Primarily, the sun radiates energy in the form of light. Light waves, or photons, carry the energy away uniformly in all directions. The sun also transfers a miniscule proportion of its energy in other ways. It emits streams and bursts of kinetic energy and electric potential energy when it ejects high speed charged particles into space, commonly called the solar wind and solar flares. The sun also transfers kinetic and thermal energy to its orbiting planets through gravitationally induced tidal friction. Some suns explode following the depletion of all their fuel, resulting in a single, cataclysmic kinetic energy release. In this explosion, the sun releases potential atomic energy captured in the byproducts of a solar lifetime of nuclear fusion. These byproducts, known to us as the elements of the Periodic Table (such as carbon, nitrogen, and oxygen) make up the stuff of other suns, planets, and their inhabitants.

What two types of energy does the sun produce?
Light Energy and Solar Energy are all a part produced by the sun.
What are the three forms of power?
The three forms of energy are: Kinetic energy, Potential energy, and Radiant energy.-Carol
Some forms of energy are sometimes called 'energies in action' and others are called?
Could be 'potential energy' some examples of energy in action would be sun,fire,t.v.,and a speeding rocket. :)
What is the meaing of chemical energy?
Chemical energy is another form of stored or potential energy.It is stored in food,fuels and batteries,and is released as other forms of energy during chemical reactions.Green plants trap the light energy from the Sun and convert it into chemical energy during photosynthesis.Other foems of energy are sometimes converted into chemical energy before they are save for future use.
Does chemical energy travel from the Sun to the Earth and get transformed into light energy by plants?
No. It is actually thermal energy from the sun that is transformed into food/chemical energy.
What is a light that forms ------- that earths receive from the sun?
Energy
Energy from the sun is called solar when captured can be converted into?
Other forms of energy
What energies do you get from the sun?
The energy that the sun gives off are heat and light. Living things on Earth need these forms of energy.
What forms of energy does the sun supply?
The sun supplies different kinds of energy including electricity, heat and power sources
The energy of light and other forms of radiation?
From the Sun. Also from other stars, and from distant galaxies - but we only get significant amounts of energy from our Sun.
What three forms of energy that stars give off?
the sun
What are 3 forms of energy you get from the sun?
Radiation, conduction and convection
What are 2 forms of energy that come from the sun?
light and heat
What the forms of energy?
sun energy , water enegy, wind energy, energy of fossils an energy from food are the different kinds of energy.
How does energy from the sun lead to the formation of a hurricane?
What happens is that the sun's energy forms evaporation. Than, the evaporation moisturizes the hot air.
The energy from the Sun arrives through the process of radiation what forms of energy can be transferred through radiation?
radiant energy
What is the transfer of energy in the forms of waves?
As the ocean's waves absorb or release energy from the sun, the transfer of energy changes.
