The materials and energy that cause pollution are called <strong>pollutants</strong>. Examples of pollutants are Acids, Soaps and Detergents, Alcohol, Oils, Chemical compounds such as Lead, Sulphide, fertilizers, herbicides, refuse and sewage etc. making the environment undesirable, unpleasant, threatening the health and existence of living organisms including humans. <h2><strong>Types of Pollution</strong></h2> There are mainly three types of pollution namely: (i) Water pollution; (ii) Air pollution; (iii) Land or Soil pollution <h3><strong>Water Pollution</strong></h3>

It is going round the sun. In doing this it carries us all through space. The earth travels through the space but we do not realize this because the air around the earth is carried along with it. The sun together with all the bodies which revolves round it makes up the solar system. The solar system consists of the sun, eight planets and their moons along with dwarf planets, comets and asteroids which revolve round the sun. The solar system is divided into inner and outer parts. The inner part contains the Sun, Mercury, Venus, Earth and Mars while the outer part contains Jupiter, Saturn, Uranus and Neptune. The two parts are demarcated by asteroid belt.

Air pollutants can be solids, liquids or gases. <p style="text-align: center;"><img class="size-full wp-image-19620 aligncenter" src="https://classhall.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/06/air-pollution.jpg" alt="air pollution" width="252" height="181" /><strong>Air Pollution</strong></p> Air pollution is a serious problem in many parts of the world. Smokestacks pump pollution into the air, harming the environment and making it harder to breathe.

He was the first person in space and completed an orbit of the Earth before landing. This photograph was taken just before lift-off.</span> <h2><strong>Meaning of Space Travel</strong></h2> Space travel is traveling from the earth to outer space. Space is the environment surrounding the earth, moon and other planets. Human beings are able to go to space and spend days and months using a space rocket called space shuttle. Space travels are expensive to run. <p style="text-align: left;">On 21st July, 1969 Neil Armstrong an American was the first person to step on the moon. He was followed by Edwin Aldrin, also 2 other Americans, Eugene Cernan and Harrison Schmitt who stayed for about 74 hours and 59 minutes on the moon surface. <img class="size-full wp-image-36597 aligncenter" src="https://classhall.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/06/space-travel.jpg" alt="Space travel" width="303" height="215" /><strong>Space Travel</strong></p> <span style="color: #008000;">For hundreds of years, people dreamed about traveling to outer space. The invention of huge rockets made space travel a reality. An astronaut first went into space in 1961 (A Russian, Major Yuri Gagarin). Only eight years later, astronauts landed on the Moon. Since then, people have continued to explore space.</span> <p style="text-align: center;"><img class="size-full wp-image-36598 aligncenter" src="https://classhall.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/06/rocketing-to-space.jpg" alt="Space travel - Rocketing to space" width="297" height="306" /><strong>Rocketing to Space</strong></p>
