Question

In science chapter "Stars and Solar System" there is a line in the topic "Sun and Planets" that says,"It (sun) is the source of almost all the energy that is available on the Earth." What is the source of the little energy that we don't get from the sun?

Answer 1

The energy derived from rising and falling ocean tides is called tidal energy, which is used to generate electricity. Tides are due to gravitational pull of the moon on waters in the oceans.
