge and creativity are considered unlimited resources as they can grow and expand without constraints.
