Is kerosene lamp a renewable or nonrenewable source of energy?

A kerosene lamp is considered a nonrenewable source of energy because it relies on kerosene, which is derived from fossil fuels. Fossil fuels are formed over millions of years and are finite resources, meaning they cannot be replenished on a human timescale. As such, using kerosene for lighting contributes to the depletion of these nonrenewable energy sources.

What is meant by a renewable source of energy?

Renewable source of energy means that this source is not exhaustible by its use in producing electricity or heat (steam) or mechanical energy. An example is solar energy. Using sunlight to produce electricity through special devices, called photoelectric cells, will not exhaust sunlight coming to earth. Fossil fuels like oil, gas, and coal are examples of nonrenewable sources of energy as they are exhausted by their use.
