3. The solstices are days when the Sun reaches its farthest northern and southern
declinations.
4. Equinoxes are days in which day and night are of equal duration.

7. Thermosphere is the layer of very rare air above the mesosphere.

km.
9. Autumn is were the plants begin to grow dormant.

and molecules.
