Imagine you're on a cosmic journey with Luna and Noah, exploring how energy travels from the Sun's surface to Earth. How does this energy make its way to our planet?

• Energy travels through conduction.

• Energy is transported by wind currents.

• Energy moves via gravitational pull.

• Energy travels from the Sun to Earth in the form of wavelengths.

Olivia and Luna are having a fun debate about space trivia. Can you help them settle this one? How long does it take for sunlight to reach the Earth after it leaves the Sun?

• 8 hours

• 8 minutes

• 8 seconds

• 8 years

Imagine you're on a space adventure with Mason, Avery, and Zoe! Some energy is absorbed by the upper atmosphere. What happens to the remaining energy?

• The energy is converted into heat and stored in the atmosphere.

• The remaining energy is absorbed by the Earth's surface.

• All energy is absorbed by the ozone layer.

• The energy is used to power satellites in orbit.

Isla and Aiden are having a debate: Does Earth's surface mostly heat the atmosphere? What do you think?

• The atmosphere heats the Earth's surface

• True

• Only the oceans heat the atmosphere

• False

Charlotte and Noah are on a mission to save the planet! They need to identify the special gases that trap energy in our atmosphere and keep Earth warm. Can you help them by choosing the right answer?

• Greenhouse gases

• Carbon monoxide

• Ozone layer

• Nitrogen oxides

Ava, Grace, and Isla are on a mission to understand why keeping energy in the atmosphere is crucial. Can you help them figure it out?

• Is it to deplete natural resources more quickly, so they can finish their science project faster?

• Or maybe it's to create more extreme weather events, making their adventure more thrilling?

• Could it be to increase pollution levels, giving them a reason to wear cool gas masks?

• Or is it to regulate climate, support life, and drive weather patterns, ensuring a balanced and thriving planet for their future adventures?

What does the ozone layer do?

• The ozone layer generates oxygen for breathing.
• The ozone layer protects life on Earth by absorbing harmful UV radiation.
• The ozone layer provides nutrients to plants.
• The ozone layer increases global warming.

Who and what led to the depletion of the ozone?

• Chlorofluorocarbons (CFCs) released by human activities.
• Carbon dioxide from industrial processes.
• Volcanic eruptions releasing sulfur dioxide.
• Nitrogen oxides from vehicle emissions.
