Astronomy is a natural science that involves the scientific study of celestial objects (such as stars, planets, comets, galaxies, and nebulae), the universe as a whole, and the phenomena that originate beyond Earth's atmosphere. It uses principles of mathematics, physics, and chemistry to understand their origin, evolution, physical and chemical properties, and behavior. While cosmology is a branch of astronomy that focuses on the universe's origin, evolution, and large-scale structure, astronomy encompasses the broader study of all extraterrestrial objects and phenomena.

Transpiration is the process by which plants transport water and minerals from the roots to the leaves, where it is used for photosynthesis and other metabolic processes. Excess water is released into the air as water vapor through tiny openings called stomata.

Outer Core The magnetic field is generated by electric currents due to the motion of convection currents of a mixture of molten iron and nickel in Earth's outer core: these convection currents are caused by heat escaping from the core, a natural process called a geodynamo.

Plate tectonics is the theory that the Earth's outer layer is divided into large plates that move relative to each other, creating and destroying landforms, oceans, and continents over millions of years.

Earth's surface is the boundary between the atmosphere, and the solid Earth and oceans. Defined in this way, Earth's shape is an idealized spheroid – a squashed sphere – with a surface area of about 510 million square km (197 million sq mi).

The earthen lamp lit by Madhavdeva, a prominent figure in Assamese Vaishnavism, is still burning continuously at the Dhekiakhowa Bornamghar in Jorhat, Assam. This Namghar (place of worship) was established by Madhavdeva in 1528, and the lamp has been kept alight ever since, making it a significant pilgrimage site and a symbol of enduring tradition.

Seawater is generally salty in taste. Salt is a naturally occurring mineral compound composed primarily of sodium chloride. Seawater, being a mixture of salt and water, inherits its salty taste from the salt it contains.
