Geothermal energy sources depend on primeval heat from the Earth's core.
This is mainly derived from radioactive decay in the Earth's core, with a small contribution from gravity pressure.
Similarly, Nuclear Reactors do not depend on the Sun for their energy.
And one day we hope, the nuclear fusion problem will be cracked.
And to a small extent, the electrical energy developed in a battery does not depend on the Sun, but most of the energy needed to make the battery would probably have come from a solar source.and the solar source is like solar pannels so if the solar energy depends on the sun geothermal energy does too.

∙ 10y agoWell, any kind of fossil fuel is of course derived from the sun. Also, wind power can be linked to the weather effects that the heat the sun produces in the atmosphere causes. Hydroelectric power is also derived from the sun because rivers and streams are direct results of precipitation which can be sourced back to the sun. Lastly, geothermal energy is also derived from the sun because it is the heat that resides a few hundred feet under the ground, which is also from the sun. The only energy source that is not directly derived from OUR SUN is nuclear energy. The elements that are used in nuclear reactors were created during the super nova of stars though, just not our star.

Does all your energy come from the sun?
Most of the energy we use can be traced to the Sun in one way or another, but not all of it. Energy from nuclear sources does not come from the Sun. It comes from the heat produced as a result of decay of radioactive isotopes. While the Sun does create radioactive isotopes in its interior, that is not the source of the isotopes available to us on the Earth today. Our radioactive isotopes came from other stars that exploded billions of years ago, before the Earth and the Sun were formed.
What is one way in which the sun and planets are different?
They are different because they have different atmospheres to the Sun. The main difference is that the Sun is a star which radiates energy and the planets are cold bodies which do not produce energy.
Does Nuclear power plants on Earth create energy in the same way as the Sun?
No, nuclear power plants get their energy from fissionof the heavy element uranium, the sun gets its energy from fusion of the light element hydrogen.
How the tomato plant can be traced back to the sun?
The most obvious answer is that Tomato plants have to photosynthesise using in part energy from the sun. If they did not have this energy from the sun and photosynthesis the plant would not be able to grow. Another way a tomato plant can be traced back to the sun is that when the earth was created it was essentially spat out by the sun. In this way all tomato plants are made of matter that was once part of the sun.
What is the relationship between the sun and the energy needed by living things?
Plants capture solar energy via photosynthesis, we eat plants which provide us with our energy. If we eat meat, say a cow then the cow got its energy to grow by eating grass which captured energy by photosynthesis. All food chains lead back to the sun.
Which of the energy sources are in some way derived from the Sun?
Geothermal, Wave, And Biomass.(: (Not Nuclear)
Which of the following energy sources are in some way derived from the Sun?
Geothermal, Wave, And Biomass.(: (Not Nuclear)
Is sun renewable?
Technically, there is no such thing as "renewable energy" - all energy will be wasted eventually, in a way in which it can't be reused. The Sun, too, will run out of fuel eventually. The term "renewable energy" is used, however, for energy sources that can be used for a long, long time - and that is the case with the Sun.
How does non conventional sources of energy differ from conventional energy sources?
Only by being unusual or used in an unusual way.
Where do organisms get their energy from?
The sun, one way or another. The sun, one way or another.
What are positives about using renewable energy sources?
it is renewable and it is available throught the world
Why non conventional energy sources are better than conventional sources of energy?
Conventional energy sources involve burning a fuel to produce heat which will drive a piston like in a car engine or make steam for a turbine like in a power plant. In this way we are converting the chemical energy into kinetic energy. This way they are more popular than non-conventional power sources. Non conventional energy sources usually do not involve burning. Solar energy, wind, water energy, geothermal and nuclear fusion are examples of non conventional energy sources. Some of these sources produce pollution and most of them will run out for as long as humans are around.

What is the main way that your body obtains energy from the sun?
In Cellular Respiration, we get energy from the plants and animals we consume. So we indirectly obtain energy from the sun.
Is it true that the sun provides more energy than all other sources of energy on earth?
Yes, it is true. All energy relies on the sun because of the chemicals that are produces by it. If there was no light we'd all die, so we'd have no need for coal and other minerals. By the way, you should pass fifth grade first, and I'm eleven. ;)
What resource does not use the sun's energy in any way?
geothermal doesnt use the suns energy in any way.
Why do you say that solor energy is one way traffic?
Energy comes from Sun to Earth (and is also radiated into space in general). No significant amount of energy gets back into the Sun. That means that the Sun continuously loses energy.
