Planets
Of the planets of the Solar System this one has the least apparent atmosphere.
What is Mercury?
This type of animal only eats other animals.
What is a carnivore?
This process is largely responsible for producing and maintaining the oxygen content of the Earth's atmosphere.
What is photosynthesis?
Plants need this gas in order to survive.
What is carbon dioxide?
This is a phenomenon in which heat is trapped close to Earth's surface by particular gases in the atmosphere.
What is the greenhouse effect?
This is how long it takes the Earth to complete one orbit around the Sun
What is a year?
Whole Grains, lentils, beans, broccoli, berries, and avocados are all good sources of this.
What is fiber?
This is the process by which a liquid turns into a solid.
What is freezing (solidifying)?
Animals need this gas in order to survive.
What is oxygen?
These absorb infrared radiation and thereby cause the earth's average temperature to rise. Carbon dioxide, methane, and chlorofluorocarbons are examples.
What are greenhouse gases?
This is the point in the orbit of a planet or a comet at which it is farthest from the sun.
What is an aphelion?
Nuts, seeds, dried fruit, legumes (beans, lentils and chickpeas, dark leafy green vegetables, and tofu are all good sources of this.
What is iron?
This is the process by which a liquid becomes a gas.
What is evaporation?
This is the process by which a gas transitions to a liquid.
What is condensation?
The greenhouse gas carbon dioxide is released when these are burned.
What are fossil fuels?
Of the planets in the Solar System, this one has the most prominent system of planetary rings.
What is Saturn?
Milk, cheese, yogurt, winter squash, canned sardines, salmon (with bones), and almonds are all good sources of this.
What is Calcium?
This is the process by which a solid becomes a liquid.
What is melting?
This makes up about 78% of Earth's atmosphere, making it the most element in air.
What is nitrogen?
These remove carbon from the atmosphere, so their loss and destruction causes a significant increase in greenhouse gases.
What are trees? (and other plants).
The only two planets in the Solar System that don’t have natural satellites (moons).
What are Venus and Mercury?
Lean meats, poultry, fish, eggs, dairy products, nuts, legumes, beans, and tofu are all good sources of this.
What is protein?
This is the process by which a substance transitions directly from a solid to a gas.
what is sublimation?
This gas is made up of one carbon atom bonded to four hydrogen atoms (CH4). It is the main constituent of natural gas. And, as a greenhouse gas, it has a significant impact on human-caused climate change.
What is methane?
The melting of the polar ice caps affects climate change because the earth is does less of this.
What is reflect the heat from the sun.
