I assume you mean convert the sun's heat energy into light, this process occurs in almost every material in the universe, including yourself, the sun's 'heat' is merely particles bouncing off one another very fast like thousands of bouncing balls in a huge container that is shaken up, when these particles collide they sometimes give off a bit of energy, we call this energy electromagnetic radiation.
You can't see most radiation as it is beyond the visible spectrum, infra-red is the most common radiation emmited by hot objects, this is the radiation used to see in the dark by night vision goggles. When objects get very hot like the surface of the sun, they begin to emit higher energy radiation, like visible light, if you've ever seen a glowing hot metal you've seen first hand how a high temperature object can emit visible radiation.
The process howver is very complicated and is still not fully understood but to simply it each particle has an outer shell made of electrons, when these shells of electrons collide they change energy states and release bits of radiation as they change energy states, for a full explanation i would recommend you read about quamtum physics and electron energy states.

What gives heat and light to all the planets?
Nuclear Fusion and Fission from the Suns' core.
What is the word for the definition the layer of the Suns atmosphere that makes light?
Solar flare
Who is the person who invented light?
No one invented light. Light is a natural phenomenon produced by the suns heat energy. If you mean the light BULB then it was Thomas Edison
What is the sun's energy made up of?
the suns energy comes from a hydrogen particle smashing in to another hydrogen particle and creates helium, however during this proses it causes heat and light energy and that is what the suns energy is made of
How come the moon reflects the suns light and things on earth dont reflect the suns light?
The moon reflects the suns light and things on the eart do notreflect it because it is at an angle in which the light does not reach earth. So if the light falls on the earth at night there would be light but because it not reflect it on earth it is dark at night.
What process makes the sun's heat light for kids?
the suns heat makes light the sun heat is orange which gives light
What is the process called that makes the suns heat and light?
Nuclear fusion.
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
Does photosynthesis need the suns heat energy or the suns light energy?
Light energy.
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 is source of suns energy?
The sun crushes hydrogen into helium with its immense gravity. This makes light and heat. This is a nuclear reaction.
How is heat distributed in the surface zone of the zone?
By the SUNS ENERGY. (Which makes it hotter and hotter.)
What gives heat and light to all the planets?
Nuclear Fusion and Fission from the Suns' core.
What is the word for the definition the layer of the Suns atmosphere that makes light?
Solar flare
What makes the earth able to sustain life?
Basically, water and the appropriate distance from the suns heat.
How does the suns energy reach Earth?
Waves of heat and light, called radiation, travel to earth.
What is the light that comes to the Earth from the moon?
The moon makes no real light of its own. It is really like a mirror. It just reflects the suns light.
