Humans can't get energy directly from the sun, they get it indirectly via plants.
Plants fix the energy from the sun by photosynthesis; this enables them to grow & become food.
Humans eat the plants, or eat the herbivores (e.g. beef cattle) which have grown & produced meat by eating the plants.
So you could say that the solar energy that humans obtain is either 2nd or 3rd hand.

The sun can give plants the energy to make food, we eat this food to live.
The sun can give energy to a solar panel to turn into electricity and to power our everyday things.
The sun can give plants energy to make food for animals like deer to eat and we kill the dear to eat for energy.

Does your body get all its energy from sun . explain?
Yes - indirectly. We get energy from the food we eat, which comes from animals or plants; animals also get their energy from plants; and plants get the energy from sunlight.
What are some uses of solar energy?
the sun is a priceless ball of gas that helps the enviorment survive!!!! Without the sun nobody would live!!!
How are humans dependent on energy?
Humans obtain energy by exercising daily,and staying in the sun
Where do plants get the energy to make food?
Photosynthesis is the act of trapping the light energy from the sun and turning it into chemical energy in the molecule starch. The energy it traps comes from high energy photons.
How is the energy of the sun transferred through a food web?
The sun allow plants to photosynthesis which is to make food and grow. The plants eating animals will eat them and then the meat eating animals will eat animals. Then us humans will eat the animals and plants.
How is sun energy used for benefit of humans?
99.999% of all energy that humans use is originally form the Sun.
What is our principal source of energy explain your answer?
SUN
Explain Why the sun is major source is energy?
Sun is the source of heat and light energy. It provides energy on earth's surface.
The main source of energy for humans is?
The Sun.
How much of the energy provided by the sun and captured by other organisms is used by humans?
40 % of the energy provided by the sun and captured by other organisms is used by humans.
Why light from the sun important?
Humans get energy from sunlight.
Why the light from the sun is important?
Humans get energy from sunlight.
How do humans use energy from the sun?
The warmth i think
Can humans get hundred percent energy from the sun?
If you mean through solar energy alone then no, we cannot fulfil all our energy needs from the sun.
Animals do not make their own food from energy in sunlight Explain why they still depend on the sun for energy?
Because what they eat requires sunlight to live, therefore without sunlight they'd have no food.
Explain how heterotroph get their energy from the Sun even though they cannot make their own food?
Heterotrophs get their energy from the sun indirectly. This because they eat autotrophs who make their energy using the sun.
How does energy from the sun get converted into energy that can be used by humans and other animals?
By the process of Photosynthesis.
