No, the sun's energy is a byproduct of nuclear fusion, primarily hydrogen gas "burned" into helium. There are no significant quantities of complex organic hydrocarbons in our sun. While there is oxygen, the hydrogen/oxygen or carbon/oxygen chemical reaction is not what results in solar energy.

What is the main cause of increased carbon dioxide?
The increase of carbon dioxide in the atmosphere is a combination of increased input from vehicles and industry, and a decreased outtake due to large amounts of trees being cut down and not replaced.
How is solar energy cheap?
Solar energy is cheap compared to the high costs of fossil fuels and the toll they take on the environment. Solar energy is cheap in the long run. Very cheap, like in NJ after 5 years.....FRee kind of cheap!
What is scorching sun?
Like a "burning sun?"
What is huge balls of burning gas in space?
That sounds like the description of a star. Please note that the "burning" does not refer to a chemical reaction, even though stars are "burning hot"; stars get their energy from nuclear fusion.
Why does the energy you get from many of our resources come from the sun?
Because the Sun is the only source of energy we have. Everything else like coal, oil, gas, hydroelectric, is or was produced by the action of the Sun's light and heat.
Burning fossil fuels is like letting go of a slingshot because both change potential energy into?
Burning fossil fuels turns potential energy into kinetic energy. Kinetic energy is energy in motion, which can be used to do work.
What methods and energy sources do you use to heat water?
Burning fossil fuels like oil and gas.
Burning fossil fuels is like letting go of a slingshot because both change potential energy into what kind of energy.?
kinetic
Where does the energy that fuels your weather come from?
the sun. hope you like this essay?
How does the burning of fossil fuels provide the primary energy source for most of modern society?
Well when you burn fossil fuels you get alot of the energy that we use like petroluem, natural gas, and coal.
Burning fossil fuels is like letting go of a slingshot because both change potential energy into what kind of energy?
kinetic
How does burning any kind of fuel turn solar energy into thermal energy?
Fossil fuels come from long dead living organisms that have been put under pressure for millions of years. The living organisms once grew and needed the Sun like every living organism to grow. Therefore, when we burn fossil fuels were turning solar energy into thermal energy.
How is the gloabl warming related to energy resource?
Much of our energy consumption is covered from fossil fuels, like oil (petroleum) or coal. Burning these fossil fuels produces carbon dioxide, which is a greenhouse gas (a substances that causes global warming).
How is recycling like fossil fuels?
It's not because recycling is good and burning fossil fuels is bad.
How does natural gas energy usage impact the environment?
As with the burning of all fossil fuels like natural gas, it releases greenhouse gases like CO2 that contribute to climate change. That said, natural gas is one of the cleanest fossil fuels.
How does burning contribute to acid rain?
It contributes by the burning of fossil fuels like coal that realeases sulphur
Does energy from burning coal and oil send greenhouse gases into the air?
Yes- and I like to add that it is a very serious problem. Also, burning natural gas does contribute to global warming. See fossil fuels under wikipedia.
