- The sun's radiation grew plants (photosynthesis)
- Animals ate the plants
- Plants and animals died and were crushed underground for 300 million years, turning into fossil fuels (coal, oil and natural gas)
- We dig them up and burn them, releasing that long lost energy from the sun! (As well as the long lost carbon dioxide!) nnnn

Why is the sun the source of energy for fossil fuels?
Fossil fuels are produced by the slow alteration of masses of vegetation, compressed underground. That vegetation originally used the energy of sunlight to grow, therefore it is the sun's energy which is stored in chemical form, in fossil fuels.
Are fossil fuels stored solar energy?
Yes, the energy in fossil fuels (coal, oil and natural gas) came originally from the sun.
Are all fossil fuels energy from the sun?
Yes, originally the sun provided the energy to grow plants to feed the dinosaurs and other creatures that made up the organic matter that is now fossil fuels (coal, oil and natural gas).
Is the sun's energy stored in fossil fuels?
Yes.

Why is the sun responsible for making a car operational?
It was either that sunlight grew the plants long ago that became the fossil fuels for cars, or that the heat from the sun creates energy to power the cars.
Where did fossil fuels get their energy from?
the sun
What did fossil fuels get their energy originally from?
The sun.
Where did fossil fuels actually get their energy from?
the sun
How is the chemical energy in fossil fuels related to the sun's energy?
The potential chemical energy in fossil fuels and food was stored by plants that converted the sun's radiant energy into chemical energy.
Fossil fuels store energy from the sun as?
Chemical Energy.
Why is the sun the source of energy for fossil fuels?
Fossil fuels are produced by the slow alteration of masses of vegetation, compressed underground. That vegetation originally used the energy of sunlight to grow, therefore it is the sun's energy which is stored in chemical form, in fossil fuels.
Fossil fuels contains energy that originally came 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.
Which force of energy does not come directly from the sun?
Fossil Fuels (:
What is the ultimate source of energy for all fossil fuels?
The SUN!
Where did the fossil fuels get there energy?
Ultimately, all energy only comes from the Sun. This is how the energy is transferred: Sun>plants>animals. Therefore, fossil fuels obtain their energy from plants itself and animals when they've consumed plants.
How did the energy get into fossil fuels?
Fossil fuels are made from plant and vegetable matter that died millions of years ago. The plants and vegetables got their energy from the main energy source around here - our sun. Essentially, fossil fuels can be regarded as stored energy from the sun. We use/release that energy again by burning the fuel.
