solar energy.
heat
The energy produced by sunlight is radiant energy which consists of heat and light from the sun.
photosynthesise. they gather chemical energy from the heat energy produced by the sun
No, that would cool the Sun down, not heat it. It was at some time believed that a CONTRACTION of the Sun would produce heat, and that is indeed possible, but most of the Sun's energy is produced by nuclear fusion - converting hydrogen into helium.
Light and Infrared Radiation (Heat)
The warmth from the sun is a prime example of heat energy, as it radiates heat to Earth. Heat energy is produced when a stove burner is turned on and heats up a pot or pan. The warmth generated by rubbing your hands together is another example of heat energy being produced through friction.
Geothermal energy is not directly from the sun. It comes from the heat within the Earth's core due to radioactive decay of elements like uranium and thorium. This heat is continuously produced and used for geothermal energy generation.
Radiation, called Solar Radiation. Radiant energy in produced in the sun by nuclear fusion.
The light and heat given off by the sun are actually high energy produced by nuclear fusion of hydrogen.
The energy produced by the fusion of hydrogen atoms into helium in the sun's core is what generates the heat and light emitted by the sun. This process releases energy in the form of electromagnetic radiation, which includes visible light and heat.
Nuclear fusion in the sun's core, where Hydrogen-1 is converted to Helium-4 plus energy.
The sun primarily produces two types of energy: electromagnetic radiation, in the form of sunlight, and nuclear energy, through the process of nuclear fusion in its core. The nuclear fusion reactions within the sun's core convert hydrogen into helium, releasing vast amounts of energy in the form of heat and light. This energy is essential for sustaining life on Earth and driving various atmospheric and oceanic processes.
