Explanation

A rain gauge is a meteorological instrument to measure the precipitating rain in a given amount of time per unit area.

The instrument consists of a collection container that is placed in an open area.

Explanation

The ozone layer protects living things from too much ultraviolet  from entering the atomsphere.

Oxygen layer in the atmosphere

Ozone protects us from the harmful ultraviolet radiation of the sun.

Ozone formula: O3

The ozone layer lies approximately 15-40 kilometers (10-25 miles) above the Earth's surface, in the stratosphere.

The ozone layer is depleting: Air pollution

Explanation

Because sound is just vibrating air, space has no air to vibrate and therefore no sound in a vacuum.

Sound waves below 20 Hz are known as infrasound.

Sound waves above 20 kHz are known as ultrasound

Sound waves transmit a medium such as a gas, liquid, or solid.

• The speed of sound in air is about 343 meters per second
• The sound travels at 1,481 m/s in water 
• The speed of sound in a vacuum is zero meters per second,

Explanation

The age of a tree is determined by counting its growth rings.

They are visible in the cross-section of the stem.

Each ring represents one year of growth.

Explanation

• The greenhouse effect is an environmental problem caused by the increasing amount of carbon dioxide (CO2) in the atmosphere.
• Primarily due to human activities such as burning fossil fuels, deforestation, and land-use changes.
• This excess CO2 traps heat and leads to global warming and climate change.

Explanation

Chlorine atoms in Chlorofluorocarbons (CFCs) are primarily responsible for the depletion of the ozone layer. 

Explanation

Meteorology is the study of the atmosphere, atmospheric phenomena, and atmospheric effects on our weather

Explanation

Sunlight is white but appears yellow due to light scattering in the Earth's atmosphere.

Explanation

The term "cosmic" pertains to the universe, space, and celestial phenomena.

Explanation

 Rainbows occur when sunlight is refracted, reflected, and dispersed in water droplets, creating a spectrum of colors.

When light meets a water droplet,

It is refracted at the boundary of air and water, and enters the droplet

Where the light is dispersed into the seven colors
