Do you know something about space? Well, space is made of a low density of particles, predominantly a plasma of hydrogen and helium, as well as electromagnetic radiation, magnetic fields, neutrinos, dust, and cosmic rays. Overall, it’s just made of forms of matter. Space has many galaxies, planets, stars and asteroids. What galaxy we know most is the Milky Way, and the planets we know most are Mercury, Venus, Earth, Mars, Jupiter, Saturn, Uranus and Neptune. Now, let me lead you to know more about space and mainly Earth.
First, we need to learn about our home planet- Earth. Earth is the third planet from the Sun and the fifth largest planet in the solar system in terms of size and mass. Its near-surface environments are the only places in the universe known to harbor life. It’s not too cold and not too hot. It has the right temperature to harbor life and let life stay. Earth formed when the solar system settled into its current layout about 4.5 billion years ago, Earth formed when gravity pulled swirling gas and dust in to become the third planet from the Sun. Like its fellow terrestrial planets, Earth has a central core, a rocky mantle, and a solid crust. It was really like other planets, but its fulfilling resources allowed it to port life.
The top three biggest problems with Earth now are climate change, global warming and deforestation. Climate change can cause Earth to turn into a red fiery ball, and have more frequent and intense drought, storms, heat waves, rising sea levels, melting glaciers and warming oceans. Only one small problem can connect to a huge chain of big problems. Deforestation can cause desertification, soil erosion, fewer crops, flooding, increased greenhouse gasses in the atmosphere, and a host of problems for indigenous people. Global warming can cause a rise in sea level, leading to the loss of coastal land, a change in precipitation patterns, increased risks of droughts and floods, and threats to biodiversity. Therefore, scientists want to move out of the Earth because of these big problems. But, it doesn’t mean that there are just these three problems. There are still many more problems on Earth that I haven’t mentioned.
We need to solve Earth’s problem by protecting it, so it can live longer and humans can survive longer. We can stop climate change by doing this: Change the light. Replacing one regular light bulb with a compact fluorescent light bulb will save 150 pounds of carbon dioxide a year. We can stop global warming by doing this: Lower your heating bill because electricity is one of the biggest causes of greenhouse gas emissions, so lowering your heating bills is the most impactful way to reduce your electricity consumption. We can stop deforestation by doing this: Protecting forested areas by creating laws and policies that ensure forests are kept protected and restored and betting on land practices such as wildlife corridors. So, by taking these steps, we can let Earth live longer.
In conclusion, we should all work together to protect our planet. Earth is our only home, and we rely on Earth’s resources to help us survive. Just like humans are unique, planets are also unique. There is no planet like Earth to provide us with so many resources for us to survive, so we need to cherish our life now and live a happy and joyful life. In order to do that, we must work together to do the best we can to protect Earth, and try to not let Earth have any big problems.
