The Sun is a Star

The Sun is a star located at the center of our solar system, and it is the closest star to
Earth. It is estimated to be about 4.6 billion years old and has a diameter of
approximately 1.39 million kilometers. The Sun's size is so massive that it takes up
almost 99.86% of the mass of the entire solar system. It is also incredibly hot, with
temperatures reaching up to 15 million degrees Celsius at its core.
The Sun provides us with light and heat, which are essential for sustaining life on
Earth. It is the reason why we have day and night, and the main source of energy for
all living things. Without the Sun, life as we know it would not exist.

Oxygen: The Gas


We Cannot Live Without
Oxygen is a gas that makes up about 21 percent of the Earth's atmosphere. It is
essential for human life because it allows our cells to produce energy, which our
bodies need to function correctly. Without oxygen, our bodies would not be able to
carry out vital functions, and we would die within minutes.
When we breathe, oxygen enters our lungs and is transported to our cells through our
bloodstream. Our bodies use the oxygen to break down glucose and other nutrients,
which release energy that powers our cells. In addition to being essential for human
life, oxygen is also necessary for the survival of many other living organisms, including
animals, plants, and bacteria.

Water: Planet's Essential Element


Water makes up a significant amount of the Earth's surface. Approximately 71 percent
of the planet is covered in water. This water exists in various forms such as oceans,
seas, lakes, rivers, glaciers, and underground aquifers. Scientists estimate that there
are around 332.5 million cubic miles or 1.386 billion cubic kilometers of water on Earth.
Water is crucial for life on our planet. It plays a vital role in regulating the Earth's
temperature, transporting nutrients, and supporting ecosystems. Additionally, water is
essential for human survival, and we need it for drinking, cooking, and sanitation.
