issue with fan and heat

My Macbook Pro keeps overheating and the fan turns on the first thing I open it. Even if I don’t have many applications open, it still overheats. Is there any way I can stop the overheating? I do my work on a desk so the air space is not a problem.

How do you know it is overheating? Does the computer shut itself down due to overheating? It appears you think it is overheating because the fans come on. It is normal for the fans to run in order to keep the computer at proper temperature.
