The sun, an enormous ball of energy, radiates its power onto our little blue planet just waiting for us to harness it. The energy we receive from the sun in just one hour is more than can be used in a whole year. Luckily, we can harness its awesome power, and use it in lieu of more harmful energies that take their toll on our beautiful, vibrant Earth. Eventually these other energy sources will eventually run out.
