You go outside on a sunny day in the summer and the ground is warm or even sometimes too hot to stand on with bare feet. That is because the Sun's electromagnetic radiation is converted directly into heat on hitting the ground, raising its temperature.
The Sun emits electromagnetic and heat energy; we receive that.The Sun gets its energy from nuclear energy; specifically, converting hydrogen-1 into helium-4.

A non-example of heat energy would be light energy, which does not involve the transfer of thermal energy but rather of electromagnetic energy.

Burning wood in a fireplace is an example of converting chemical energy stored in the wood into heat energy and light energy through combustion.
An example of heat energy converting to mechanical energy is a steam engine. In a steam engine, heat energy from burning fuel is used to boil water and produce steam. The expanding steam pushes against pistons, creating mechanical energy that can be used to power machinery.
When you burn a fuel in air you are converting chemical potential energy into thermal energy. The only energy input needed is to raise the fuel temperature to the ignition point. To obtain electromagnetic energy you have to drive a generator, which requires mechanical energy, so you have to use the thermal energy to drive a heat engine, a gas turbine is a good example.
No, electromagnetic energy and heat energy are not the same. Electromagnetic energy refers to energy carried by electromagnetic waves such as light, while heat energy refers to the energy associated with the random motion of atoms and molecules within a substance. Heat can be transferred by electromagnetic radiation, but they are distinct forms of energy.

Combustion (fire or burning) is arguably the most common example of converting chemical energy into thermal energy. But consider that all animals create a bit of thermal energy converting chemical energy into heat (as well as some mechanical energy) when they move.
