This development brings a lot of changes in our life ‚ making our life easier than the past . But this development also brings negative effects to our life . One of the greatest effect that we face now is global warming . Global warming is when the earth heats up (the temperature rises). It happens when greenhouse gases (carbon dioxide‚ water vapor‚ nitrous oxide‚ and methane) trap heat and light from the sun in the earth’s atmosphere‚ which increases the temperature.

The Earth is one of eight major planets and a host of minor planets that circle a fairly average‚ middle-aged‚ main-sequence star. It formed from the accretion of residual material from the gravitational collapse of the solar nebula that produced the Sun. Based on their specific distances from the Sun‚ the planets formed into groups of similar chemical compositions‚ sizes‚ and densities. The four smaller inner planets are of higher density and are composed of a mixture of rock and metal. In contrast

What are the origins of life on Earth? This question has been highly debated by scientists for a long time. Scientists are trying to determine what makes Earth so unique that life thrives here but in no other planets that we are aware of. There are several theories that scientists have proposed in trying to determine the origins of life on Earth. Some theorize that life derived from an extraterrestrial source‚ others believe autotrophs were the source‚ and other groups hypothesizes that heterotrophs
