Verified step by step guidance1
Begin by understanding the concept of energy sources on Earth. Energy can come from various sources, such as the Sun, wind, geothermal, and nuclear power.
Recognize that the Sun is the primary source of energy for most processes on Earth. It provides energy directly through sunlight and indirectly through processes like photosynthesis, which supports life.
Consider how wind energy is generated. Wind is caused by the uneven heating of the Earth's surface by the Sun, making the Sun the ultimate source of wind energy.
Examine geothermal energy. While geothermal energy comes from the Earth's internal heat, the Sun plays a role in the Earth's formation and the processes that generate geothermal energy.
Understand nuclear power. Although nuclear energy comes from reactions within atomic nuclei, the formation of these elements in stars, including our Sun, contributes to the availability of nuclear materials on Earth.
