Is the sun a fossil fuel?
No, the sun is not a fossil fuel. Fossil fuels like coal, oil, and natural gas are formed from the remains of ancient plants and animals over millions of years, whereas the sun is a burning mass of gas primarily made up of hydrogen and helium.
Why can you say that energy from fossil fuel burning energy comes from the sun?
Because the energy comes from free carbon and oxygen that produce heat when they are recombined to form CO2 (carbon dioxide). The fossil fuel contains hydrocarbons that can be burned to produce CO2, water and heat. The fossil fuel material was formed millions of years ago by photosynthesis, when plants took in CO2 and separated the carbon from the oxygen, using the Sun's rays. The carbon was used in the production of tissues for the planets, and the oxygen was released into the atmosphere. So the energy that comes from burning fossil fuels came originally from the Sun by photosynthesis.
How is fossil fuel related to the suns energy?
fossil fuels are the remains of dead plant matter, mostly plankton. Those plants use the sun to preform photosynthis. So the sun in a way grew the materials that the oil and coal we use today are made up of.Read more: What_does_the_sun_have_to_do_with_fossil_fuels
Is helium a fossil fuel?
No, the fossil fuels (coal, oil and natural gas) have been underground for hundreds of millions of years. The only gas that is a fossil fuel, natural gas, is mostly methane (CH4).
Does rockets use fossil fuels?
Most rockets today use liquid oxygen and liquid hydrogen as fuel, not fossil fuels. These fuels react to produce water vapor and can be considered eco-friendly compared to fossil fuels. However, some rockets still use a combination of liquid oxygen and kerosene as fuel, which is a fossil fuel.
How the sun affect fossil fuel?
it dosent
Which fossil fuel is formed over millions of years from sun?
Coal is a fossil fuel formed over millions of years from sun energy trapped in plants through photosynthesis.
Is fossil fuels a resource of inexhaustible solar energy?
Fossil fuel energy is from the sun originally that is true. But they are certainly not inexhaustible.
Why is the sun not a fossil fuel?
Because it cannot be burned. Fossil fuels, by definition, are chemicals which were created by living organisms at an earlier time. The sun condensed out of an interstellar cloud of gas.
Is the sun a fossil fuel?
No, the sun is not a fossil fuel. Fossil fuels like coal, oil, and natural gas are formed from the remains of ancient plants and animals over millions of years, whereas the sun is a burning mass of gas primarily made up of hydrogen and helium.
What natural resources are used to supply energy?
Fossil fuel, the wind, the Sun, hydro and biomass
Is solar a fossil fuel?
No its not a fossil fuel
Did the energy that is stored in fossil fuels come from fission or fusion reactions from the sun?
Not fission. The sun's energy is produced by nuclear fusion, and that energy produced all the vegetation which turned into fossil fuel.
How are non fossil fuels formed?
It depends which non fossil fuel you are referring to.People use food as a fuel source.Electricity can be generated by the sun, wind, hydro power, nuclear, fuel cells. Each are formed in different ways.
Is oil a fossil fuel or a nuclear fuel?
Oil is a fossil fuel.
Is fossil fuel cheap?
Fossil fuel is cheap
Is coal a fossil fuel or a nuclear fuel?
Fossil
