Mostly anything. Plants, humans, and animals are just a few of the examples.
Chemical energy
for history please visit http://www.dbksolar.com/ It gives the history, i found it interesting myself.
the distance away from the equator (further away = less of the suns energy), and also the amount of cloud and type of cloud in that location (more cloud reflects more of the suns energy away from that location).
It's thermal energy my dear.
the answer is conduction
No it is not.
Neither, they ARE energy.
the suns energy is absorbed by the leaf to make food. this is called photosynthesis :)
absorbed
Absorbed
45%
Less than 1% of the Sun's energy is absorbed by Earth's geosphere. The majority of the Sun's energy is absorbed by the atmosphere and surface of the Earth.
Roughly 70% of the sun's energy is absorbed by the Earth's surface. The rest is reflected back into space or absorbed by the atmosphere.
Roughly 70% of the sun's energy is absorbed by the Earth's surface, with about 51% absorbed by the land and 19% absorbed by the oceans. The absorbed energy is crucial for driving various Earth processes such as weather patterns and the water cycle.
About 17% of the suns rays get absorbed into our atmosphere
If layers of gas around the earth absorbed all of the suns energy, the climate would generally be much cooler. If the gasses trapped the sunlight prior to exposure, the energy of the sun would never penetrate to the ground surface.
