light waves from the sun pass through the windows and get trapped in the car. The heat energy then builds up and has no where to go, making the inside much hotter than outside. It can easily get warmer than 100 degrees.

What does it mean forms of energy are interchangeable?

It means that energy can change between different forms. Take for example a car sitting outside during warm and sunny day. The light energy produced by the sun enters through the car's windows and changes into heat energy. When someone enters the car and notices it is warmer in the car than outside the car, the increased temperature inside the car is due to the sun's light energy changing into heat energy.

A car sitting in the sun with windows rolled up can trap heat inside, causing the interior temperature to rise significantly.
