The Power of the Sun: A Peek into Solar Energy
Have you ever felt the warm sun on your skin? That's the sun's energy, and did you know it can be turned into electricity? This is called solar energy! The sunlight that reaches us is captured using solar panels. These panels change sunlight into electricity that we can use to power our homes and gadgets.
Solar energy is special because it's renewable, which means it never runs out as long as the sun is shining. It doesn't cause pollution, making it a clean choice. We can use solar energy for many things like heating our water, charging our phones, and even running some cars!
