Has fossil fuel been around million years ago?
Fossil fuels are formed by plant and animal matter that decays differently under immense pressure and large periods of time deep in the earth's crust. As long as there have been plants and animals (subtracting the perhaps million years it takes to actually form the fuel), there have been fossil fuels. In this way, fossil fuels ARE renewable, though it takes a very, very long time. As long as things continue to die and be buried and potentially, to fossilize or decay, there will be fossil fuels, though there is an argument about how long sufficient quantities of these fuels will last.
How long do it take a fossil fuel to form?
50million to 100million years
What is the name for the energy that was formed long ago in the carboniferous period?

How long does it take uranium to become a fossil fuel?
Uranium is not a fossil fuel and cannot be a fossil fuel.
Are fossil fuel nonrenwable?
yes because a fossil fuel is a nonrenewable energy resource formed form the remains of plants and animals that lived long ago plus if it is burned then we can not get more
How long does a fossil fuel last?
As long as a fossil. Over billions of years.
Why save Earth's energy?
The energy saving refer to the potential energy store in term of fossil fuel that had long duration of processing. The fossil fuel had very long cycle of 100,000 year while it can be used in matter of century. Rely on these energy and if it would deplete (which is not too long from now) we will have hardship maintaining the civilization. It is then to save the earth's energy and move toward shorter energy cycle such as biomass or wind farm or even the photo voltaic.
What year will fossil fuel become nonrenewable?
Fossil fuel was laid down under the ground millions of years ago, so it has been non-renewable for a long time. This won't change.
How does burning any kind of fuel turn solar energy into thermal energy?
Fossil fuels come from long dead living organisms that have been put under pressure for millions of years. The living organisms once grew and needed the Sun like every living organism to grow. Therefore, when we burn fossil fuels were turning solar energy into thermal energy.
