What were some early uses of wind energy?
Early Egyptians used wind to sail ships on the Nile River. People also used windmills to grind wheat, pump water, and run sawmills.
Why is wind energy considered clean energy?
Wind energy is clean because wind turbines do not burn fuel and do not pollute the air.
How often do most wind turbines operate?
Most wind turbines run between 65 and 90 percent of the time.
Do wind turbines run all the time? Why or why not?

Where are good places to build wind turbines?
Good places include areas near water, flat land, mountain passes, and offshore in the ocean.
Why is wind energy free?
Wind energy is free because no one owns the sun or the air.
Why is wind energy considered renewable?
Wind energy is renewable because as long as the sun shines, wind will continue to form.

How do light-colored surfaces affect sunlight?
Light-colored surfaces reflect more sunlight back into the air.
Why does the Earth near the Equator get warmer than the poles?
The Equator receives more of the sun’s energy than the North and South Poles.
