Nearly all energy is derived from the sun, either indirectly or directly, in the form of the form of
heat rays and light rays. Electrical energy is derived from the sun indirectly. It can be derived
from the power of the earth’s surface, by mean of the sun’s heat. This water vapor rises,
condenses on cooling, and falls as rain.
The light and heat energy from coal is also derived indirectly from the sun. Coal was formed by
the pressure of the rocks on vegetation which died millions of years ago. That vegetation grew
with the aid of sunlight, from which carbohydrates were formed, thus converting solar energy
into chemical energy. When coal is burn some of this energy is released.
Energy used to drive car engines is derived from petrol, which is also formed with the indirect
aid of the sun. Plants and animal were pressed under the rocks in the earth. These dead animals
and vegetables remains formed petroleum, from which petrol and oil are now obtained.

and light, no life could exist on earth.

Chocolate is taken from a tree called the cacao tree. This tree grows in equatorial regions,
