  1. ability
    the quality of having the means or skills to do something
    In physics, energy (from Greek ἐνέργεια - energeia, "activity, operation", from ἐνεργός - energos, "active, working"[1]) is a quantity that is often understood as the ability a physical system has to produce changes on another physical system.[2][3]
  2. active
    characterized by energetic movement
    In physics, energy (from Greek ἐνέργεια - energeia, "activity, operation", from ἐνεργός - energos, "active, working"[1]) is a quantity that is often understood as the ability a physical system has to produce changes on another physical system.[2][3]
  3. atmosphere
    the envelope of gases surrounding any celestial body
