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.
Yes, the energy in fossil fuels (coal, oil and natural gas) came originally 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).
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
Yes. Here's how it works.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!

the sun
not really fossil is made from dead organism

Production of fossil fuels takes lots of time. The sun provides light energy which, through photosynthesis, is used by plants to grow. After the plant dies (along with millions of other plants) it may be covered up by dirt, rocks etc. The heat and pressure exerted on this material under ground, with no air (oxygen) to allow burning, converts it into fossil fuels.
Fossil fuels are formed on Earth, not on Sun.

how does the sun affect the formation of ocean currants
