Why can you say that energy from fossil fuel burning energy comes from the sun?
Because the energy comes from free carbon and oxygen that produce heat when they are recombined to form CO2 (carbon dioxide). The fossil fuel contains hydrocarbons that can be burned to produce CO2, water and heat. The fossil fuel material was formed millions of years ago by photosynthesis, when plants took in CO2 and separated the carbon from the oxygen, using the Sun's rays. The carbon was used in the production of tissues for the planets, and the oxygen was released into the atmosphere. So the energy that comes from burning fossil fuels came originally from the Sun by photosynthesis.
Is sun a fossil fuel?
NO, The sun shines today and hopefully tomorrow and brings warmth and light as it did to the dinosaurs millions of years ago that since has been converted to the crude oil we recover today.
How is fossil fuel related to the suns energy?
fossil fuels are the remains of dead plant matter, mostly plankton. Those plants use the sun to preform photosynthis. So the sun in a way grew the materials that the oil and coal we use today are made up of.Read more: What_does_the_sun_have_to_do_with_fossil_fuels
Can you burn fossil fuels on the moon?
to burn any material, not only fossil fuel, we need three things: 1. Fuel (any material that can be burned, ex: fossil fuel, wood, paper, etc) 2. Ignition (high temperature, or fire sparks) 3. Air and now, if you want to burn fossil fuel on the moon you also need these three factors.. the answer is : NO, because there is no air on the moon ( if there is, it's just in a very small volume and can't be used to burn fossil fuel) ~ ANSWER 2.0 BY RUSSIANS 1)there is no fossil fuel on the moon 2)there no oxygen on the moon however if you bring your own, like the FUEL AND OXIDIZER for rocket engines of American space craft fossil fuel will burn just fine. i believe the fuel used was hydrogen witch is non petroleum so technically it was not fossil fuel. but never the less it was fire in vacuum.
How does the fossil fuel coal contain energy from the sun?
Plants use the energy from the sun to make food. They depend on sunlight to power chemical reactions vital for life. In a number of instances, plants that lived long ago died, and their remains built up in a layer or layers. As more and more overburden was deposited on top of the layer, compression and time changed the "plant material" into coal. This gives rise to the idea that the fossil fuel coal contains energy from the sun.
How the sun affect fossil fuel?
it dosent
Which fossil fuel is formed over millions of years from sun?
Fossil fuels are formed on Earth, not on Sun.
Is fossil fuels a resource of inexhaustible solar energy?
Fossil fuel energy is from the sun originally that is true. But they are certainly not inexhaustible.
Fossil fuel harness the energy?
fossil fuels are a type of renewable resources
Is rocket fuel a fossil fuel?
Yes it is a fossil fuel.
Why is the sun not a fossil fuel?
Because it cannot be burned. Fossil fuels, by definition, are chemicals which were created by living organisms at an earlier time. The sun condensed out of an interstellar cloud of gas.
What are 3 natural sources of energy?
Sun, fossil fuel and tidal currents for example
Is solar a fossil fuel?
No its not a fossil fuel
What natural resources are used to supply energy?
Fossil fuel, the wind, the Sun, hydro and biomass
Did the energy that is stored in fossil fuels come from fission or fusion reactions from the sun?
Not fission. The sun's energy is produced by nuclear fusion, and that energy produced all the vegetation which turned into fossil fuel.
How are non fossil fuels formed?
It depends which non fossil fuel you are referring to.People use food as a fuel source.Electricity can be generated by the sun, wind, hydro power, nuclear, fuel cells. Each are formed in different ways.
How long does it take uranium to become a fossil fuel?
Uranium is not a fossil fuel and cannot be a fossil fuel.
