The Sun is a light and heat producing star, an average star in the galaxy. The Sun produces light, which plants absorb in a process called photosynthesis. The pant grows fruit, which you and other animals eat. This is how we get food from the Sun. Now, water came into existence through outer cold comets and asteroids crashing into the hot surface of Earth. The Sun's gravitational pull and inertia makes these foreign objects clash into each other. That is how we get water, and rely on the Sun for energy. We mainly rely so that we can live, and without it, our food-producers will die out, and water will freeze, causing most of existing life forms to die out.
All living things depend on energy from the sun. Even though animals get their energy from either plants or from animals that eat plants, those plants get their energy from the sun, so it all comes back to the sun.
No, geothermal energy does not depend on the sun. It relies on heat stored beneath the Earth's surface from the decay of radioactive elements and residual heat from the planet's formation. This heat is harnessed to generate electricity or heat buildings.
Energy from the sun makes earth warm enough to support life and growth
Rabbits indirectly depend on the sun for energy by consuming plants that use sunlight to grow. Through photosynthesis, plants convert sunlight into energy which is then consumed by rabbits as food to provide them with energy for their own growth and survival.
Geothermal energy, generated from Earth's internal heat, does not depend on the sun. Nuclear energy, derived from splitting atoms or fusing them together, is another energy resource independent of solar radiation.
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.
Heterotrophs depend on the sun for energy because they eat other hetertophs and autotrophs. As you know autotrophs eat plants sp when a heterotroph eats one, it gets the energy. Or it receives it directly by eating the plants/autotrphs. I hope this answered your question. -Skylar =P OR~ The ultimate source is where the energy came from originally. Heterotrophs get their energy from autotrophs, which get their energy from the sun. So, that means the original (or ultimate) source of energy is the sun.
Animals depend on plants for food and the reason for this is so animals can get the energy they store from the sun into their own bodies. They also depend on plants because plant's are autotrophs ( make their own food) by using and storing the sun's energy, so because us animals are hetrotrophs ( can't make our own food :S) we depend on the energy the plants have stored from the sun light.

The sun, like all stars, gets its energy from nuclear fusion. The Earth is only habitable for life because of the sun's radiant energy which reaches us. So we all depend on nuclear energy.
