The two main kinds of energy that come from the sun are light energy (solar energy) and heat energy (thermal energy). Solar panels can convert the light energy into electricity, while the heat energy contributes to warming the Earth and driving various weather patterns.

What kinds of fuels do a solar powered car use?

1) energy 2) Solar powered cars take there energy from the sun, and store this energy as electricity, in batteries to power the car. 3) I agree with both 1 & 2 above. Fuels implies of fossil origin and liquid, gas or solid form; the better term is energy. Solar power is electrical energy which is first light energy from the sun and becomes electrical energy when converted within a photovoltaic cell or bank(s) of such cells.

How does the amount of energy produced by the sun compare with the amount energy that reaches earth from the sun?

If we assume that the sun emits energy at the same rate in all directions, then the ratio is(4 pi) (distance to the sun)2 / (pi) (earth radius)2 = 2,162,250,000 times as much,or about 93 dB more.
