The latter. Corn eaten as a meal, be it corn-on-the-cob or as a side-dish, can only give a person (human) so much energy and nutrients; basically it mostly acts as a gut-filler and not much else. We can get some protein and energy from it, but it doesn't stay in the stomach and get digested as thoroughly as meat does. Energy from meat is released slowly over time as the amino acid enzymes in the stomach break down the meat, giving us a long-term burn of energy to use. Corn or any fruit and vegetable, only acts as a quick-burst of energy, then decreases as soon as it came.
You would get more energy from eating the corn directly. In general, only about 10% of the energy gets passed up the food chain which means that you only get 10% of the energy that was originally contained in the corn by eating the cow that ate the corn.

Eating the cow will give you plenty of protein and other nutrients found in meat that corn does not provide.
explain how earh would be different if it did not receive solar energy
as much as a monster energy would be
In a food chain, energy transfer between trophic levels typically follows the 10% rule, meaning only about 10% of the energy from one level is passed on to the next. If a snake receives 200 calories from eating a rabbit, it would likely utilize some of that energy for its own metabolic processes, leaving around 20 calories available. Therefore, if a hawk then eats the snake, it would receive approximately 20 calories of energy.

First, it is the body that generates the energy needed via eating and drinking. If you stopped eating and drinking then death would result.
Since most of the energy we get from the Sun is the result of nuclear fusion, I guess that would mean that we would receive ALMOST NO energy from the Sun. We WOULD receive some energy as a result of the Sun contracting due to gravity, but that wouldn't last long.

by eating
it would be 20 calories = 10%
