21.) It is the layer which protects the Earth’s living organisms from the solar flares and gives a beautiful sight named Aurora
Borealis and Aurora Australis. _______________________
22.) It is where the Exosphere, Thermosphere, Mesosphere, Stratosphere and Troposphere are found. _______________
23.) It is where the crust and mantle are located and where many of the lands are found. ________________________
24.) It includes all the water in land, oceans and atmosphere. This includes the seas, the icebergs, the ice at the North Pole and
the clouds that will later fall as rain. _______________________
25.) It is the phase on the Earth’s surface where life thrives. Most of the living organisms are found here from the simplest forms
to the complex ones. _______________________
26.) An English astronomer who gave us the three laws of motion and studied on the gravitational pull of the Earth and the gravity
of other heavenly bodies. He gave us the Law of Gravity. ________________________
27.) The Greek astronomer who proposed that the center of the Solar System is the Earth. All other heavenly bodies are revolving
around it. ________________________
28.) A German physicist who is considered as the greatest mind in the human history. He said that the speed of light in a vacuum
is constant. ________________________
29.) He proposed that the universe has a beginning and an end and it has no limits or boundaries. __________________
30.) His work was on the extraterrestrial intelligence and founded SETI known as Search for Extraterrestrial Intelligence. Using his
equation, he gave an estimate of the extraterrestrial civilizations in the Milky Way galaxy. __________________
31.) He was an American astronomer who proposed the widely accepted theory that the moon was debris from the Earth.
________________________
32.) An Italian astronomer and mathematician who defended the idea of Copernicus and Kepler about the Heliocentric theory of
the Solar System. He improvised the Optical telescope leading to the discovery of Jupiter’s four primary moons and rings of
Saturn. ________________________
33.) A Danish astronomer who made calculations of the planets and proposed that the Earth revolves around the sun in elliptical
motion in circular. ________________________
34.) A Greek mathematician, astronomer and geographer who measures the size of the Earth through Mathematics and stated that
