Well when you have a solar pannel your converting the suns light energy into energy that you can use.
When you have lets say an ice cream, your converting the suns heat energy to energy that makes your ice cream melt.

When one form of energy is converted to one another form of energy is energy lost or gained?
it depends on conversion. wind to wind energy. Sun to solar Energy. and water to hydro have no loss only gained but on other hand electric to heat energy like also some heat will be lost. in nuclear energy some energy also lost during conversion.
What is the sun's source of heat?
The immediate sun's source of heat is the conversion of some matter into enery (E=mc2) as Hydrogen nucleii fuse to form Helium nucleii in the core of the Sun. . The ultimate source of all of the sun's energy is gravity. The gravitational forces on the sun's core are so strong that the matter is pressed together with such great force that the subatomic partles - namely protons - are fused with each other to create Helium nucleii. In this fusion process, a tiny fraction of the original proton mass is converted into energy, and it is this energy conversion that powers the sun.
Would radiant energy to chemical energy be solar energy?
Yes. It would be radiant to chemical energy because things(plants) would have to grow. Example: Sun to a tree The sun would be radiant and the tree would be chemical. No. A conversion between two types is not another type itself.
What causes energy to move from one place to another?
Electromagnetic energy from the sun is absorbed by the grass, which changes it into chemical energy.
Where does sun gets its light from?
There is a chemical reaction taking place at the core of sun. Its called 'Nuclear Fusion'. In this two hydrogen atom get fused together and form a Helium molecule with excreting a lot of energy in form of light and heat. rest of it one more reaction also take place, carbon get react with hydrogen and form nitrogen molecule....with energy liberation......thnx....

What is the primary energy conversion that takes place in plants photosynthesis?
It is sun light converting to the chemical energy. Pigments are absorbing light.
What is the event that take place as energy from the sun travels through an energy pyramid?
?
How long will it take earth to get to the sun?
It will take 8 minutes for the light from the sun to reach Earth. The actual heat of the sun does not reach all the way out to Earth. The warmth on Earth comes from the conversion of light energy to heat energy.
How is the sun's energy transfer to chemical energy?
That take place in chlorophylls. Process is called photosynthesis
Can you describe the events that take place as energy from the sun travels through an energy pyramid?
I have no clue
What type of energy conversion take place in order to have energy stored in grass for cows to eat?
From the feed, forage or roughage they eat.
Where does the energy come from for photosynthesis to take place?
Light waves produced by the sun.
The energy needed for the changes in the water cycle to take place comes from?
The sun.
Which type of energy makes us of the sun's rays?
Nuclear Fusion energy - the conversion of mass into energy.
What is the energy source that allows photosynthesist to take place?
Energy from the sun is what allows plants to make their own energy through photosynthesis.
What do the nuclear reactions that take place in the sun produce?
Helium plus released energy (heat)
Why is photosynthesis considered an energy conversion reaction?
It converts the light energy from the sun into chemical energy in the form of glucose, which can be used by the plant.
