Energy captured from the Sun is known as which energy?

• A. Solar Energy
• B. Wind Energy
• C. Water Energy
• D. Geothermal Energy

Answer: (A)

Solar energy is the energy captured from the Sun. It comes from sunlight and can be transformed into electricity with photovoltaic cells or into heat with solar thermal collectors. This distinguishes it from other energy sources: wind energy comes from moving air, water energy from moving or falling water, and geothermal energy from heat inside the Earth.
