Reason (R): Solar energy is renewable because the sun will always produce power.

Options

• Both Assertion (A) and Reason (R) are true and Reason (R) is the correct explanation of Assertion (A).

• Both Assertion (A) and Reason (R) are true and Reason (R) is not the correct explanation of Assertion (A).

Answer 1

Both Assertion (A) and Reason (R) are true and Reason (R) is the correct explanation of Assertion (A).

Explanation:

Solar energy is an example of a renewable source of energy because it is derived from the sun, which is a natural and perpetual source. The sun continuously produces energy, and this energy can be harnessed without depletion. Hence, solar energy is renewable, as the sun will always emit power, making it an inexhaustible resource unlike non-renewable sources such as coal or petroleum, which can get exhausted.
