The main source of energy in the solar system continues to be the Sun. It drives, for example, the hydrological cycles on Earth which we harness as hydroelectric power; its energy was captured in chemical bonds by green plants long ago we now burn as fossil fuel such as coal and oil; it creates significant quantities of wind which drives turbines; it directly drives solar powered systems, etc - about the only form of energy it does not directly drive is nuclear powered plants. (The Sun does, of course, also heat and light other planets than Earth.)

∙ 10y agonuclear fusion occurring in the core of our sun is the primary source of it's energy in which hydrogen converted into helium in proton-proton chain reaction giving the main products - positron, neutrino, gamma ray photon and isotopes of hydrogen and helium.

What are the nonrenewable fuels start with the sun as there primary source of energy?
all nonrenewable fuels can be traced back to the sun as a primary energy source
What is life's primary source of energy?
The Sun.
The primary source of energy for living organisms?
the ultimate source of energy for all living organisms is the sun
Why is wind power a renewable energy source?
Wind power is described as a renewable energy source because winds are produced by the suns thermal energy and this is never going to fail or need other sources of energy.
Are the primary source of energy for human body?
Carbohydrates
Primary source of the suns energy is?
The primary source of the suns energy is nuclear fusion of hydrogen. Nuclear fusion occurs in the core of the Earth.
What is the primary source of the suns energy?
Nuclear fusion. Mainly, hydrogen-1 is converted to helium-4.
Is geothermal energy a primary or secondary energy source?
primary
Is are the body primary and immediate source of energy?
Carbohydrates are the body's primary and immediate source of energy.
Are the body's primary and immediate source of energy?
Carbohydrates are the body's primary and immediate source of energy.
What is the source of the suns energy?
Nuclear fusion of hydrogen into helium.
Which element is the main source of the suns energy?
Hydrogen and Helium
Is electricity a clean source of energy?
The term clean source of energy refers to only primary energy sources as wind or solar energy. Electricity, by definition, is not a primary energy source. It is a secondary energy source that is could be produced by a clean energy source as wind or any renewable primary energy source or produced by fossil energy source as oil, natural gas, or coal.
What source of energy do organisms use if they don't use the suns energty?
Chemical energy
What is the primary source of all energy stored on the earth?
The Sun is the primary source of all energy on Earth.
What is the nuclear source of the suns energy?
It is fusion of hydrogen to form helium
Are the main source of energy?
Carbohydrates are the primary energy source for herbivores (cows, horses, etc.). Proteins are the primary energy source for carnivores (dogs, cats, etc.).
