One way is the sun powers the photochemical reaction in plants called photosynthesis, where plants use sunlight to produce organic material. When we eat the plant, or when we eat an animal that has eaten the plant, our bodies use the nutrients to produce energy.
solar energy → potential energy stored in electrons and ATP → chemical energy stored in sugars
The energy in rice originally comes from the sun. Through the process of photosynthesis, rice plants convert sunlight into chemical energy stored in the form of carbohydrates like starch. When we eat rice, we are essentially consuming that stored energy.
Organic compounds that store the sun's energy include carbohydrates such as glucose, which is produced in plants through photosynthesis. Glucose serves as a primary source of stored energy for both plants and animals.
The process in plant cells that converts energy from the sun into energy stored in food is called photosynthesis. During this process, chlorophyll in the chloroplasts captures sunlight and uses it to convert carbon dioxide and water into glucose and oxygen. This stored energy in the form of glucose can then be utilized by the plant for growth, reproduction, and metabolic activities.
Plants use the sun's energy to make sugar. During photosynthesis, chemical energy is stored in the fruits, grains, and vegetables made by the sun's energy. Chemical energy in this case is a food made by the sun. In this whole process, light energy is being converted into chemical energy.
The energy that is produced from the sun is stored in plants.
The energy stored in water vapor is generally called latent heat.
The sun's energy is converted into chemical energy during photosynthesis, which is stored in the form of glucose molecules. This chemical energy is then used by the plant for growth and vital functions.

Stored sunlight; the Sun is our only source :(
The sun's energy is harnessed by plants through photosynthesis, converting it into chemical energy in the form of sugars. When you eat plant-based foods or animals that have consumed plants, you obtain the stored solar energy, which your body then metabolizes to fuel your cells and provide you with energy.
