Task 5 Choose the best summary according to the video
1. In the video, it is explained how the Earth is the only planet in the solar system
with a moon, and how this affects the Earth's tides. It also discusses the different
layers of the Earth, including the mantle and core, and how they contribute to the
Earth's structure. The video also talks about the Earth's magnetic field and how it
protects us from harmful radiation.
2. The video talks about the planet Earth, which is the third planet from the sun and
the only planet known to have liquid water on its surface. It also explains how the
Earth's atmosphere protects us and allows us to breathe, while also causing the
seasons due to the Earth's tilt. The video also mentions that the Earth has different
layers, with the outermost layer being the crust where we live.
3. In the video, it is mentioned that the Earth is very different from other planets
because it has liquid water and a unique atmosphere. However, the Earth is not the
only planet with these features, and it is not the only place where life exists. The
video also states that the Earth's rotation and tilt do not affect the seasons.
