The five ways in which the Sun's energy is used are:

A. It helps us to see things by providing light. B. It is used by plants to make their food. C. It can be used as a source of heat. E. It helps keep the water cycle moving. F. It can be collected and turned into electricity.

Option D (It controls the tides in oceans) is primarily caused by the gravitational pull of the Moon, not the Sun, although the Sun does have some influence on tides. Option G (It turns to oxygen as it travels through the atmosphere) is not an accurate statement regarding the Sun's energy.
