Mangroves obtain energy from the sun through the process of photosynthesis. Photosynthesis is the process by which plants convert sunlight, carbon dioxide, and water into glucose (a form of sugar) and oxygen. The amount of energy mangroves receive from the sun can vary depending on various factors such as the intensity and duration of sunlight, geographical location, and environmental conditions. However, on average, mangroves receive a significant amount of solar energy to support their growth and survival.
