Features: "Give me power!" When Ultraman shouts to the sky, he is already using and receiving energy. In fact, everything from cooking and heating to lighting, exercising, starting cars, running computers, cutting down trees, and maintaining industrial production energy, even getting up in the morning relies on it! Amazing, right? What exactly is energy? Where does it come from? Can we live without energy? Does it have any harm? Does our body also have energy? Oh dear, are you curious about all these questions? Don’t worry, let me tell you slowly. Whether it’s lighting, cooking, or maintaining our body functions; whether it’s starting engines or running computers; whether it’s making simple objects or producing complex instruments, energy is needed. This book aims to tell everyone that energy comes from the sun, water, oil, atoms, plants, coal, and wind, and will also explain the various forms of energy in detail. Some energy can be renewable, while others cannot; excessive extraction can even damage the environment and threaten life on Earth. For tomorrow, do you know how to protect our planet and its resources?
