Leaves of plants use energy from sunlight to make food. This process
Is called photosynthesis. Animals and people feed on the plants and
Obtain the energy they need. Sunlight also keeps the surface of the
Earth warm and makes it possible for us to exist. In fact, almost
All of the energy we use on earth comes from the sun's rays, and
Almost all of the energy we get from
The sun comes in roundabout ways

The sun's energy has been stored in the past
In the plants and in animal bodies
Time marches on, they are coal, oil, and gas
Energy in roundabout ways
Ancient plants and animals died and were buried under earth and sea
Their fossil remains were changed into coal, oil, and gas. Today
We use these fuels as energy sources for our modern civilization

The energy in moving water and wind
Has been brought into play by the sunlight
Energy from wind and water becomes
Energy in roundabout ways
Sunlight heats the oceans and makes the water evaporate. Later, this
Water falls as rain to form rivers and create water power. Winds are
Also created by the heating of the earth. The energy of wind can push
Sailboats, turn windmills, and operate electric generators on farms
