the sun is solar. that is another name for the sun. the sun splits helium atoms, converting them into hydrogen atoms. we know this as nuclear reactions. as the atom is split, some of the mass is missing, as it is converted into energy. the sun does this on a massive scale, producing what we know as solar energy.

The suns own energy comes from solar energy?
The sun's own energy comes from nuclear reaction within the sun
How do solar panels work, and how effective are they?
Solar cells convert the suns energy and converts it to electricity. They rely on the ability of matter to emit electrons when light is shone on it. If you would like to do your own research, physics.org will be very helpful.
What country invented solar energy system origanatewho invented solar energy.?
Solar energy is energy from the sun, so really it forms on it own, but Russell Ohl discovered it and he was from America.
What are bacteria called that can make their own food without using the Suns energy?
Chemo-synthesizers.
Three uses of solar energy?
Whats the difference between solar energy and regular energy, nothing. So what are three uses of "non-solar" energy? I assume you want the benefits of solar energy, but that has its own question. Be more specific and think a little when entering answers.
Is there a single sun in universe?
There is a single sun in our own solar system, but not in the universe. There are trillions upon trillions of suns (or stars) in the universe.
How is sunshine free like solar energy?
Sunshine is solar energy. It is free if you collect your own solar energy because nobody legally owns the sun (and nobody ever will), therefore solar energy from the sun is free. However if you depend on a thrid party to deliver the energy to you from a solar power station, it will cost you a maintenance and delivery fee, to pay for the upkeep of the station. However, if you install your own solar panels rather than relying on a third party, it will cost you to install solar panels on your home, to convert your home to using solar energy and to take your home "off the system" (to remove your dependency from nationally-produced power). But it will not cost you anything to use solar energy from your own solar panels. In a couple of years, you would have produced enough personal energy from solar power to make the cost of the conversion worth it.
What are some pros and cons of using solar energy?
One will find using solar energy has it's own set of pros and cons. Since using solar energy doesn't produce pollution, it can help improve the environment of the earth. However, a con of using solar energy would be the production of the solar energy collecting devices, which do produce quite a bit of pollution.
What organism makes its own food using solar energy?
Green plants.
A producer makes its own food from raw material and energy from?
from the solar radiation
Do plants get diabetes?
no plants don't get diabetes because they produce their own food by the suns energy so they are called autotrophs.
Which process best shows the conversion of solar energy to chemical energy?
Green plants making their own food.
