Which term means produced or operated by the sun's light or heat?

• A. Solar
• B. Hydro
• C. Nuclear
• D. Geothermal

Answer: (A)

The term describes energy or activity that comes from the sun's light or heat. This is what solar means—relating to the sun. Solar energy, solar panels, and solar heating all rely on sunlight to produce power or heat. Hydro refers to energy from water, not the sun. Nuclear involves energy from atomic nuclei, not sunlight. Geothermal comes from the heat inside the Earth. So the one that fits the description of being produced or operated by the sun's light or heat is solar.
