Why does the fan immediately come on when I start my MacBook Air, even if it's been shutdown for more than 18 hours?

Why does the fan immediately come on when I start my MacBook Air, even if it's been shutdown for more than 18 hours? The fan stays on; it does not turn off. I tried restarting it and shutting it down, again; but the fan is still there. Why?

MacBook Air 13″, macOS 10.15

Thank you, "neuroanatomist," for taking time to respond; I appreciate it. At first glance, I did not find anything using too much power, but I honestly did not know what all those numbers meant/mean.


Based on your given steps, I searched apple.support.com for "Activity Monitor." There is a guide! I am going to go through the guide and then go back to the Activity Monitor.


Thanks again!
