Key Facts about Types of Energy

It is the movement of tiny particles called electrons and protons. This energy can be seen in nature in a bolt of lightning, which is a large number of electrons flowing through air all at once.

• Electric energy

• Nuclear energy

• Heat energy

This energy is a kind of kinetic energy with the ability to make types of light visible to human eyes.

• Chemical energy

• Sound energy

• Light energy

This energy is stored in the bonds of atoms and molecules. Batteries, biomass, petroleum, natural gas, and coal are examples of this energy.

• Gravitational energy

• Elastic energy

• Chemical energy

It is a type of kinetic energy that is made from the vibration of matter. This energy we can hear. Depending on how the sound moves or the type of vibrations that made it, it can be loud or soft, high or low, or distorted.

• Elastic energy

• Sound energy

• Light energy

This energy is defined as a flow of energy from hot objects to cold objects.

• Heat energy

• Sound energy

• Nuclear energy

This energy is the energy stored in an object due to its height above the Earth (e.g. if it's further away or closer to the ground). It is a form of potential energy.

• Gravitational energy

• Elastic energy

• Nuclear energy

Examples of light energy are:

• Light bulb, sun, candle

• Wood, coal, fuel

• Speaker, clock, television

Examples of heat energy are:

• Sun, fire, heater

• Coil, spring

• Food

Examples of chemical energy are:

• Light bulb, sun, heater

• Speaker, clock, television

• Batteries, coal, natural gas

Examples of sound energy are:

• • a balloon popping,

  • bell dinging on a microwave,

  • a radio blaring,

  • a buzzing bee.

• apple falling from a tree

• wind up clock, coil, spring
