Summary
Environmental science is the study of the biological, chemical, and physical processes of the Earth, our environment. The interactions of human society and the environment are place-based and embedded within the processes of the Earth itself. The Earth is orbiting the Sun. The Earth rotates on its axis once a day (every 24 hours) and orbits around the Sun once a year (every 365.25 days). These timescales (one day, one year), and more, are inextricably linked with environmental processes.
