I guess you could say that humans get their energy indirectly through food nutrients. Food, of all sorts, contain calories, calories are energy. Humans need protein, fat and carbohydrates to live, not to mention water.

It is a known fact that a human can live only 5 days without water, but can live up to 30 days without solid food.

How is the energy from the sun passed to humans?

Energy from the sun is captured by plants through photosynthesis. When humans consume plant-based foods, they obtain the energy stored in those plants. By eating a balanced diet, humans can indirectly harness the sun's energy for their own use through the food chain.


How does energy from the sun get used by human bodies?

Energy from the sun is eventually used by humans when we eat the carbohydrates that plants make when they use the sun's energy to synthesize carbohydrates from water and carbon dioxide, or when we eat the flesh of animals who eat the carbohydrates from plants, or if we eat the flesh of animals who eat other animals who eat carbohydrates from plants.


What are the type of energy we get directly from the sun?
