Answer:

Oxygen gas

Explanation:

Oxygen is the most essential gas that supports life. In the early atmosphere, during the time of the formation of the earth, there was the absence of this gas. But after a certain period of time, roughly about 2.3 billion years back, there was slightly an increase in the atmospheric oxygen that helped in the origin of life, forming unicellular organisms such as cyanobacteria and blue-green algae.

These organisms were present in the water bodies that carried out the process of photosynthesis, by absorbing CO₂ gas in the presence of sunlight and liberating O₂ gas. This, over millions of years, led to the evolution of life and created more complex multicellular organisms.

Thus, Oxygen is highly essential for the origin of life on earth.

What are sunspots? Pls help
liq [111]

Answer:

Sunspots are darker, cooler areas on the surface of the sun in a region called the photosphere.

Explanation:

The photosphere has a temperature of 5,800 degrees Kelvin. Sunspots have temperatures of about 3,800 degrees K. They look dark only in comparison with the brighter and hotter regions of the photosphere around them.

Sunspots can be very large, up to 50,000 kilometers in diameter. They are caused by interactions with the Sun's magnetic field which are not fully understood. But a sunspot is somewhat like the cap on a soda bottle: shake it up, and you can generate a big eruption. Sunspots occur over regions of intense magnetic activity, and when that energy is released, solar flares and big storms called coronal mass ejections erupt from sunspots.
