a process in which an organism uses sunlight to make their food.

Photosynthesis describes the process in which plants consume sunlight in order to maintain basic life functions. This occurs through the synthesis of carbon dioxide and water and creates a byproduct that we use, known as oxygen.

enhanced global partnerships and exploration capabilities may advance international preparedness for protecting the earth from catastrophic events such as some asteroid strikes, advancing collaborative research on space weather and protecting spacecraft by developing new means for space debris removal.
