What converts light from the sun into thermal energy and distributes the heat using pumps and fans?
Sunlight reaching the earth along various electromagnetic wavelengths is converted to different wavelengths by refraction as it passes through or is absorbed by different materials when it reaches the Earth. Some of these different wavelengths are absorbed into materials as heat and some are reflected away producing no heat, but providing visible colors, or as invisible (to us) EM energy.
Resistance always produces heat, absorption of EM energy, or reflection of that energy is a function of resistance of an object to the passage of the wave energy. The greater the resistance the more opaque the object appears, and the more energy is absorbed as heat.

What converts light from the sun into thermal energy?
When sunlight hits an object, the object absorbs some of that light energy and converts it into heat energy through a process called thermal conduction. The absorbed light energy causes the atoms in the object to vibrate more, increasing the object's temperature.
What energy does an electric heater fire converts to?
An electric fire converts electrical energy into electromagnetic energy. In the form of heat and light.
What types of energy are in a light globe?
A light globe typically converts electrical energy into light and heat energy. The electrical energy powers the light bulb which produces both light (radiant energy) and heat (thermal energy) when it is illuminated.
When a paper is burned what type of energy is that and where does it come from?
Burning paper converts the chemical energy stored in the paper into thermal energy (heat) and light energy. This energy comes from the chemical bonds within the paper breaking down and releasing energy in the form of heat and light as the paper combusts.
What is the energy conversion of a firecracker?
A firecracker converts chemical energy stored in its gunpowder into thermal and light energy when ignited. The combustion reaction in the gunpowder produces heat and light, resulting in the explosive effect of a firecracker.
Is a light bulb a mechanical energy?
No. It converts electrical energy into light and thermal energy only.

A dynamite explosion converts chemical energy into?
thermal enery cause it produces heat *and light and sound
A process that converts chemical energy to thermal energy?
Combustion is a process that converts chemical energy from a fuel into thermal energy in the form of heat and light. Through the reaction between a fuel and an oxidizing agent, such as oxygen, heat is generated, resulting in the release of thermal energy. This process is commonly used in engines, heaters, and other heat-producing systems.
Examples of conversion from chemical energy to thermal energy?
Burning wood in a fireplace converts the chemical energy stored in the wood into thermal energy in the form of heat and light. When gasoline is burned in a car engine, the chemical energy in the gasoline is converted into thermal energy, powering the vehicle.
What process converts chemical energy to light energy?
photosynthesis converts light energy into chemical energy (ATP)

A firecracker converts chemical energy stored in its gunpowder into thermal and light energy when ignited. The combustion reaction in the gunpowder produces heat and light, resulting in the explosive effect of a firecracker.
A dynamite explosion converts chemical energy to?
Mechanical energy (Blast waves) and thermal energy (Heat)
A bulb in a lamp converts electric energy into?
A bulb in a lamp converts electric energy into light and heat energy.
