The Sun obtain it energy by squashing (fusing) 4 individual Hydrogen atoms together in its core to make a new, single helium atom.
The new Helium atom has slightly less mass than the 4 original hydrogen atoms and according to Einstein's famous equation E=MC2, the lost mass is converted into a HUGE amount of energy. The Sun loses mass (converts it to energy) at the rate of 4.26 million metric tons per second. This is the source of the heat and light energy of the Sun.
What else can I help you with?
What kind of enegry does the sun give off?
heat and light energy
What does the sun give us here on Earth?
The sun gives energy, in the form of heat and light.
What four things does the sun give us?
The sun gives us light, it makes our plants grow, it gives us warmth and it gives us energy.
What 2 types of energy does the sun give to the earth?
Radioactive and solar energy (or light and heat).
From what part of the sun does the sun produce its energy?
The sun is just a great ball of gas and its the atoms in that gas that fuse and give off its energy(in heat and light).
How do you convert heat energy to light energy?
solar energy. heat from the sun gives you heat and changes to light because heat can be used for light.
What do the sun do that makes it give off light and heat energy?
The sun gives off light and heat energy through a process called nuclear fusion. In the sun's core, hydrogen atoms fuse together to form helium, releasing enormous amounts of energy in the form of light and heat. This energy is what sustains life on Earth and warms our planet.
What is the energy from the sun?
Energy from the sun is called solar energy. Solar energy is light energy.
How much heat energy does the sun give out?
That depends what exactly you classify as "heat energy". However, basically all of the the energy emitted by the Sun - including visible light, which contains a large portion of the Sun's energy - can be converted to heat when it is absorbed.
What is the term given to heat and light radiated from the sun?
The term for heat and light radiated from the sun is solar energy.
What two vital things does the sun give us?
The sun provides warmth by radiating heat energy, which is essential for life on Earth. Additionally, the sun emits light energy, which is crucial for photosynthesis in plants, the primary source of energy for all living organisms.
How does the sun ceate heat and light?
The sun creates heat and light through nuclear fusion, where hydrogen atoms in the sun's core combine to form helium, releasing large amounts of energy in the process. The energy produced by this fusion process is emitted as heat and light that we feel and see here on Earth.
