- - - - Help with the ecosystem
        
        Pollinate Flowers
        
        Base of food webs
        
        Keep harmful organisms in check
        
        Disperse seeds
  - - - They host 80 percent of the planet’s biodiversity, and are the largest ecosystem on Earth.
        
        Fish provide 20 percent of animal protein to about 3 billion people.
        
        Only ten species provide about 30 percent of marine capture fisheries and ten species provide about 50 percent of aquaculture production.
      - Scientists have discovered that many marine invertebrates produce antibiotic, anti-cancer and anti-inflammatory substances
        
        Horseshoe crabs, seaweeds and marine bacteria have also been found to have useful medical properties.
      - Bad Things
        
        Overfishing is reducing fish populations, threatening the supply of nutritious food and changing marine food webs.
        
        Plastics are also particularly problematic with enormous floating rubbish patches forming in the oceans.
- - - - kicked out of school
      - fired from a job
      - denied housing simply because of who they love or how they express their gender
    - - 19% of LGBT employees have experienced verbal bullying because of their sexual orientation
      - 26% of LGBT workers are not open to colleagues about their sexual orientation
      - 42% of trans people are not living permanently in their preferred gender role and feel they are prevented from doing so because they fear it might threaten their employment
- - - - low self-esteem
      - depression
      - anxiety, including social anxiety
      - eating problems
      - self-harm
      - suicidal feelings
  - - - The human brain is more complex than any other known structure in the universe.
- - - - Asteroids
        
        Asteroids are rocky objects revolving around the sun that are too small to be called planets.
        
        There are millions of asteroids, ranging in size from hundreds of miles to several feet across.
      - Dwarf Planets
        
        5 Dwarf Planets
        
        Pluto
        
        Discovered in 1930
        
        Originally called a planet in 1990, then reclassified a dwarf planet in 2006.
        
        Has 5 moons.
        
        Pluto's orbit is not circular like those of the other planets and it actually crosses Neptune's orbit, which means that Pluto is sometimes closer to the Sun than Neptune is.
        
        It takes Pluto nearly 250 years to complete one trip around the Sun.
        
        Ceres
        
        Ceres is the largest object in the asteroid belt between the orbits of Mars and Jupiter.
        
        It takes Ceres 4.6 years to complete one trip around the Sun.
        
        Scientists suspect that this unique dwarf planet may even have an ocean of liquid water hidden under a layer of ice.
        
        Eris
        
        Located beyond the orbit of Neptune, Eris completes one trip around the Sun every 557 years.
        
        It is slightly smaller than Pluto but actually contains over 25% more matter.
        
        Since Eris is so far away, no surface details can be seen with current instruments, but astronomers have detected the presence of methane ice and believe Eris's surface is similar to that of Pluto.
        
        Haumea
        
        Haumea was discovered in 2004 in the Kuiper Belt beyond the orbit of Neptune.
        
        Makemake
        
        Makemake was discovered in 2005.
        
        Makemake takes over 300 years to complete a trip around the Sun.
        
        Difference between a planet and a dwarf planet
        
        Smaller
        
        Lack Gravitational Forces
    - - Meteoroids are objects in space that range in size from dust grains to small asteroids. Think of them as “space rocks."
      - When meteoroids enter Earth’s atmosphere (or that of another planet, like Mars) at high speed and burn up, the fireballs or “shooting stars” are called meteors.
      - When a meteoroid survives a trip through the atmosphere and hits the ground, it’s called a meteorite.
