You can indeed get energy from gravitational contraction. However, theoretical calculations show that this type of energy can in no way power the Sun for 4.6 billions of years - and it is known that Earth, and the Solar System, have approximately that age.

What nuclear reaction combines gas to form helium and produce most of the suns energy?
nuclear fusion
How does water provides energy?
Water its self does not provide energy, however it can store some of the Suns energy, usefully in the form of potential energy (by virtue of its elevation in the gravity field of the planet).
How does the suns energy become your energy?
In the sun is a nuclear fussion energy
Which is caused by suns energy?
weather
The suns energy reaches the earth as what type of energy?
radiant
Plants use the suns energy to produce oxygen and?
Glucose
What process uses carbon dioxide and the suns radiant energy to produce chemical energy?
That is what photosynthesis does.
What are bacteria that can produce their food without using the suns energy called?
Chemoautotrophic
What are two ways protists are like plants?
they trap the suns energy and produce sugars
How does nuclear fusion generate the suns energy?
The Sun energy is from hydrogen fusion.
Why do plants cannot survive without sun's energy?
Plants use the suns energy to make energy in a process called photosynthesis. The suns energy is used to produce glucose which provides the energy that the plants need to survive through processes such as respiration and expiration.
How does the Suns gravity compared to earths gravity?
The sun gravity is stronger
What is the suns source of energy?
The sun crushes hydrogen into helium with its immense gravity. This makes light and heat. This is a nuclear reaction.
How do you get the planet out of the suns orbit?
Find a way to defy gravity by creating negative energy, which is currently not possible with today's technology.
What is source of suns energy?
The sun crushes hydrogen into helium with its immense gravity. This makes light and heat. This is a nuclear reaction.
What nuclear reaction combines gas to form helium and produce most of the suns energy?
nuclear fusion
What does a skin cell typically do?
keep out Bactria and (I think) it helps it produce vitamin D using the suns energy
