planet is the first step towards making a positive difference in how humans operate in the world today. Climate changes brought on by global warming pose a serious problem for the world. These climate changes effect the physical structure of the earth and if explained correctly can rapidly change attitudes toward the seriousness of global warming. Let’s begin with the build-up of greenhouse gases. The increase of gases in the earth’s atmosphere has caused the earth’s climate to change rapidly

At one time, according to Sir George H. Darwin, the Moon was very close to the Earth. Then the tides gradually pushed her far away: the tides that the Moon herself causes in the Earth’s waters, where the Earth slowly loses energy. How well I know! – old Qfwfq cried – the rest of you can’t remember, but I can. We had her on top of us all the time, that enormous Moon: when she was full – nights as bright as day, but with the butter-coloured light – it looked as if she were going to crush us;

planet in the Solar System relative to the size of its primary, having 27% the diameter and 60% the density of the Earth, resulting in 1/81 its mass. The Moon is a paradoxical celestial body, raising questions about its composition and origin. Isaac Asimov wrote, there is no astronomical reason why the moon and the sun should fit so well. It is the sheerest of coincidences, and only the Earth among all the planets is ‘blessed’ in this fashion” (Samone 2012). Nobel chemist Dr. Harold Urey suggested the

Living On Another Planet Project Report 1 The earth population is growing faster and faster every single day. To insure that the next coming and upcoming generation has a place to live, we may have to secure a place for them. That’s where the purpose of living on another planet comes in the picture. Probably the most suitable planet is Europa, one of Jupiter's Moons because it does in fact have solid ground, oxygen and liquid. Despite the very thin atmosphere, this is one of the most likely

emissions, the amount of energy coming from the sun, and the properties of the Earth’s surface. These factors have a warming effect on the planet, called global warming which acts like a blanket trapping this solar energy, and gasses close to the Earth. This causes river and lake water levels to be lower in arid areas, and glaciers to melt causing floods. With the temperatures predicted to be up one hundred degrees Fahrenheit worldwide over the next one hundred years, threatening extinction for thousands
