Let us think if the conversion of the energy does not happen, what affect willl it have on the life of the earth?

I think that life could not be possilble because then plants could not convert light & heat energy of Sun into chemical energy. Thus, no food for the whole living world.

What's your view?

I feel that you suffer from a gross misconception about energy, dear Mohit. I would suggest that you read the article about energy on wikipedia.

Energy is not converted, it can only be transformed. There is a very subtle difference between conversion and transformation.

Re: Energy

The word conversion is generally limited to substances, or persons in the context of religious faith, for instance an element is converted by virtue of a nuclear decay or a Hindu is converted into a christian. Energy is not a substance, it is a concept. Hence the word transformation is much more appropriate.

You may check a dictionary or visit the site Word seek. !
