Because almost all processes occurring on the surface of the earth rely on the sun as their ultimate source of energy. The only ones that don't are those that rely on geothermal energy.

Explain Why the sun is major source is energy?

Sun is the source of heat and light energy. It provides energy on earth's surface.


How is the sun an important energy source?

The sun is the most important energy source of all. Without the sun's energy heating the Earth's surface, there would be no potential for life. The sun is continuously radiating energy totaling 400 trillion trillion watts. Earth is ideally positioned in its distance from the sun so that the heat energy from the sun is not overbearingly hot, as on closer planets (Mercury, for example), and not too small to sustain temperatures that are suitable for life. The sun's energy can also be harnessed through the technology of solar cells, which convert the sun's energy (in photons) to usable electricity. Solar energy can power anything from a calculator to cars to entire buildings.


Why is the sun an important source of energy?

Because the sun gives of heat which keeps our muscles warm, which lets us use energy to do stuff. and all the other necesities..


What is the different energy source between the sun and the moon?

The energy of the sun comes from nuclear fusion occurring in the sun's core. The moon does not have an internal energy source. What little energy falls on it comes from the sun.


What is the main source of energy for your sun?

The main source of energy for the Sun is nuclear fusion, where hydrogen atoms are converted into helium, releasing large amounts of energy in the form of light and heat. This process occurs in the Sun's core and powers its brightness and warmth.
