A blanket of gases II.
Text 1
We can live on Earth because it´s surrounded by a blanket of gases, known as
the atmosphere.
The Sun gives off and enormous amount of energy, including heat and light.
Further away from Earth, the atmosphere gets thinner until it fades away.
The atmosphere gives us air to breathe and water to drink.
Heat from the Sun generates winds, ocean currents and all of our weather.
The Sun´s energy travels in waves. Visible light is the only energy we can see.
A layer of gas, known as the ozone layer, absorbs harmful UV rays from the
Sun.
Text 2
Some UV rays still reach Earth. But we can protect ourselves against them
with hats, sunglasses and sun-cream.
Under the hot Sun, water evaporates. It rises into the sky and turns into
clouds of tiny water droplets.
The water droplets grow bigger and heavier until they fall from the sky as
rain.
