The sun is the main source of energy of life on earth. Supose your friend disagres with this statement & says.

Question

That he doesnt depend on the sun for energy. How would I explain to him why he is wrong?

Answer 1

Eating anything, like greens, or meats, both have grown with the help of solar energy. animals live by eating plants. plants, are autotrophs, and hence, prepare their own food. mines are obtained, which one time were organisms, ondecaying and decomposing, after millions of years, they take the form of mines. Wood is inturn obtained a tree which is a autotrophs. the oxygen he breathes come from plants, plants live by manufacture of food, food manufacture by photosynthesis. so this is interrelated.

Answer 2

If he doesn't know that, he's just stupid. don't bother explaining. If you still want to, explain that 1. plants depend on the sun for photosynthesis, which creates oxygen , which is necessary for breathing and all fuel burning and 2. the sun is the source of heating of the planet, no sun = temperatures where no living creature can live, especially when there will be no oxygen, which is necessary in order to use the fuel.

Answer 3

I agree with the first answerer. If he eats planets then he depends on the Sun for Emery. Even if he only eats meteors. But in order to eat a meteor he has to catch it before it lands and eat it quickly.
Meteorites are easier to eat cause they have already landed and have had a chance to cool.

Give your friend our best regards and let us know how it goes. I myself must rely totally on energy from the Sun. Radioactive decay would not provide enough energy for my needs.

Answer 4

Does he eat planets? They rely on the Sun for energy. Does he use gas in his car or to fly places? That's fossil fuel produced by plants that used the Sun for energy.

Answer 5

How about explaining our need for vitamin D, which we get from the sun. Every race has a differrent amount of melanoma in their skin, this is one way we have adapted to our environment. Historically, ppl from the north were whiter so their skin would absorb more sun in the darker northern climate. Meditteranean ppl have darker skin which repels more sun, because they are exposed to so much each day. Etc. Etc. We are biologically programmed to absorb sun, in other words!

Answer 6

The sun provides life to all the plants on the surface.But when you go to deeper parts of the ocean like the abyssal plain the animals there rely on heat vents.

Answer 7

Ask your friend if he eats. When he says yes, ask him if he eats plants. The plants get their energy from the sun. If he eats only animals, well, those animals eat plants, so your friend gets his energy from the sun.

Answer 8

What does your friend use for energy?
Food? Where did the food get it's energy to grow?

Answer 9

Describe the food chain that he is part of. Where does the energy in his corn flakes come from?

Answer 10

say he depends on it indirectly then. he eats food. the plants he eats live off of photosynthesis, which requires sunlight. animals eat this food. then we eat the animals and plants. just a very simple explaination...
