Best Answer

Sunlight is only an energy source to plants where it is utilized and synthesized through a process called photosynthesis. Cow dung is used as an energy source both by plants as a "food" source, since it contains nutrients necessary for plants to grow, and as a biofuel for humans to create electricity or even run a motor. The manure is burned or heated releasing methane which is used to generate current to enable electricity or power to be generated to run an entire town or a motor.
