When it comes to generating heat, the sun is undoubtedly a powerful source. However, unlike other sources of heat such as fire or electricity, the sun's heat cannot be stored or reused once it's gone. This is because the sun's heat is generated by nuclear fusion reactions that occur deep within the sun's core. As a result, the heat generated by the sun is a constant and ongoing process, and once it's gone, it's gone for good. While we can certainly harness the sun's heat through various technologies such as solar panels, we cannot reuse the heat generated by the sun once it has dissipated.

Is heat non-renewable?

No, heat is not non-renewable. Heat energy can be generated using renewable sources such as sunlight, geothermal heat, or biomass. Renewable sources of heat ensure that energy can be continuously produced without depleting finite resources.


What is a renewable source that does not depend on the sun?

Geothermal energy is a renewable source that does not depend on the sun. It involves harnessing heat from the Earth's interior to generate electricity or for heating purposes.


Why dark surfaces are good absorbers of heat and shiny surfaces are poor absorbers of heat?

If you are talking in terms of the suns heat being absorbed by the surfaces then I have the answer. Shiny surfaces naturally deflect the suns rays where as dark surfaces are easy conductors of heat as they naturally catch the suns rays. You will notice with leather or print on a shirt that it gets hot because the rays have nowhere to go. A shiny surface will just deflect it back.


Why is solar energy considered a renewable energy source?

Because it can be collected without running out of... sunlight. Many resources like forests, coal, oil, etc. will (in the long run) be depleted. However, we will continue to receive light from the sun for a long time, which is why it is considered renewable. > Not sure it is renewable, its like a big fire, once its fuel is depleted it collapses into a white dwarf. All non renewable sources can be traced back to the suns energy.


What renewable energy resources doesn't need energy from sun?

Geothermal energy, which comes from the Earth's internal heat, is a renewable energy resource that does not rely on the sun. It involves tapping into hot rocks deep underground to generate electricity or heat buildings. Tidal energy, generated by the gravitational pull of the moon on the Earth's oceans, is another renewable resource that does not directly require solar energy.
