Is coal a form of Solar energy?
Yes, the energy stored in coal came from the sun. Plants using an ingenious process called photosynthesis, use energy from the sun, to take carbon-dioxide from the air, use the carbon and release the oxygen back to the air. After the plant is eaten or dies and is decomposed or burned (the net effect is the same) the oxygen again breaks the chemical bonds, releasing the energy from the sun and liberating the carbon-dioxide back to the air to become the next generation of plants. Coal is carbon from the air and energy from the sun.
Are fossil fuels stored solar energy?
Yes, the energy in fossil fuels (coal, oil and natural gas) came originally from the sun.
How is coal fuel connected to the sun?
Coal was formed from plant matter that was covered by mud or silt and subjected to intense heat and pressure over millions of years. The sun is the source of energy for all plants, therefore all of the energy held in coal originated from the sun.
How sun is ultimate source of energy source for coal?
We are pretty sure that coal formed from layers of plant matter accumulating at the bottom of a body of water, then being deeply buried under sediment and rock and eventually compressed and transformed by the heat and pressure into coal. The plants that eventually became coal derived their energy from the sun while they were living - just as plants do now - so the sun is the original source of the energy you get from coal.
How do you store solar energy?
The solar planar cells on the earth receive the solar energy from sun and this energy can be stored in batteries
When you burn coal oil and gas for energy how are you using stored energy from the Sun?
yes
Where does the energy stored in coal originally come form?
From the sun's radiation which made the plants grow that converted into coal

Where does coal get its energy?
the sun is where coal gets it energy.
Beans and coal both have stored energy. Where did the energy come from?
The energy in vegetation (beans) and coal (a fossil fuel from animals eating vegetation or eating other animals feeding on vegetation) ultimately comes from the sun.
In what form does coal store energy from the sun?
Coal stores energy from the sun in the form of chemical energy
Energy stored in wood and coal came from the same source what is it?
Basically energy from the sun enables plants to grow by photosynthesis, using chemicals in the soil and atmosphere. Coal is the fossilised remains of ancient plants.

The engery from the sun is stored in what?
The energy that is produced from the sun is stored in plants.
What does energy from the sun become after the liquid water becomes in the air?
The energy stored in water vapor is generally called latent heat.
What does coal store energy from the sun as what?
Electromagnetic Energy
