The immediate sun's source of heat is the conversion of some matter into enery (E=mc2) as Hydrogen nucleii fuse to form Helium nucleii in the core of the Sun.
.
The ultimate source of all of the sun's energy is gravity. The gravitational forces on the sun's core are so strong that the matter is pressed together with such great force that the subatomic partles - namely protons - are fused with each other to create Helium nucleii. In this fusion process, a tiny fraction of the original proton mass is converted into energy, and it is this energy conversion that powers the sun.

Why dark surfaces are good absorbers of heat and shiny surfaces are poor absorbers of heat?
If you are talking in terms of the suns heat being absorbed by the surfaces then I have the answer. Shiny surfaces naturally deflect the suns rays where as dark surfaces are easy conductors of heat as they naturally catch the suns rays. You will notice with leather or print on a shirt that it gets hot because the rays have nowhere to go. A shiny surface will just deflect it back.
What is caused by the suns energy?
heat and fire and explosions from its source in the middle exploding and eventualy run out shrinks, turns white then creates a super Nova (very big boom). :-)
A burn is an injury that results from a heat source The heat source may be?
thermal, electrical, chemical, or radiation
Does the energy from evaporation come from the sun?
Yes, it does because the suns rays heat the the water so that is can evaporate
Is friction a source of heat?
Yes, friction produces heat.
What is the suns source of energy?
The sun crushes hydrogen into helium with its immense gravity. This makes light and heat. This is a nuclear reaction.

What does the suns heat and light come from?
the suns heat light and energy comes from the core of the sun and travels trough space
How do the suns heat get to the earth?
Radiation
Primary source of the suns energy is?
The primary source of the suns energy is nuclear fusion of hydrogen. Nuclear fusion occurs in the core of the Earth.
Does photosynthesis need the suns heat energy or the suns light energy?
Light energy.
Source of the suns energy?
Elements used to create: Hydrogen, Helium, Time. Things the Sun contains: Neutrinos, Heat, Atoms, Photons, Hydrogen, Helium.
What mode of heat is it for suns heat to reach us?
by solar energy
How does the ocean absorb heat?
The ocean absorbs heat through the suns rays
Do the suns rays that are at an angle produce more heat?
no
How does the Suns energy affect earths atmosphere?
Heat!!
What is radiation in water cycle?
the radiation is the suns heat
