Question 9
READ IT!
Which sentence BEST states the main idea of paragraph 9?
Most CMEs never reach Earth, and those
that do usually spread out by the time
they get here.
9 If you're tempted to worry about
space weather, just keep two facts
in mind. First, violent space weather
is unusual. Solar flares and CMES
are fairly rare. Second, space is vast.
Most CMEs miss Earth entirely. Even
those that reach us will have spread
out by the time they get here, like
smoke spreads out from a fire.
Space weather might be important
to keep an eye on, but it's the
weather here on Earth that matters
most when you go outside.
Earthly weather has many dangerous
effects that people should worry about.
People should not fear space weather
because violent events are rare and
space is vast.
People can ignore the negative effects of
space weather because there is nothing
to worry about
