The sun is an excellent example of an energy conversion taking place in the solar system. The atoms of hydrogen and helium in the sun fuse together, resulting in
the release large amounts of energy that is transferred to the earth as sunlight. In this example, which of the following best describes the type of potential to kinetic
energy conversion taking place?
a. Nuclear energy is converted to electrical energy
b. Chemical energy is converted sound energy
c. Chemical energy is converted to thermal energy
d. Nuclear energy is converted to radiant energy
