Geothermal energy sources depend on primeval heat from the Earth's core.

This is mainly derived from radioactive decay in the Earth's core, with a small contribution from gravity pressure.

Similarly, Nuclear Reactors do not depend on the Sun for their energy.

And one day we hope, the nuclear fusion problem will be cracked.

And to a small extent, the electrical energy developed in a battery does not depend on the Sun, but most of the energy needed to make the battery would probably have come from a solar source.and the solar source is like solar pannels so if the solar energy depends on the sun geothermal energy does too.

Does all your energy come from the sun?

Most of the energy we use can be traced to the Sun in one way or another, but not all of it. Energy from nuclear sources does not come from the Sun. It comes from the heat produced as a result of decay of radioactive isotopes. While the Sun does create radioactive isotopes in its interior, that is not the source of the isotopes available to us on the Earth today. Our radioactive isotopes came from other stars that exploded billions of years ago, before the Earth and the Sun were formed.


What is one way in which the sun and planets are different?

They are different because they have different atmospheres to the Sun. The main difference is that the Sun is a star which radiates energy and the planets are cold bodies which do not produce energy.


What is the relationship between the sun and the energy needed by living things?

Plants capture solar energy via photosynthesis, we eat plants which provide us with our energy. If we eat meat, say a cow then the cow got its energy to grow by eating grass which captured energy by photosynthesis. All food chains lead back to the sun.


Does Nuclear power plants on Earth create energy in the same way as the Sun?

No, nuclear power plants get their energy from fissionof the heavy element uranium, the sun gets its energy from fusion of the light element hydrogen.


How the tomato plant can be traced back to the sun?

The most obvious answer is that Tomato plants have to photosynthesise using in part energy from the sun. If they did not have this energy from the sun and photosynthesis the plant would not be able to grow. Another way a tomato plant can be traced back to the sun is that when the earth was created it was essentially spat out by the sun. In this way all tomato plants are made of matter that was once part of the sun.

Where does all of energy on earth originally come from?

The primary source of energy on Earth is the sun. Solar energy powers various processes on Earth, including photosynthesis in plants, which in turn sustains all forms of life on the planet. Additionally, other sources of energy on Earth, such as geothermal energy and fossil fuels, are derived from the sun's energy in one way or another.


Is sun renewable?

Technically, there is no such thing as "renewable energy" - all energy will be wasted eventually, in a way in which it can't be reused. The Sun, too, will run out of fuel eventually. The term "renewable energy" is used, however, for energy sources that can be used for a long, long time - and that is the case with the Sun.


In what way does renewable energy differ from nonrenewable energy?

Renewable energy sources are derived from natural processes that are continuously replenished, such as sunlight, wind, and water. In contrast, nonrenewable energy sources, like fossil fuels, are finite and will eventually run out. Renewable energy is also more sustainable and environmentally friendly compared to nonrenewable energy sources, which produce greenhouse gas emissions and contribute to climate change.


How is the production of Star fuel similar to the production of solar energy?

Both the production of Star fuel and solar energy involve harnessing power from natural sources. Star fuel, like solar energy, relies on the energy generated by stars, while solar energy captures the sun's energy using solar panels. Both processes involve converting natural energy sources into usable forms of energy for consumption.


When you run out of the solar energy what are you going to use?

When solar energy is not available, alternative sources such as wind, hydroelectric, geothermal, and biomass can be used for energy production. These sources can provide a reliable energy supply to meet the demand when solar energy is not accessible.


What does not use the sun's energy in any way?

Rocks do not use the sun's energy in any way.
