Question

Which form of energy is NOT derived from solar energy? A coal B gas C nuclear D wind

Answer 1

C nuclear energy is not derived from solar energy. Nuclear energy comes from the fission of atomic nuclei, typically uranium or plutonium, and does not rely on solar radiation in its generation process. In contrast, coal, gas, and wind energy can be linked to solar energy in various ways: coal and gas originate from ancient organic materials that were once part of ecosystems fueled by sunlight, while wind energy is a result of the uneven heating of the Earth's surface by the sun, leading to air movement.
