Explanation:
Detailed explanation-1: -Yes, the Sun produces a lot of radiant energy, which is transmitted to Earth as light.
Detailed explanation-2: -Solar energy is created by nuclear fusion that takes place in the sun. Fusion occurs when protons of hydrogen atoms violently collide in the sun’s core and fuse to create a helium atom. This process, known as a PP (proton-proton) chain reaction, emits an enormous amount of energy.
Detailed explanation-3: -Sunlight has kinetic energy because light waves are constantly in motion and can be absorbed.
Detailed explanation-4: -Remember that the Sun provides two types of energy: Heat and Light.
