What does Sauron consume for sustenance in his spirit form after his defeat from the destruction of the One Ring?

In all of Middle-Earth, who was the strongest known Vala, Maia, Istar, great eagle, elf, man, dwarf, Nazgûl, Hobbit, goblin, and orc?

Forgot Ents. Shouldn't have been so hasty 🙃

Maybe his afterlife isn't so bad, then 😜

More trifling silliness (and cringe-worthy grammar, though I allow for the possibility of the OP not being a native speaker):

Why does the One Ring in Lord of the Rings movie franchise has a gold-alike colour when it is supposed to be made using dark magic powers instead of being made by humans goldsmiths? Why didn't they choose some other colour to emphasize on that?

In Lord Of The Rings, what would happen if Gandalf had brought Gollum to Gondor and questioned him in the presence of Denethor about the One Ring and Sauron's plan instead of doing it in Mirkwood Forest?

Gollum would have offerred his services to Denethor and Denethor would have sworn him to fealty.

Can the One Ring only be destroyed in Mount Doom? Gandalf said some dragon fires could destroy it and if it's the issue of temperature, it's a big wide world. I'm sure there are other active volcanoes that should be hot enough to melt the One Ring?

No, but there are plenty of questions stupid and annoying enough to melt my brain.

How 'bout we just throw some cold water on you and your idea and melt you?

The light side also has Túna. The hill in Valinor, that is.

Why didn’t Frodo run back to the fellowship after Boromir attempted to take the ring?

I guess this is a movie-inspired question, since the book has Frodo state out loud why he is leaving, but doesn't even the movie make this somewhat clear with the inserted Aragorn scene? Some of these questions are just complete head scratchers.

Many of them seem to be.

These questions seem to come in bunches (though this question is over two years old):

Why did not Manwe walk with the One Ring, straight through Morannon, to drop it in Mount Doom? It seems unlikely the servants of Sauron would have resisted him, hence, no large-scale destruction.
