Detailed explanation-1: -Hence Coal, petroleum, and natural gas are fossil fuels but sunlight is not a fossil fuel.
Detailed explanation-2: -FOSSIL FUELS FORM. After millions of years underground, the compounds that make up plankton and plants turn into fossil fuels. Plankton decomposes into natural gas and oil, while plants become coal. Today, humans extract these resources through coal mining and the drilling of oil and gas wells on land and offshore.
