This is a very oversimplified answer.
Ultimately, all of a sun's energy comes from gravity. Due to the shear mass of a star, the gravitational forces in the sun are so strong that, at the center of the sun, atoms are fused together in a process called nuclear fusion. Nuclear fusion itself liberates a huge amount of thermal (heat)and electromagnetic (light) energy, and this energy both heats the sun, making it hotter, and escapes from the sun in the form of sunlight. The sun also discharges some of its particles at very high speed into near and far space, called solar flares and the solar wind.
So, to answer the question, the following types of energy are in the sun:
- Gravitational potential energy;
- Thermonuclear energy;
- Thermal kinetic energy;
- Light energy; and
- Ballistic kinetic energy.

What is the sun and what type of energy do you get from the sun?
the sun is a star, the center of our solar system. we get solar energy from the sun
When plants convert the sun's energy into food, which type of energy does the sun energy become?
chemical energy
What type of energy does a car battery contain?
What type of energy is the sun.
What type of energy is energy from the sun?
nuclear fusion energy
What type of Energy form is Sun?
The hydrogen in the Sun has nuclear energy (a type of potential energy). When this is fused, it is converted to heat energy. This eventually gets radiated out as light energy.
What type of energy do you receive from the sun?
radiant energy
What type of energy does sun emit?
solar energy.
A type of energy that comes from the sun?
Solar Energy.
Why type of energy does the sun send to earth?
Sun sends heat energy to earth.
What type of energy do you use from the sun?
Light energy and heat energy
What type of energy comes from the Sun and includes light and heat?
Radiant energy comes from the sun.
What type of energy gives the sun its energy?
gravity x
