It can be used in several forms, directly and indirectly. For example, you can sit in the sunlight to get warm. We use it at home for cooking (with a solar cooker), and for heating water, which we use mainly for taking showers (with a solar water heating system).

How does the sun make thermal energy?

The sun produces thermal energy through nuclear fusion in its core. This process involves the fusion of hydrogen atoms to form helium, releasing a tremendous amount of energy in the form of thermal radiation. This energy is then emitted from the sun and travels through space in the form of sunlight.
