Given the fact that: At higher concentrations, particles of reactants are crowded closer together, so they are more likely to collide and react. Answer the question: If Mona has filled a balloon with helium and she removes some gas from it, what happens to the likelihood that the helium particles will collide with each other more likely or less likely?
less likely

Given the fact that: An object with greater mass or greater velocity has more kinetic energy. Answer the question: When a car has less velocity what happens to its kinetic energy increases or decreases?
decreases

Question: Given the fact that: The elastic force increases the more the material is stretched or compressed. Answer the question: When a rubber band is stretched, its elastic force increases or decreases?
Answer: increases

*Question*
Given the fact that: When there are more sunspots the Sun is more active and there are more solar storms and more of the Sun's energy reaches the Earth. Answer the question: Mary loves to observe the Sun. If she's looking at the Sun one day and notices less sunspots then she usually sees, what is happening to the amount of solar energy reaching the Earth increasing or decreasing?
**Answer**
decreasing
