This educational poster explores the intricate relationships between the Sun, Earth, and life. It delves into how solar radiation drives Earth's climate and weather systems, as well as the biological processes that sustain life on our planet. One key aspect highlighted is the role of the ozone layer in shielding us from harmful ultraviolet light.
The poster also discusses how Earth's atmosphere traps greenhouse gases, contributing to the overall energy balance of our planet. By integrating NASA's atmospheric monitoring of thermal energy and weather phenomena, such as hurricanes, with Navajo ways of knowing, the resource underscores the deep scientific connections between our primary energy source and the world we inhabit.
