The sun fuels itself via nuclear fusion. Hydrogen atoms join together in a proton/proton chain, turning into helium. Some of the helium burns to continue the proton/proton chain while the remainder of the energy escapes to space.

∙ 12y agoThe sun provides energy for plants to use in growing. The plants store the sun's
energy, in the form of chemical compounds that they form with sunshine, water,
gas from the air, and minerals from the soil. Living bodies, such as those in which
animals, insects, and people are found, are capable of processing those chemical
compounds from plants and releasing the stored solar energy.

If your in a lower grade than 8 and don't understand this, here are simpler terms- a plant cell ( microscopic things that control the functions of a plant)absorb sunlight, water, and carbon dioxide(when you breath out you make carbon dioxide!) to make food for the plant.

∙ 13y agoHydrogen. There's enough temperature and pressure in the center of the sun
(and every normal average star) to force the nuclei of hydrogen atoms to 'fuse'
(join together) and make helium atoms. Every time two hydrogen atoms fuse,
the mass of the combination is slightly less than the mass of the original two
atoms, and the missing mass has turned into pure energy.
To be brutal about it, it's the same fundamental process that produces the great
outflow of energy from the "hydrogen" bomb, except that in the sun, it's been
going on steadily for billions of years, and there's still so much hydrogen left
that it's expected to continue for billions more.

The energy source of a dandelion?
Plants get their energy from the Sun.
What gets it's energy indirectly from the sun?
All animal life on the earth get their energy indirectly from the sun as they consume plants that get their energy directly from the sun or other animals that have consumed plants.
Do consumers get energy indirectly from the sun?
Yes, consumers indirectly get energy from the sun through various processes. The sun's energy is captured by plants during photosynthesis, converting it into chemical energy stored in the form of carbohydrates. Consumers then obtain this energy by consuming plants or other organisms that have consumed plants.
Do killer bee get energy from the sun?
No. Plants get energy from the sun. Bee's, like most animals, get their energy from food.
How does the petrol came originally from energy from the sun?
It is usually believed that petroleum is the result of decay of living beings - i.e., plants and animals. Probably mainly plants. These plants get their energy from the Sun. Animals, which directly or indirectly eat plants, thus also indirectly get their energy from the Sun.
What energy do plants convert sun's energy into?
Plants convert the sun's energy into chemical energy I hope i helped
Light energy from the sun is converted by plants into?
Light energy from the sun is converted by plants into chemical energy.
Do omnivores get their energy from the sun like producers do?
Omnivores get their energy from plants that they eat. The plants get their energy from the sun.
How do plants get gas?
plants get there energy from sun
What does the sun provide plants with?
The sun provides energy to plants.
Where do plants get the energy to make food?
Photosynthesis is the act of trapping the light energy from the sun and turning it into chemical energy in the molecule starch. The energy it traps comes from high energy photons.
What is a energy that comes from things such as plants and trees?
Plants use energy from the sun.
Plants are the ultimate source of energy?
No, because plants receive their energy from the sun via photosynthesis.
From where do green plants get energy?
The energy for photoshythesis in plants come from the sun.
How does energy from animals come originally from the sun?
Animals get their energy from other animals that have eaten plants or from plants themselves. Plants get their energy to produce sugars from the sun.
Where do plants get their energy from?
Most plants get their energy from the sun via absorption via their Chlorophyll.
What things need energy from the sun?
Plants need energy from the sun.
