Answer:

The energy from the Sun is vital to life on Earth. Not only does it allow life to exist, but it also is the source of most energy humans use. Biomass, fossil fuels, and some renewable energies such as wind and solar power originate from the Sun. Fossil fuels are simply solar energy stored in a secondary form.[4] 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. The solar energy to the Earth is significant, even after passing through hundreds of kilometers of the Earth's atmosphere. The solar radiation that reaches the Earth has a significant amount of energy. At full intensity, the solar power to the Earth at the surface of the upper atmosphere is about 1367 W/m2.
