• Very dense, warm, wet forests

• Havens for millions of plants and animals.

• Extremely important in the ecology of the .

• Plants generate much of the ’s oxygen.

• Plants are usually used in new drugs that fight diseases and illnesses.

• Provide many things that is needed for life to exist on

• Amazon rainforest produces 20% of the world’s oxygen.

• More than 50% of the world’s known plant and animal species are living or growing in it.

• Have the ability to organize such a diverse eco-system to allow enormous amount of co-existence and mutual sustenance.

• Destruction of this amazing rainforest as a result of the disturbances to the natural order and balance caused by man’s intervention.

• The greeneries of the produce 50% of the oxygen supply for the planet.

• About 80% of the food consumed by the developed world originates from the rainforest.

• More than half of the world’s estimated 10 million species of plants, animals and insects live in the tropical rainforests.

• One-fifth of the world’s fresh water is in the Amazon Basin.

•Elliptical in shape.

•The is in the centre of it.

•Eight known planets and their moons, along with comets, asteroids, and other space objects orbit around the . •The is the biggest object in our solar system.

•It contains more than 99% of the solar system’s mass.

•Astronomers think the solar system is more than 4 billion years old.

•The is our closest star.

• It is a member of the Milky Way galaxy.

•The is a medium size star.

•It is believed to be over 4 billion years old.

•The spins slowly on its axis as it revolves around the galaxy.

•The solar system is part of a galaxy known as the Milky Way.

•The Milky Way is one of 30 galaxies in a group called the “Local Group”.

•The Local Group is one of dozens of small clusters centered on a large collection of more than 2,500 galaxies called the Virgo Cluster.

•These galaxies and other galaxy groups form a “Supercluster”.

•The Universe contains millions of such Superclusters.

•The universe thus contain almost countless combinations of self-contained and inter-connected galactic systems that all move along within a universal order.

•Our planet can be said to be one of the smallest system in space.

•Amazing system and order in solar system allows the existence of life on planet .

• is the 3rd planet situated from the with all the existing conditions required and suitable for life to exist.

•As the completes its orbit around the every 365 days or a year and throughout it maintains that distance otherwise the would either be frozen or roasted.

•The planets that revolve around the in the solar system also follow an orbit that is fixed and this prevents collisions from happening between any of them.

•Any break of this order would be catastrophic to life on and destruction of the solar system.

•Makes up 71 % of the ’s surface and contain 97% of the ’s water.

•Only 1% of all this water on is fresh water, of which 2-3% are stored in glaciers at the polar caps.

•An estimated 80% of all life on is found under the ocean surface and the oceans contain 99% of the living space on the planet.

•Less than 10% of that space has been explored by humans.

• 85% of the area and 90% of the volume constitute the dark, cold environment that we call the deep sea.

•The average depth of the ocean is 3,795 m.

•The average height of the land is 840 m.

•The Ocean’s current and tide is influenced by the gravitational pull of the as well as the rotation of the .

•Ocean is a critical, if not the most critical element in the whole order of life on .

•It serves as an important part of the food for all living things on .

•Without the abundant supply of from the Ocean, humans will face a scarcity of protein.

•The Ocean too has been the most reliable and trusted mode of for commerce in human history.

• To date, it serves the cause of trade between countries and in fact 90% of such trades between countries are done by traveling in the oceans of the world.

•The Ocean also regulates the temperatures around the .

•The warm waters from the equatorial region would moves or towards the northern or southern oceans.

•While the cold waters from those regions would then move towards the equatorial regions.

•This flow of waters would also affect weather patterns on the surface of the oceans.

•Thus, the world oceans acts almost like a thermostat to regulate temperatures globally.

•The natural balance of water temperature and the flow of waters are affected by changes to the physical condition of the water such as pollutants or rise in volume of the water due to global warming which causes the polar ice caps to melt.
