The
ozone
layer
protects life on earth from ultraviolet radiation.
An
asteroid
is a small rocky object orbiting the Sun.
A
planet
is an astronomical body that orbits around a star, such as Earth.
The
sun
is the largest object in our solar system.
The
moon
is a natural satellite that revolves around the earth.
Observation
is the first step of the scientific method, where researchers gather information about a
phenomenon.
Oxygen
is the most abundant gas in the atmosphere, making up about
21
% of its volume.
Nitrogen
makes up approximately 78% of the Earth's atmosphere by volume.
Carbon dioxide
(CO2) is an important greenhouse gas that contributes to global warming.
A
comet
is a celestial body made up of ice, dust, and gas.
A
comet
is an ice-covered celestial body that orbits the sun, leaving behind a trail of gas and dust as it moves through space.
The
moon
is the only natural satellite of the Earth.
A
meteorite
is a solid piece of space debris that enters the atmosphere and falls to Earth's surface.
A
meteorite
is a solid piece of matter that enters Earth's atmosphere at high speed and
burns
up due to friction with air molecules.
Meteors
are streaks of light seen in the sky when a meteorite burns up upon entering the Earth's atmosphere.
Venus is known as the "
morning star
" because it appears brightly in the
morning
sky.
Meteors
are bright streaks of
light
seen in the sky when a meteorite enters Earth's atmosphere.
Hypothesis
is a tentative explanation based on observations.
The
ionosphere
is located between
60-1000
km above the surface of the Earth.
Earth's atmosphere consists mainly of
nitrogen
(78%) and
oxygen
(21%).
Mercury
is named after the Roman messenger god
Mercurius.
The
troposphere
is the lowest part of the atmosphere where weather occurs.
Experiment
involves testing hypotheses
through controlled experiments to determine if they are true.
Nitrogen makes up approximately
78
% of the air we breathe.
Data
refers to facts collected during research.
Carbon dioxide
(
CO2
) is a colorless gas that plays a crucial role in regulating the temperature of the Earth's surface.
Water
vapor
(H20) is also considered a greenhouse gas due to its ability to trap
heat
within the Earth's atmosphere.
Meteoroids
are small objects that enter the Earth's atmosphere at high speeds and burn up due to friction with air molecules.
Methane
(
CH4
) is a potent greenhouse gas with over 30 times more warming potential than carbon dioxide on a per-molecule basis.
Methane
(
CH4
) is a potent greenhouse gas with over 30 times more warming potential than CO2.
The
Sun
is the source of energy for plants, which are then consumed by animals.
The moon has no atmosphere and is covered with craters formed from
meteorite
impacts.
A planet is a celestial body that orbits a
star
and has sufficient mass to be
spherical
in shape.
An
asteroid
is a large
rocky
object orbiting the sun.
Water vapor (H2O) is a naturally occurring greenhouse gas that contributes to
global warming.
Meteors
are small rocks or debris that enter the earth's atmosphere at high speeds and burn up due to
friction.
Comets
are celestial bodies composed mainly of ice, dust, and gases.
Comets are celestial bodies composed mainly of
ice
, dust, and gases that emit a bright
tail
when they approach the Sun.
Asteroids
are small, rocky objects that orbit the Sun and can be found between
Mars
and Jupiter.
Saturn has rings made of
ice particles
orbiting around it.
