People, animals and plants also use light and heat from the
Sun in many ways. People use heat to dry clothes, fish or
meat, palay, coffee, and other things. People have also found
a way to convert the heat of the Sun into electricity by using
solar panels.
Some animals depend on the heat from the Sun to keep
their body warm. These animals bask themselves in the Sun
to warm themselves. This heat enables their body to function
normally.
Plants need heat from the Sun to live and grow. Seeds only
start to grow when there is warmth from the Sun.
