Nuclear energy is not derived from solar energy. It is produced from nuclear reactions, typically through the fission of uranium or other radioactive materials. In contrast, coal, gasoline, and wind energy all have indirect connections to solar energy—coal and gasoline originate from ancient organic matter, which was ultimately powered by the sun, while wind energy is a result of atmospheric processes influenced by solar heating.
