directly from the sun is often the first thing that comes to mind when people mention solar power however when you really think about it the sun's responsible for far more than just fueling solar panels wind farms are an indirect result of the sun's rays as convection currents drive global airstreams and create the majority of gusts on the globe. and in fact there'd be no plants or trees to make biofuels from if there was no sun to spur on photosynthesis in the first place. as those plants die off and decompose thermal heat and pressure slowly turns those into fossil fuels like coal and oil however there is one source of energy that has no apparent connection to the sun. instead the moon is to think for the motion of the ocean that we know is the tides of proximity exerts a much stronger influence than the sun. as the moon circles the globe the water closest to it gets pulled out words especially at the equator.
