Chlorophyll is the molecule in plant cells that first captures the radiant energy from sunlight. Chlorophyll can also be spelled as chlorophyll.

Chlorophyll is the molecule responsible for first capturing radiant energy from sunlight during photosynthesis. It is a pigment found in plants that absorbs light energy, which is then used to convert carbon dioxide and water into glucose and oxygen.
An organism that captures energy from sunlight and transforms it into chemical energy stored in energy-rich carbon compounds is a plant. Through a process called photosynthesis, plants use sunlight to convert carbon dioxide and water into glucose, a sugar molecule that serves as a source of energy for the plant.
Chlorophyll is the molecule in a blade of grass that captures solar energy during photosynthesis.
The energy produced by sunlight is radiant energy which consists of heat and light from the sun.
Thermal energy and radiant energy are both received from sunlight.
Yes, all of those examples involve radiant energy. Lightning is a natural form of radiant energy, the stove transfers radiant heat to the pot of water, a television emits radiation in the form of light and sound, and sunlight is a primary source of radiant energy for the Earth.
The question is based on a lack of understanding of what radiant energy is! It is not bad: there would be no life on earth if it were not for sunlight - which, in case you had not noticed, is a form of radiant energy.
It captures the energy from sunlight as chemical energy.
