Teacher asks students to: - observe the consequences of a lack of atmosphere on the colour of the sky, using a free software application such as Stellarium; stars will be visible in the daytime, as the sky will turn black; - compare the colour of Earth’s sky with those of other places in the Solar System; - draw a diagram showing the various gaseous layers of the atmosphere.
