The term " renewable energy " describes the use of a power source that doesn't take away from the earth. For example solar and wind power is renewable while coal and gas power is not.
 
Well, renewable energy sources are wind and hydro. They will never run out. Nonrenewable energy sources are coal. Nonrenewable energy sources are fossil fuels. The similarities are that most of them have a relation with the sun. A nonrenewable energy source and a renewable energy source are similar in the way some of them are used to transform energy (you cannot create energy, it can only be transformed from one energy to another.) The similarities are few but there are many differences, most of the positives are on the renewable energy's side.

Thanks.

Hope that helped.
 
Renewable energy is energy that can be reproduced and reused. Some examples of renewable energy are water (hydropower), wind, solar, geothermal, and biomass.
 
The Term Renewable energy means that it can be renewed at least semi fast. The sun most likely won't go away anytime soon so solar energy is renewable. Same with water or wind. Nuclear energy isn't renewable because uranium can't be produced and won't be created soon hence, it's a nonrenewable resource which makes nuclear energy a nonrenewable energy.
