Verified step by step guidance1
Identify the definition of renewable energy: Renewable energy comes from sources that are naturally replenished on a human timescale, such as sunlight, wind, rain, tides, waves, and geothermal heat.
Examine each option to determine if it fits the definition of renewable energy.
Consider nuclear energy: It relies on uranium, which is a finite resource, and thus is not considered renewable.
Consider solar energy: It harnesses energy from the sun, which is abundant and continuously replenished, making it a renewable source.
Consider coal and natural gas: Both are fossil fuels that are extracted from the earth and are not replenished on a human timescale, so they are not renewable.
