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.

How can energy from corn plants and cow dung be traced back to the sun?

Energy from corn plants and cow dung can be traced back to the sun through the process of photosynthesis. Corn plants absorb sunlight and convert it into chemical energy by synthesizing glucose from carbon dioxide and water. When cows consume corn, they digest the plant material, and the energy stored in the glucose is transformed into animal energy, which is then released as waste, including dung. Thus, both the corn and the dung ultimately contain energy that originated from the sun.
