"Energy is the quantitative property that is transferred to a body or to a physical system, recognizable in the performance of work and in the form of heat and light."
The capacity to do work. This topic covers the different forms of energy, including kinetic, potential, thermal, electrical, and chemical energy, as well as the laws of thermodynamics that govern the behavior of energy.
Thermal Energy: The energy that comes from the movement of particles and the temperature of matter.
Kinetic Energy: Energy associated with motion.
Potential Energy: Energy associated with an object's position or state.
Chemical Energy: Energy stored within molecular bonds.
Nuclear Energy: Energy stored within atomic nuclei.
Electric Energy: Energy associated with the flow of electric charges.
Radiant Energy: Energy from electromagnetic waves.
Renewable Energy: Sources of energy that can be replenished naturally in a short period of time.
Non-renewable Energy: Sources of energy that cannot be replenished in a short period of time.
Fossil Fuels: Non-renewable energy sources derived from organic matter such as coal, oil and gas.
Biomass Energy: Energy derived from organic matter such as plants and crops.
Hydro Energy: Energy derived from water sources such as dams or hydroelectric power plants.
Wind Energy: Energy derived from wind turbines.
Solar Energy: Energy derived from the sun through photovoltaic cells.
Geothermal Energy: Energy derived from heat within the earth's crust.
Energy Conservation: Efforts to reduce energy consumption and increase energy efficiency.
Energy Efficiency: The use of technology and practices to decrease energy consumption while maintaining the same level of output.
Greenhouse Gases: Gases that trap heat within the atmosphere leading to global warming and climate change.
Carbon Footprint: The amount of carbon dioxide and other greenhouse gases released into the atmosphere as a result of human activities.
Energy Storage: Technologies used to store energy for later use.
Kinetic Energy: The energy that an object possesses due to its motion.
Potential Energy: The energy that an object possesses due to its position or state.
Thermal Energy: The energy that is produced by the motion of particles in matter.
Radiant Energy: The energy that is transmitted through electromagnetic waves such as light, X-rays, and radio waves.
Nuclear Energy: The energy that is released by the fusion or fission of atomic nuclei.
Gravitational Energy: The energy that an object possesses due to its position in a gravitational field.
Chemical Energy: The energy that is stored in the chemical bonds of molecules and is released when these bonds are broken.
Electrical Energy: The energy that is produced by the flow of electrons through a conductor.
Elastic Energy: The energy that is stored in a compressed or stretched object and is released when the object returns to its original state.
Sound Energy: The energy that is produced by the vibration of matter and is transmitted through a medium such as air or water.
"The law of conservation of energy states that energy can be converted in form, but not created or destroyed."
"The unit of measurement for energy in the International System of Units (SI) is the joule (J)."
"Common forms of energy include the kinetic energy of a moving object, the potential energy stored by an object, the elastic energy stored in a solid object, chemical energy associated with chemical reactions, the radiant energy carried by electromagnetic radiation, and the internal energy contained within a thermodynamic system."
"All living organisms constantly take in and release energy."
"Any object that has mass when stationary (called rest mass) also has an equivalent amount of energy whose form is called rest energy."
"Any additional energy (of any form) acquired by the object above that rest energy will increase the object's total mass just as it increases its total energy."
"Human civilization requires energy to function, which it gets from energy resources such as fossil fuels, nuclear fuel, or renewable energy."
"The Earth's climate and ecosystems processes are driven by the energy the planet receives from the Sun."
"A small amount [of energy] is also contributed by geothermal energy."
"Energy (from Ancient Greek ἐνέργεια (enérgeia) 'activity')"
"Energy is recognizable in the performance of work and in the form of heat and light."
"Energy can be converted in form, but not created or destroyed."
"The potential energy stored by an object (for instance due to its position in a field), the elastic energy stored in a solid object, chemical energy associated with chemical reactions, and the internal energy contained within a thermodynamic system."

"The unit of measurement for energy in the International System of Units (SI) is the joule (J)."
"Any additional energy acquired by the object above that rest energy will increase the object's total mass just as it increases its total energy."
"The energy the planet receives from the Sun" contributes significantly, whereas "a small amount is also contributed by geothermal energy."
