The energy stored in the sun is primarily in the form of nuclear fusion reactions occurring in its core, which release massive amounts of energy in the form of sunlight. This energy output is measured in watts per square meter at the sun's surface, rather than in degrees.

Where is energy from the sun stored on earth?

Much of the energy is reflected back to space, so it isn't stored at all. Part of the energy is stored short-term or medium-term as heat energy - in whatever gets heated up, directly or indirectly by the sunlight, including the oceans which can store a significant amount of heat. And a relatively small amount is stored by living beings, starting with plants which store it as chemical energy.


Where does the energy stored in wind and waves come from?

The energy stored in wind comes from the sun's uneven heating of the Earth's surface, which causes air to move and create wind. The energy stored in waves comes from the wind transferring its energy to the surface of the water, causing it to move and create waves.


Were is the sun's energy stored?

The sun stores energy in the subatomic particles (mostly hydrogen nuclei) of the plasma that makes it up. As our local star fuses these subatomic particles into helium and heavier nuclei, tremendous energy is liberated in the process. This is the engine by which the sun derives it power, and the term we apply to the process is stellar nucleosynthesis. Later in life, the sun will fuse progressively heavier nuclei together until it is primarily iron, then burn out and die. On earth, the energy of the sun that reaches here is stored as thermal energy in the materials on the earth. (A lot of this is re-radiated back into space at night.) It is also stored as chemical energy in plants. That chemical energy is transferred to animals. To a small degree, it is stored as electrical energy when we use solar (photovoltaic) panels to charge batteries.


When plants convert the sun's energy into food, which type of energy does the sun energy become?

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.


What happens to all the sun's energy that does not get stored in the producers?

The sun's energy that is not stored by producers in photosynthesis is either reflected back into space, absorbed by the atmosphere, or converted into heat. This excess energy contributes to processes such as weather patterns, ocean currents, and the overall climate system.

Where did the energy in the rice originally come from?

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.

How is solar energy stored for later?

Solar energy can be stored for later use through the use of batteries. When the sun is shining and solar panels are producing more energy than is needed, the excess energy is stored in batteries. These batteries can then be used to power homes or buildings when the sun is not shining or during the night.
