Space exploration is crucial to new discoveries in science‚ that will benefit society. Space exploration has changed the world around us by providing an inside look worlds around us‚ even in our own solar system. The ability to travel through space has given us a new perspective on our solar system‚ by being able to view how nature works outside of our own planet. Earth is a unique planet. So unique that our technology today has not discovered any other planets or satellites that could sustain human

Earth Science is an all-embracing term for the sciences related to the planet Earth. It is arguably a special case in planetary science‚ the Earth being the only known life-bearing planet. There are both reductionist and holistic approaches to Earth sciences. The formal discipline of Earth sciences may include the study of the atmosphere‚ hydrosphere‚ oceans and biosphere‚ as well as the solid earth. Typically‚ Earth scientists will use tools from physics‚ chemistry‚ biology‚ chronology and mathematics

begins to increase with altitude‚ and this trend continues in the thermosphere. Because the atmosphere in the thermosphere is so thin‚ a thermometer cannot be used to measure the temperature accurately and special instruments are needed. The Earth interior is divided into 4 layers. The properties of the Earth’s interior have been inferred primarily from earthquake waves. Distinct characteristics are found within each layer such as density‚ temperature‚ and pressure. OBJECTIVE: In this
