7. The apparent deflection (curving)of moving
9. the star nearest to earth and the center of our solar system
10. The whole mass of air surrounding earth.
12. electromagnetic energy emitted from the sun;travels through space in waves (rays)
14. the outer atmosphere of the sun;visible from Earth during a total solar eclipse
15. Energy that is the total kinetic energy (motion)of atoms and molecules.
16. Transfer of thermal energy through circular motion caused by heating and cooling in fluids (liquids and gases)

1. 78% nitrogen, 21% oxygen, tiny amounts of other gases
2. A natural movement of air from an area of high density and pressure to an area of low density and pressure
