Fossil fuels are produced by the slow alteration of masses of vegetation, compressed underground. That vegetation originally used the energy of sunlight to grow, therefore it is the sun's energy which is stored in chemical form, in fossil fuels.

Are fossil fuels stored solar energy?
Yes, the energy in fossil fuels (coal, oil and natural gas) came originally from the sun.
Is the sun the original source of energy for solar fuels?
Yes.
Are all fossil fuels energy from the sun?
Yes, originally the sun provided the energy to grow plants to feed the dinosaurs and other creatures that made up the organic matter that is now fossil fuels (coal, oil and natural gas).
How did fossil fuels begin with the energy from the sun?
The sun's radiation grew plants (photosynthesis)Animals ate the plantsPlants and animals died and were crushed underground for 300 million years, turning into fossil fuels (coal, oil and natural gas)We dig them up and burn them, releasing that long lost energy from the sun! (As well as the long lost carbon dioxide!) nnnn

What is the ultimate source of energy for all fossil fuels?
The SUN!
Are fossil fuels a type of energy source?
Coal is a source of energy but i dontknow about all of them.
Why should solar energy be considered as an alternative to fossil fuels?
Solar energy is a potential alternative for fossil fuels. It is a renewable source of energy and will be available as long as the sun lasts.
Is the sun's energy the major source of energy?
It is the source of almost all of our energy. Much of our current energy is a product of the sun, including the foods we eat and fossil fuels.
How did the energy get into fossil fuels?
Fossil fuels are made from plant and vegetable matter that died millions of years ago. The plants and vegetables got their energy from the main energy source around here - our sun. Essentially, fossil fuels can be regarded as stored energy from the sun. We use/release that energy again by burning the fuel.
The source of energy in fossil fuels can be traced back to the what?
alternative resource or just alternative
Where did fossil fuels get their energy from?
the sun
What did fossil fuels get their energy originally from?
The sun.
Where did fossil fuels actually get their energy from?
the sun
How is the chemical energy in fossil fuels related to the sun's energy?
The potential chemical energy in fossil fuels and food was stored by plants that converted the sun's radiant energy into chemical energy.
What is the original source of biomass and fossil fuels?
The Sun.
What is the main source of energy on the earth?
The main source is fossil fuels, but their energy is actually stored solar energy from long ago plants. The vast majority of energy expressed on the planet comes from the Sun.
