I would suggest some kind of deliberate maintaiance and deliberate power exchanges are carried out to maintain universal atomic energies, this  is why photons are absorbed by electrons . After ” recharging “and  being in  somewhat of an  invigorated state  the electrons spits out the photon . However,  and nevertheless , some energy exchanges have taken  place for specific reasons,  currently unknown to those who veiw the world in “scientific materialism terms ” The origins of the sun is the Bramhajyoti , the Vedas say , the spiritual light emnating from the effulgent spiritual form of Divinity. His unlimited natural spiritual charisma,  if you like , that is spiritually personified. This devolution of spiritual energies to the universal material energies are the arrangements of Divinity who creates the sureal and responsive universe , atoms , elements and compounds require energy.  Note… the scientific community is clueless as to why .this energy excitement takes place ..

“Photons exchange energies with electrons.
Why Electrons Absorb and Emit PhotonsWave Interaction: An electron bound to an atom exists as a standing wave. Light is an oscillating electromagnetic wave. Resonance Match: When a photon’s energy matches the exact gap between two allowed energy levels, its electric field drives the electron wave to resonate and shift to a higher orbit.Returning to Ground State: Higher energy states are unstable. The electron wave naturally relaxes back to a lower energy state, releasing the extra energy as a newly created photon to balance the field……The Unknown “Why”: Physics describes how this happens using quantum electrodynamics and probability mathematics, but the fundamental reason why space and energy behave with these exact rules remains a deep mystery.”…end of quote ..

Bramha Samita 5.40

yasya prabhā prabhavato jagad-aṇḍa-koṭi-
koṭīṣv aśeṣa-vasudhādi-vibhūti-bhinnam
tad brahma niṣkalam anantam aśeṣa-bhūtaṁ
govindam ādi-puruṣaṁ tam ahaṁ bhajāmi

Translation

“I worship Govinda, the primeval Lord, who is endowed with great power. The glowing effulgence of His transcendental form is the impersonal Brahman, which is absolute, complete, and unlimited and which displays the varieties of countless planets, with their different opulences, in millions and millions of universes.”

Srila AC Bhaktivedanta Swami ” Everything is happening by the supreme desire of Krishna,  this consciousness is Krishna consciousness.
