  1. 1. Often confused with latitude, but it is the TILT (Axial Tilt) of the Earth that combines with revolution to create seasons. (Note: Use "TILT" for the vertical word connecting to Latitude).
  2. 2. This atmospheric layer deflects ultraviolet light and supports life by preventing harmful radiation from reaching the surface.
  3. 3. High-energy radiation blocked by Earth’s magnetic field.
  4. 4. The majority of light that reaches Earth’s surface is this type of light.
