Imagine that you and your family went camping near a lake for the weekend. Looking at the lake, you remembered that the water there could have passed through many places and been in different forms. Think about the sun heating the lake water, it turning into vapor and rising to the sky, the clouds loaded with vapor, and then the rain falling back into the lake. Describe what happens to the water during this journey, from the lake evaporated by the sun to the rain falling back into the lake, and explain the role of the sun in the water cycle.

Natural phenomena can be considered as extremely important events for our planet, as they influence the climate and the life of the species that exist on it. For example, rains are necessary to keep the rivers and lakes full and thus ensure drinking water for all living beings that depend on it to survive. Which of the following is an example of a natural phenomenon that contributes to the balance of the Earth?

The evolution of the Solar System is a complex process that involves the formation of stars, planets, and other celestial bodies from a large cloud of gas and dust. Studying this evolution not only expands our knowledge of the cosmos but also allows us to understand fundamental aspects of physics and chemistry. On the other hand, ancient cultures developed mythologies and interpretations about the origin and evolution of celestial bodies, often based on astronomical observations and their own traditions. Considering the historical and scientific context, describe the evolution of the Solar System from its beginning in a molecular cloud to the formation and stabilization of planets. Explain how the observations and interpretations of ancient cultures can be related to this evolutionary process, even though they did not have the scientific knowledge we have today.
