The intense heat and light generated by nuclear fusion in the sun's core is stored there until it slowly works it's way to the sun's surface and travels outward into space. Astronomers believe that the heat of a ton of hydrogen fused into helium in the sun's core today will not reach the outer surface of the sun for 200,000 years yet.

Sunlight emits light energy which is absorbed by the thylacoids in the chloroplasts of a plant. Chloroplasts are organelles in a plant cell whose funtion is photosynthesis (the use of light to make energy). Thylacoids are a part of the chloroplast which absorbs light. The thylaciods convert the light into energy molecules NADPH and ATD. The Calvin cycle then takes place in the stroma (gellatinous matrix of the chloroplast). The Calvin cycle is the use of ATP and NADPH plus carbondioxide to produce starch. Starch is the polysaccharide sugar formed from glucose synthesized in a linear chain. The starch is the storage of the glucose which is used as an energy source for the plant cells.
