SSC MTS EXAM

Detailed explanation-1: -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-2: -The original energy from the Sun is captured through photosynthesis and stored in chemical bonds as plants grow. This energy is then released millions of years later after these plants have transformed into fossil fuels. All fossil fuels are ultimately energy from sunlight.
