Oil is the result of pant material that died million years ago.
Natural Gas started out like tiny plants animals called it plankton, it lived in ancient lakes and seas millions of years ago. The "plankton" died sank to the bottom of the seas and lakes and it was buried in the sand and mud. Millions of years, bacteria, heat and pressure changed the plankton into natural gas!
They started to run out the very day people started using them. Fossil fuels take millions of years to form. Any use by mankind would be greater than their natural replacement rate.
Fossil fuels are formed on Earth, not on Sun.
It takes millions of years for amber to become a fossil.

Fossil Fuel
Yes, petroleum is considered a type of organic matter derived from the decomposition of organic materials such as plankton and algae. It is a fossil fuel formed over millions of years through geological processes involving heat and pressure.
There are fossil fuels because things (like plants and animals) died hundreds of millions of years ago. Most Fossil fuels are non- renewable. Meaning they will not replenish untill we are dead and gone for hundreds of millions of years.
Fossil fuels are not considered renewable because it takes millions of years for them to form.
Yes. Three hundred millions years ago fossil fuels began to form, storing carbon safely underground.
Fossil fuels take millions of years to form, so once they are depleted, they are essentially gone for human timescales. However, it is technically possible for more fossil fuels to form over millions of years in the future, but for all practical purposes, once depleted, they are gone.
