On Earth Day 2025, we received dozens of questions about the Earth and its environment. We input your questions as AI prompts and below we've provided the generative AI* outputs for a selection of prompts covering a wide range of topics. We've included name and school information with the prompt when available. We did not revise any of the prompt submissions, but please read the rest of this guide to learn best practices for creating AI quality prompts:
