The Sun's energy is also stored in the form of potential energy when heat causes evaporation from the oceans which is deposited as rain on mountains. When gathered in reservoirs this water can be run down chutes at high speed to drive turbines, which produces hydroelectric energy for the electric power grid.
Another type of storage of the Sun's energy is via photosynthesis in plants. Carbon dioxide is absorbed from the atmosphere by green plants, and the Sun's energy is used to separate carbon and oxygen atoms from the carbon dioxide. At a later date (sometimes millions of years later) the carbon and oxygen is recombined by burning carbon fuel, sometimes known as fossil fuel. Re-forming the carbon-oxygen atomic bonds releases the stored energy as heat and generates carbon dioxide. This is what happens when coal, oil and gas are used as fuel.
The term used for the process in which radiant energy is converted into potential energy is "photosynthesis." In this process, plants convert sunlight into chemical energy stored in the form of glucose.
Batteries are a form of stored energy. They contain chemical energy that can be converted into electrical energy when needed.
Chemical energy is stored in a flashlight in the form of batteries. When the flashlight is turned on, the chemical energy is converted into electrical energy, which powers the light bulb.
The diagram shows the energy transformations from sunlight to chemical energy in plants through photosynthesis. Sunlight energy is converted to chemical energy through the process of photosynthesis in plants. This chemical energy can then be stored in the form of glucose and used by the plant for growth and other metabolic processes.
Stored energy is typically referred to when energy is accumulated or stored in a form that can be used at a later time. This can include energy stored in batteries, capacitors, or chemical bonds. Stored energy can be converted into useful work when needed.

No, during photosynthesis, energy from sunlight is converted into chemical energy in the form of glucose, not fat. Plants then use this glucose as a source of energy for growth and metabolism. Fat is typically stored in plants as a reserve energy source.
Energy is stored in coal through the process of photosynthesis that occurred millions of years ago. During this process, plants absorbed sunlight and converted it into chemical energy, which is stored in the form of carbon compounds in the coal. When coal is burned, this stored energy is released as heat.
Photosynthesis
One example of electromagnetic energy being converted into chemical energy is photosynthesis in plants. During this process, sunlight (electromagnetic energy) is absorbed by chlorophyll in plant cells and converted into chemical energy in the form of glucose. This chemical energy is then stored and used by the plant for growth and metabolism.
Chemical energy is stored in a flashlight in the form of batteries. When the flashlight is turned on, the chemical energy is converted into electrical energy, which powers the light bulb.

Yes, sunlight contains energy in the form of electromagnetic radiation. This energy is essential for photosynthesis in plants, which converts sunlight into chemical energy. Additionally, sunlight can be converted into electricity using solar panels.
The energy stored in coal that is converted to heat is chemical energy. Of course coal, like any other matter, also has stored nuclear energy.
Chemical energy is stored in a battery. When the battery is connected in a circuit, the chemical energy is converted into electrical energy which can power devices.
