Sunlight does not directly energize electrons to break nitrogen and form ammonia. The process of converting nitrogen into ammonia, known as nitrogen fixation, is achieved through various industrial processes such as the Haber-Bosch process or biological processes occurring in certain microorganisms. In these processes, nitrogen gas (N2) is reacted with hydrogen (H2) under high pressure and temperature, or through enzymatic reactions in bacteria, to produce ammonia (NH3). Sunlight is not directly involved in this process of nitrogen fixation.
