Is sun a fossil fuel?

NO, The sun shines today and hopefully tomorrow and brings warmth and light as it did to the dinosaurs millions of years ago that since has been converted to the crude oil we recover today.


Why can you say that energy from fossil fuel burning energy comes from the sun?

Because the energy comes from free carbon and oxygen that produce heat when they are recombined to form CO2 (carbon dioxide). The fossil fuel contains hydrocarbons that can be burned to produce CO2, water and heat. The fossil fuel material was formed millions of years ago by photosynthesis, when plants took in CO2 and separated the carbon from the oxygen, using the Sun's rays. The carbon was used in the production of tissues for the planets, and the oxygen was released into the atmosphere. So the energy that comes from burning fossil fuels came originally from the Sun by photosynthesis.


How is fossil fuel related to the suns energy?

fossil fuels are the remains of dead plant matter, mostly plankton. Those plants use the sun to preform photosynthis. So the sun in a way grew the materials that the oil and coal we use today are made up of.Read more: What_does_the_sun_have_to_do_with_fossil_fuels


Is helium a fossil fuel?

No, the fossil fuels (coal, oil and natural gas) have been underground for hundreds of millions of years. The only gas that is a fossil fuel, natural gas, is mostly methane (CH4).


Does rockets use fossil fuels?

Most rockets today use liquid oxygen and liquid hydrogen as fuel, not fossil fuels. These fuels react to produce water vapor and can be considered eco-friendly compared to fossil fuels. However, some rockets still use a combination of liquid oxygen and kerosene as fuel, which is a fossil fuel.
