dynamically interconnected ‘spheres’
2. The Earth works in a cycles
3. All parts of the Earth system are
constantly changing

Important Things
the Sun Does the
Earth
![Page 22: Earth in Space](https://reader034.vdocuments.us/reader034/viewer/2022051516/55a931e51a28ab2b368b462d/html5/thumbnails/22.jpg)
Oops!
What is SUN first?
![Page 23: Earth in Space](https://reader034.vdocuments.us/reader034/viewer/2022051516/55a931e51a28ab2b368b462d/html5/thumbnails/23.jpg)
Sun?
The star that shines in the sky during day and gives the Earth heat and light
Is such a constant, reliable sight that few of us rarely acknowledge it’s existence
![Page 24: Earth in Space](https://reader034.vdocuments.us/reader034/viewer/2022051516/55a931e51a28ab2b368b462d/html5/thumbnails/24.jpg)
Is one of the primary
reasons that life exist on
Earth
It has hidden benefits that
prove it is a lot more than a
gigantic lamp that lights our
daily activities
![Page 25: Earth in Space](https://reader034.vdocuments.us/reader034/viewer/2022051516/55a931e51a28ab2b368b462d/html5/thumbnails/25.jpg)
Important things sun does
1. Food Energy Through the process of
photosynthesis
Sunlight provides the source of food for all life on Earth
![Page 26: Earth in Space](https://reader034.vdocuments.us/reader034/viewer/2022051516/55a931e51a28ab2b368b462d/html5/thumbnails/26.jpg)
2. Vitamin D
Is absorbed through the skin and
converted to a state that the body can use
Requires only 30 minutes of sunlight a day
to acquire a minimum dose
Is important in the creation and
maintenance of bones
![Page 27: Earth in Space](https://reader034.vdocuments.us/reader034/viewer/2022051516/55a931e51a28ab2b368b462d/html5/thumbnails/27.jpg)
3. Happiness
Studies that show that depression
occurs on people during the
change of seasons
Sunlight stimulates the pineal
gland deep in the brain
![Page 28: Earth in Space](https://reader034.vdocuments.us/reader034/viewer/2022051516/55a931e51a28ab2b368b462d/html5/thumbnails/28.jpg)
4. Warmth Life on planet would not be possible
without it that the sun provides
A combination of the radiant light of the sun creating direct warmth and the atmosphere retaining and distributing that heat allows plants and animals life to live on this planet
![Page 29: Earth in Space](https://reader034.vdocuments.us/reader034/viewer/2022051516/55a931e51a28ab2b368b462d/html5/thumbnails/29.jpg)
5. LightUse it to plant our crops, find
shelter from the predators of the night, and to pursue the things we enjoy most
In short, without the life giving light of the sun, we would be a species lost
In fact, we would not even exist
![Page 30: Earth in Space](https://reader034.vdocuments.us/reader034/viewer/2022051516/55a931e51a28ab2b368b462d/html5/thumbnails/30.jpg)
6. Precipitation If it were not for the sun evaporating
the water off of the bodies of water, we would not have the rain or snow as we know it
Without the sun, there would be droughts and most of the world would be a barren desert
![Page 31: Earth in Space](https://reader034.vdocuments.us/reader034/viewer/2022051516/55a931e51a28ab2b368b462d/html5/thumbnails/31.jpg)
Certainly,
The sun can cause harm. It is the most common source of skin cancer and has been known to prematurely age our skin. Yet these are small price to pay for the enormous benefits of sunlight provides.
![Page 32: Earth in Space](https://reader034.vdocuments.us/reader034/viewer/2022051516/55a931e51a28ab2b368b462d/html5/thumbnails/32.jpg)
Well !
The next time you are
outside pull up your sleeves
to catch some vitamin D,
hug a plant, and look
around at the illuminated
world created by our
multifunctional sun.

The End!!!
Hope you learned
something…
