Do producers change the sun's energy into energy stored in surgars?

Yes, yes they do :)


Where does the energy stored in wind and waves come from?

it comes from the sun


Were is the sun's energy stored?

The sun stores energy in the subatomic particles (mostly hydrogen nuclei) of the plasma that makes it up. As our local star fuses these subatomic particles into helium and heavier nuclei, tremendous energy is liberated in the process. This is the engine by which the sun derives it power, and the term we apply to the process is stellar nucleosynthesis. Later in life, the sun will fuse progressively heavier nuclei together until it is primarily iron, then burn out and die. On earth, the energy of the sun that reaches here is stored as thermal energy in the materials on the earth. (A lot of this is re-radiated back into space at night.) It is also stored as chemical energy in plants. That chemical energy is transferred to animals. To a small degree, it is stored as electrical energy when we use solar (photovoltaic) panels to charge batteries.


Where is energy from the sun stored on earth?

Much of the energy is reflected back to space, so it isn't stored at all. Part of the energy is stored short-term or medium-term as heat energy - in whatever gets heated up, directly or indirectly by the sunlight, including the oceans which can store a significant amount of heat. And a relatively small amount is stored by living beings, starting with plants which store it as chemical energy.


What are facts about storing and releasing energy?

Energy cannot be created nor can it be destroyed. It can be stored and released. The energy is transformed from one form to another. Ex. Sun's solar energy can be transformed into electrical energy. It can be stored and released when in need.
