Explanation

• The Sun is the ultimate and main source of energy on Earth.
• It provides energy through solar radiation (light and heat).
• All forms of energy on Earth directly or indirectly come from the Sun.
• It supports life, climate, and ecosystems on Earth.

This energy is then converted into various forms, such as:

• Thermal energy (heat)
• Kinetic energy (wind, water currents)
• Electrical energy (generated from solar panels)
• Chemical energy (fossil fuels, biomass)
• Biological energy (food chains, ecosystems)
