- Fossil fuel energy: originated in plant and animal life which depended on the sun as a source of energy.
- Wind energy: comes from the sun heating the air both directly and indirectly by heating the land and water surfaces of the earth which then transfer energy to the air.
- Wave energy: comes from the wind acting on the surface of the ocean and the wind got its energy from the sun.
- Biomass energy: comes from plants which get their energy from the sun via photosynthesis.
- Nuclear energy: doesn't come indirectly from the sun, but it does come from dying stars since the heavy element uranium was produced in novas and supernovas.
- Geothermal energy: comes partially from radioactive decay of the heavy elements uranium and thorium which originated in novas and supernovas, but the rest comes from gravity during the original formation of the earth.

∙ 11y agothe circle of life consist of herbavors, omnivors, and carnivors. plants gather energy from the sun, herbavors and omnivors eat the plants to get its energy, then omnivors or carnivors eat the herbivors to get its energy

∙ 10y agoThe Sun can act as both direct and an indirect source of energy. Solary panels which consume the energy of sun and convert it into electricity are direct source of energy, whereas energy through biodegradables who consume photosynthesis can be regarded as indirect source of energy.

What are the other sources or energy besides the sun?
Most sources of energy we use (such as heat, burning wood, etc.) come indirectly from the Sun. The two major exceptions are:* Radioactive materials, or materials from which we can get energy through nuclear fission (as well as fusion, once we learn to do that). * Tidal energy - in this case, the energy comes from Earth's rotation.
Where does the energy needed for evaporation come from in nature?
Energy required for evaporation must be available as heat energy. In nature, such energy comes from the Sun - either directly or indirectly.
Are Most energy sources are derived from the Sun's energy?
most engery sources are derivded from the sun,s engery
Why does solar energy come for sun why not lights?
Most free energy on the earth originally comes from the sun, (solar energy) and has been changed via biological processes thousands of years ago to chemical energy and stored underground (coal, oil etc). Alternatively energy sources can include wind, hydro, tidal and solar, but all of these processes are driven either directly or indirectly by thermal energy and light provided by the sun. The only energy not coming directly or indirectly from the sun is nuclear energy. So the answer to your question is that the light energy we use is from the sun, its just alot more efficient to take it directly from the sun instead of changing it back and forth repeatedly as even our best technologies lose alot of energy during transfers.
How do consumers get their energy directly and indirectly from the sun?
Because they like sun food!(:
Where does most of earth's energy come from?
Directly or indirectly from the sun
Where does energy earths most come from?
Directly or indirectly from the sun
Is energy power from the sun?
Not quite. First, there are many different types of energy. Most of the energy sources we have on Earth come directly or indirectly from the Sun; a few don't. Second, energy is not the same as power. Power refers to energy transfer per unit time.

And are energy sources that come from the sun.?
yes there are there solar energy is 1!!!
Where does your main sources of heat energy come from?
The Sun
Does a lion obtain energy directly from the sun or indirectly?
All animals, including lions, obtain their energy from the sun indirectly.
Does zebras obtain energy from the sun directly or indirectly?
Indirectly because if the zebra couldn't get energy from the sun directly and it was a heterotroph
Does a zebra obtain energy from the sun directly or indirectly?

Do all organisms get there energy from the sun?
not really all. but they indirectly get their energy from the sun
What gets it's energy indirectly from the sun?
All animal life on the earth get their energy indirectly from the sun as they consume plants that get their energy directly from the sun or other animals that have consumed plants.
What energy source don't come from the sun?
Hydro power did originate from the sun. The energy required to transport water from the lower level to the higher level thus increasing its potential energy required the sun to heat it. Even ocean tidal and wind power also originated at the sun. Gravitational forces causing tides relies on the sun.
