| Matter has various states with unique
properties that can be used as a basis for organization. The relationship between the properties of
matter and its structure is an essential component of study in the physical
sciences. The understanding of matter
and its properties leads to practical applications, such as the capability to
liberate elements from ore, create new drugs, manipulate the structure of
genes and synthesize polymers. |

with its components separated by vast distances. Tools of technology will continue to aid in
the investigation of the components, origins, processes and age of the
universe. Earth is one part in our
solar system, which is within the Milky Way galaxy. The Sun is the
energy-producing star for our solar system.
Most objects in our solar system are in predictable motion, resulting
in phenomena such as day/night, year, phases of the moon, tides, and
eclipses. |
