Anything capable of speeding up molecules will produce heat -
Thus ALL other forms of energy can produce heat.
Two useful forms of energy that come from the sun are solar thermal energy, which is used to produce heat, and solar photovoltaic energy, which is used to generate electricity through solar panels.
Two forms of energy that come from the sun are solar thermal energy, which is used for heating water or generating electricity through concentrated solar power systems, and solar photovoltaic energy, which converts sunlight directly into electricity using solar panels.
Energy can come in various forms, including kinetic energy (energy of motion), potential energy (stored energy), thermal energy (heat energy), chemical energy (energy stored in bonds between atoms), electrical energy (energy from moving electrons), and nuclear energy (energy released from atomic nuclei).
Oh come on, open your book and read it! I will give a hint, however, there are conductors and insulators. One does not pass thermal energy easily, and the other does.
Mechanical energy does not come directly from light and heat. Light and heat are forms of energy, but they do not typically convert into mechanical energy. Mechanical energy is typically associated with the motion or position of an object.

Thermal energy comes from sun. It is a source of heat energy.

Thermal energy is useful energy. However, thermal energy is usually just heat, and not very hot heat at that. And heat, unless hot enough to boil water is a bit difficult to move and to convert into other kinds of energy. You can't run an electric motor directly off thermal energy for instance. But if you live somewhere where homes needs to be heated as opposed to cooled then thermal energy most certainly can come in handy.
Thermal energy comes from the internal vibrations and movements of atoms and molecules within a substance. When these particles are heated, they gain kinetic energy, causing them to move faster and creating thermal energy in the process.
The thermal energy comes from friction between the firefighter's clothing or gear and the pole as they slide down. This friction generates heat, which is a form of thermal energy.
gives us energy (light)
This is thermal radiation of the Sun.
When matter changes state, thermal energy is either absorbed or released. For example, when a solid melts to become a liquid, thermal energy is added to break the bonds holding the solid structure together. On the other hand, when a gas condenses to become a liquid, thermal energy is released as the gas molecules slow down and come closer together.
