We are pretty sure that coal formed from layers of plant matter accumulating at the bottom of a body of water, then being deeply buried under sediment and rock and eventually compressed and transformed by the heat and pressure into coal. The plants that eventually became coal derived their energy from the sun while they were living - just as plants do now - so the sun is the original source of the energy you get from coal.
What else can I help you with?
How is coal fuel connected to the sun?
Coal was formed from plant matter that was covered by mud or silt and subjected to intense heat and pressure over millions of years. The sun is the source of energy for all plants, therefore all of the energy held in coal originated from the sun.
The ultimate source of solar radiation is?
The ultimate source of solar radiation is nuclear fusion that occurs in the core of the sun. This process releases energy in the form of electromagnetic radiation, which includes sunlight.
Why does the energy you get from many of our resources come from the sun?
The energy from the sun drives processes like photosynthesis in plants, which convert sunlight into chemical energy. This energy is then stored in organic matter, such as wood or fossil fuels, which we extract and use for fuel. Ultimately, the sun is the primary source of energy for most energy resources on Earth.
Is coal a form of Solar energy?
Yes, the energy stored in coal came from the sun. Plants using an ingenious process called photosynthesis, use energy from the sun, to take carbon-dioxide from the air, use the carbon and release the oxygen back to the air. After the plant is eaten or dies and is decomposed or burned (the net effect is the same) the oxygen again breaks the chemical bonds, releasing the energy from the sun and liberating the carbon-dioxide back to the air to become the next generation of plants. Coal is carbon from the air and energy from the sun.
Why is the sun the most important source of energy?
The sun is the most important source of energy on Earth because it provides the majority of the energy needed for life through solar radiation. This solar energy is essential for photosynthesis to occur in plants, which is the foundation of the food chain. Additionally, solar energy is harnessed for various renewable energy technologies to generate electricity and heat.
What is the original source of energy for energy recourse such as wind wood oil and coal?
The Sun is the ultimate source of all energy on earth.
How is sun the ultimate source of energy for coal and biomass?
Sunlight fed the plants that produced the material that became both coal & biomass fuels.
Where did the energy come from to create oil?
If we assume that petroleum was created from decaying plants, the ultimate energy source is the Sun's energy.If we assume that petroleum was created from decaying plants, the ultimate energy source is the Sun's energy.If we assume that petroleum was created from decaying plants, the ultimate energy source is the Sun's energy.If we assume that petroleum was created from decaying plants, the ultimate energy source is the Sun's energy.
What is the ultimate source of energy for ecosystems?
The sun is the ultimate source of energy for almost all earth ecosystems.
What is the ultimate source of water cycle?
The ultimate source of the energy driving it is that coming from the Sun.

What is the original source of energy for both coal and wind?
The original source of energy for coal is the sun. Coal is formed over millions of years from the remains of plants and trees that lived and absorbed sunlight. For wind energy, the original source is also the sun, as the sun's heat causes air to move, creating wind that can be harnessed for power generation.
What is the ultimate source of energy for all living thing?
the sun
What is the ultimate source of energy flowing into the ecosystem?
the sun
What is the ultimate and significant source of energy for an ecosystem?
The sun.
