Does the sun contain kinetic or potential energy?

Yes. The sun is a big, heavy ball of ultra-compressed (more like crushed under gravity) hydrogen and helium that moves, so it has plenty of kinetic energy. read more

The sun has both active kinetic energy and potential energy. It has massive amounts of high energy mass particles, since it is so hot (high level of vibrations and velocities). It also have a high potential energy contained in the electro-static bound subatomic particles and in the gravitational forces within the sun. read more

Kinetic energy is energy that is activly happening. Potential energy is energy that could happen, but isn't occuring now. Since the Sun emits energy in the forms of heat and light, and is activly doing so now, the sun has kinetic energy. read more
