💡 Explanation:
The Sun is the ultimate primary source of energy for a wide range of renewable technologies. Solar panels directly convert sunlight into electricity. Wind power is generated by wind, which is created by uneven heating of the Earth's surface by the sun. Hydropower relies on the water cycle (evaporation, condensation, precipitation), which is driven by solar energy. While Earth's geothermal heat and the Moon's gravitational pull (for tidal energy) are also renewable sources, they are not the primary ultimate source for the majority of common renewable energy forms listed.
