Space Exploration
A moon, a planet, or machine that orbits a planet or star.
satellite
What are oil, coal, and natural gas.
fossil fuels
Long-term shifts in temperatures and weather patterns.
climate
This layer is where the ozone layer is located and commercial flights travel through.
It is made up of these 2 elements.
hydrogen and helium
Satellites mostly orbit in this layer of the atmosphere.
Exosphere
Formed by decomposed plants.
coal
Short-term changes in the atmosphere (e.g., rain, snow, sunny skies).
weather
This gas makes up 20.9% of our atmosphere?
oxygen gas
The coolest parts of the Sun.
sunspots
Theses satellites travel west to east over the equator. They are important in worldwide communications, television transmission, and weather forecasting.
Geostationary satellites
Carbon dioxide, methane, ozone, and water vapour.
Greenhouse gases.
Hotter temp[eratures dry out vegetation more quickly and thoroughly higher risks of....
wild fires/forest fires
Name 2 greenhouse gases in our atmosphere.
methane, carbon dioxide, nitrous oxide, water vapor, low atmospheric ozone, cfc
You can only see this layer during a solar eclipse.
corona
Polar satellites travel in this direction from pole to pole.
North to south.
Cattle burps and farts release...?
methane
Generating electricity, manufacturing goods and packaging, deforestation, and overconsumption are all causes of...
climate change/global warming
This is the coldest layer and most meteors burn up here.
mesosphere
At 15 000 000 C hydrogen is converted to helium and light is created in the core of the Sun. This process is called?
nuclear fusion
This telescope orbits the Sun and it studies every phase in the history of our Universe.
James Webb Telescope.
Gases in the atmosphere trap heat from the Sun that would otherwise escape into space.
The greenhouse effect
Greenhouse gas emissions can also release harmful gases (e.g., nitrous oxides) that can cause respiratory issues and heart disease. What effect of climate change does this describe?
air pollution
The temperature drops in temperature as you travel higher up. at the top of this layer the temperature drops to -50 C
troposphere
Who discovered sunspots?
Galileo Galilei
