Rua<p>Almost all of our energy sources here on earth are solar, in the end.</p><p>- Solar panels, obviously.<br>- Wind is powered by the sun.<br>- Water is lifted up in the air by the sun before it rains.<br>- Coal and gas are ancient solar energy gathered by plants.<br>- Geothermal energy is, in part, caused by the moon or left over from the formation of the solar system. Which was caused by the sun.</p><p>What I find much more amazing is that there are some energy sources that are from the *previous* sun, created when it exploded:<br>- Nuclear fission energy is created from large atoms created at that time. This includes a portion of geothermal energy.<br>- Insofar as there are any of them left, some chemicals we can still burn/react were created then.</p><p>But there is one energy source that was not created by any sun:<br>- Nuclear fusion of hydrogen into helium. The hydrogen was created by the big bang!</p><p><a href="https://chitter.xyz/tags/Physics" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>Physics</span></a> <a href="https://chitter.xyz/tags/SolarEnergy" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>SolarEnergy</span></a> <a href="https://chitter.xyz/tags/NuclearEnergy" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>NuclearEnergy</span></a> <a href="https://chitter.xyz/tags/Geology" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>Geology</span></a> <a href="https://chitter.xyz/tags/Cosmology" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>Cosmology</span></a></p>
