Question

In what sense is energy from coal actually solar energy

Answer 1

Explanation:

The energy stored in coal is directly form the sun which is solar energy. This energy are preserved in carbon atoms and they originate from the life processes of a plant.

• Plants carry out photosynthesis and produce their energy by this process.
• Green plants have special adapted structures by which they trap solar energy from the sun and use it to produce their own food.
• The food is used by plant for nutrition and life activities.
• In essence the solar energy is converted to chemical energy in plants.
• To form coal, when plants are rapidly buried their organic matter is preserved from decay by combination with oxygen.
• More burial preserves the complex molecules that have stored during photosynthesis.
• The carbon eventually aggregates for coal.
