The energy of a hurricane comes primarily from the Sun. As solar energy heats the ocean water, the warm water evaporates, creating moisture in the atmosphere. This process releases latent heat, which fuels the storm and drives its development and intensification. While Earth's spin (the Coriolis effect) is important for the hurricane's rotation and structure, the initial energy source is the Sun.

Yes, I'm sure. The primary source of energy for a hurricane is indeed the Sun. The Sun heats the ocean surface, causing evaporation. This process releases latent heat when water vapor condenses into clouds, which contributes to the storm's formation and intensification. Without this heat from the Sun, hurricanes would not have the energy necessary to develop or sustain themselves.
