Correct!
Yes! Most of the energy on Earth comes from the Sun - but some comes from the centre of the Earth.

The Sun supplies almost all of the energy that we use here on Earth. It gives us light and keeps us warm.

It makes the wind blow and plants grow.

And even the energy stored up in the oil, coal and gas that we use today came originally from the Sun.
