How did early scientists think that the sun produces its energy?
Early scientists thought that the sun produced its energy through gravitational contraction, but this theory was later disproven by the discovery of nuclear fusion. Nuclear fusion, a process where hydrogen atoms combine to form helium with the release of energy, is now known to be the main source of the sun's energy.
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.
What is the fuel source of solar energy?
Light generally produced by the sun. It is possible to create solar energy using electric lights, as seen in the episode of James May's Big ideas - Power to the people when he powers a solar power car using only studio lights.
Which of the following would be considered the Sun's fuel?
Mostly hydrogen for a star like our sun in the solar system.
Is the sun the original source of energy for solar fuels?
Yes, the sun is the original source of energy for solar fuels. Solar fuels, such as hydrogen or biofuels, are produced using sunlight through processes like photosynthesis or artificial photosynthesis, where energy from sunlight is used to convert water and carbon dioxide into fuel.
What kind of fuel does the solar car use?
The fuel a solar car uses is energy from the sun converted into electricity using solar cells.
What is one disadvantage for using solar energy for an alternative fuel?
the instrument are costly Only makes power when sun is out.
Is solar energy conservation necessary?
Not sure exactly what you mean. However, whether we use solar energy or not, the Sun will continue shining - and using up its fuel. So, in a way, any solar energy we don't use will be wasted.Not sure exactly what you mean. However, whether we use solar energy or not, the Sun will continue shining - and using up its fuel.

What is feeding energy back to the sun as it continues to radiate energy?
Nothing is. Most of the Sun's energy gets radiated out into space, never to come back. The Sun is using up its energy reserves; it won't last forever. In about 5 billion years it will run out of fuel.
How do solar cars refuel?
Solar cars refuel just by regaining energy from the sun. They use all of that energy to create fuel in order to run. Some solar cars refuel by using wind energy! Solar cars gain energy from the sun or from the wind to store the energy in their fuel tanks and they use up the energy to make fuel that allows them to travel for long distances! Solar cars have no limits on how many times they can regain energy from the sun or from the wind!
How is the production of Star fuel similar to the production of solar energy?
Both the production of Star fuel and solar energy involve harnessing power from natural sources. Star fuel, like solar energy, relies on the energy generated by stars, while solar energy captures the sun's energy using solar panels. Both processes involve converting natural energy sources into usable forms of energy for consumption.
What does solar energy not cause to run out?
Solar energy does run out. The Sun is using up its fuel, all the time. At some moment (oh, in the very, very distant future), the Sun will have no more fuel, and it will stop shining. Long before this happens, it will become unstable, and shine much brighter. In other words, it looks as if our descendants will not die from cold, or lack of food (plants need the Sun's energy), but from heat.Solar energy does run out.

What provides fuel for the Sun's energy?
The Sun releases the energy contained in mass (Energy=Mass*the velocity of light squared) (E=MC2). As a current main sequence star the Sun uses Hydrogen as the source of mass to release this energy. It does so by fusing Hydrogen into Helium in its core.
What living thing can make food using the sun's energy?
Plants can make food using the sun's energy.
What are the two sources of energy that fuel life on earth -?
sun and the atmosphere The sun and volcanic vents
Does all the energy start out as chemical energy?
No, our energy sources started from the sun (nuclear fusion) which made vegetation grow which turned into fossil fuels, or from stellar events which formed uranium. Then there are energy sources like wind, wave, and tidal, that are driven by the sun's energy, and direct solar energy. When we use fossil fuels, we are using a chemical reaction to release the energy contained in the fuel, but the original formation of the fossil fuel was driven by the sun. Energy from uranium is not chemical at all. Hydro power also depends on rainfall as the source of the energy, and that is caused by the sun's effect on the weather.
