Most of the sources of energy that we use represent stored solar energy. Which of the following is not ultimately derived from the sun's energy ?

Options

A. Geothermal energy
B. Wind energy
C. Nuclear energy
D. Biomass

Answer

C

Explanation

Nuclear energy is released during nuclear fission or fusion. These reactions produce tremendous amount of energy. The energy released during these reactions comes from the mass of elements (mass converts into energy). There is no roll of sunlight on these reactions. Hence, nuclear energy is not ultimately derived from Sun.s energy. Geothermal energy, wind energy and biomass areall ultimately derived from solar energy.
