All our energy for useful work comes from the sun. The energy of falling water turns many of our machines. The water was first raised to the clouds as vapour by the sun's heat and then dropped as rain. Green plants use the energy that comes to them in sunlight to make food. Almost all other living things depend on green plants for food. Coal, oil, and natural gas were formed from the remains of plants and animals of long ago. In these fuels the energy of sunlight has been stored for millions of years. Scientists are now experimenting with using the sun's energy directly in solar furnaces.
Where does the sun's energy come from? Deep in its centre hydrogen atoms are constantly joining to heavier elements. Energy is constantly being produced in the process.
The spinning of the earth makes the sun rise and set, and seem to move westward in the sky. The people of long ago thought that the earth stood still and that the sun moved around it. Many of them believed that each day the sun god drove the golden chariot of the sun across the sky.
