which energy doesn't originaly come from the sun???

Question

wind, solar, fossil fuel or geothermal???

Answer 1

Geothermal comes from the earths core so I'll go with that.

Answer 2

Geothermal energy comes from the the release of gravitational energy when the earth was first formed so doesn't really come from the sun.

Nuclear fission is liberating energy that was locked in the Uranium / Plutonium during a supernova explosion so also has nothing to so with sun.

Nuclear fusion, which is yet to be commercial viable generates energy from the creation of the universe itself.

Tidal is the release of gravitational energy from the moon mostly although the sun does contribute.

Wind and fossil fuels are 100% based of the sun.

Answer 3

Geothermal. It's the only one that can't come from the sun, because it is due to the Earth having a molten nickel-iron core. Those elements were created by novae from other stars, and the stuff the solar system was made from, but not the sun....otherwise the sun wouldn't be there today.

Answer 4

Geothermal. For those who think this is also from the Sun, the Earth was formed seperatly from the Sun not from it.
The Earths core temperature is maintained by radioactive decay.

Answer 5

The sunlight makes potential by potential of combining hydrogen into helium. This technique is termed nuclear fusion. Nuclear fusion creates great quantities of potential. The sunlight fuses 430–six hundred million various hydrogen into each and every 2nd as pronounced above. The sunlight is extremely warm and has various rigidity, plenty that it may initiate nuclear reactions. finally, the sunlight will run out of hydrogen to fuse into helium. which would be in approximately 5 billion years.

Answer 6

Nearly all of the answers are wrong. Virtually all of earth's energy comes from the sun. Some energy arrives from meteoric fragments (about 2000 tonnes/year) but no-one can say for certain whether or not they are solar-derived.

The only energy that we can be certain is non-solar is energy from the stars in the form of light, radio energy and particles

Answer 7

You know that commercial that starts with "People are smart ...". Having read so many answers in YA like some of ones posted here, it makes me laugh every time. It's geothermal, of course. This comes from radioactive decay in the earth's interior. This form of nuclear energy originated in *other* stars that went supernova and contributed heavy elements to the nebula that formed our solar system.

Answer 8

Nuclear came from the stars which broke down and whose remains formed the sun and all the suns planets and asteroids.Geothermal also comes partly from the radioactivity in the earths core,which also comes from the same cosmic dust which formed our solar system.

Answer 9

Geo-thermal energy comes from the heat contained within the Earth itself. It may be associated with volcanic activity within the Earth's crust or due to very high pressure acting on sub-terranean water deposits which, due to the high pressures, becomes superheated and when the pressure is released, large volumes of high energy steam are produced (as in hot springs and geysers).

(I don't believe that the heat of Earth's core is due to Nuclear reactions, with all the volcanos, where does the 'Nuclear Fallout' go ???)

Answer 10

Geothermal energy, it comes from earth's hot core and mantle.
