Production of fossil fuels takes lots of time. The sun provides light energy which, through photosynthesis, is used by plants to grow. After the plant dies (along with millions of other plants) it may be covered up by dirt, rocks etc. The heat and pressure exerted on this material under ground, with no air (oxygen) to allow burning, converts it into fossil fuels.
Fossil fuels store energy from the sun as they are formed by the decomposition of organic matter like plants and animals that received energy from the sun through photosynthesis. This process occurred over millions of years, resulting in the formation of coal, oil, and natural gas.
Fossil fuels and biomass fuels have similar origins. Firewood is an example of a biomass fuel. Fossil fuels are similar to biomass in that their creation also begins with microorganisms and plants using energy from the sun to fix CO2 into carbohydrates but there are several more steps in the creation of fossil fuels.
Fossil fuels are formed on Earth, not on Sun.
Ultimately, all energy only comes from the Sun. This is how the energy is transferred: Sun>plants>animals. Therefore, fossil fuels obtain their energy from plants itself and animals when they've consumed plants.
fossil fuelsI assume you are talking about fossil fuels (coal, oil, natural gas). You can call these buried sunshine since the energy in fossil fuels comes from decaying plants and microorganisms. Those plants and microorganisms got their energy originally from the sun. So all the energy in fossil fuels originally came from the sun.
Yes, the sun plays a crucial role in the formation of fossil fuels indirectly. Solar energy drives photosynthesis in plants, which convert sunlight into chemical energy stored in their biomass. Over millions of years, the remains of these plants and other organic materials are subjected to heat and pressure in geological formations, transforming them into fossil fuels like coal, oil, and natural gas. Thus, while the sun itself doesn't create fossil fuels, its energy is fundamental to the processes that lead to their formation.

not really fossil is made from dead organism

Fossil fuels are formed from organic matter that originally obtained its energy from the sun through photosynthesis. This organic matter stored the sun's energy in the form of chemical bonds, which is released as chemical energy when the fossil fuels are burned. So, the chemical energy in fossil fuels can be traced back to the sun's energy.

It is half the hot of the sun
