The suns own energy comes from solar energy?

Yes, the sun's energy is produced through nuclear fusion in its core, where hydrogen atoms combine to form helium, releasing a tremendous amount of energy in the process. This energy is then emitted as sunlight and other forms of electromagnetic radiation.


What is the process that transfers the suns energy from particle to particle?

The process that transfers the Sun's energy from particle to particle is called radiation. In this process, energy is transferred in the form of electromagnetic waves, such as light and heat, which travel through the vacuum of space and are absorbed by particles in the Sun's atmosphere and eventually reach Earth.


What process converts the suns energy into sugars?

Photosynthesis is the process that converts the sun's energy into sugars. Plants use sunlight to convert carbon dioxide and water into glucose and oxygen, utilizing chlorophyll and other pigments in their cells to capture and convert the sun's energy.


The suns energy comes from a process called?

The suns energy produces energy through a process called Nuclear Fusion. Fusion is the process where nuclear reactions occur with small nuclei combining to form larger nuclei with excess energy given off in the form of radiation or particle emission. The end result is smaller nuclei are combined to produce larger ones and energy is given off. This process gives off energy only for the smaller nuclei and in the sun, hydrogen is consumed to produce helium as the primary process. But, this is not the only fusion reaction and eventually helium atoms are combined and eventually you get carbon atoms and eventually you get iron atoms through fusion. The details can get complex because there are many nuclear reactions occurring between small nuclei in the sun, but the general process is combining small nuclei until the processes no longer produce enough energy to be favorable. In a star like our sun, the fusion process get interrupted after a long time and various other things happen such as developing into a red giant star. So, for a more specific description of the evolution of stars, there are other answers to other questions.

What energy is the sun made of?

the suns energy comes from a hydrogen particle smashing in to another hydrogen particle and creates helium, however during this proses it causes heat and light energy and that is what the suns energy is made of
