Answer 1

Light does have energy, but your body can’t really do much with it directly. However, you eat the energy from light all the time. All of the food we eat can be traced back to sunlight. Plants DO have the ability to use sunlight directly to grow. We eat those plants and we also eat animals that are those plants and used that energy to grow.

So basically we all live by eating the sun.
