Dangerous Things In Space
Day And Night
The Sun
You all know that Mars is red but it is also known
as the Red planet. Every planet has a sign. This
is the sign of Mars
It is similar to
Uranus’s sign but it is a bit different. Mars has
2 moons which is not very much. Did you
know that Mars’s moons are actually
meteors? Mars’s gravity pulled them in to
make the meteors Mars’s moons. Mars is the
4th planet from the Sun and it’s neighbors are
Earth and Jupiter.
The Sun isn't a planet it’s a star. The Sun is made
up of gas it is so hot that if anything went near
it would blow up. Did you know that there is
something bigger than the Sun? The red giant
is way bigger than the Sun. The Sun also has
rivers of larva. Know one has ever set foot on
the Sun it is impossible to land on it.
The Sun’s surface
Mercury and Venus are the 2 hottest planets
Venus is hotter than Mercury because Venus
has thick clouds to keep the Suns heat in
which makes Venus’s surface extremely hot.
This is Venus’s sign
And this is Mercury’s
sign
Mercury is the smallest planet in the
solar system(Not including Pluto)It takes 88
days to orbit the Sun. And Mercury has no
moons. Venus takes 224.7 Earth days to go
around the Sun and Venus has no moons.
The phases of the Moon
Day time is bright and night is dark. Sometimes
You can see the moon in the daytime. Did you
know that stars are in the sky at daytime but
you just cant see them, it’s too bright at
daytime.
The biggest planets are Saturn and Jupiter. Saturn
is most remembered for its rings. Did you know
that Saturn’s rings aren't solid? There made up of
millions of fragments that are Ice and rock.
Saturn's sign is this
And this is Jupiter's
Jupiter is really big and it also has a big red spot
which is a giant storm. It takes 4,330.6 Earth days
to go around the Sun. Jupiter has 63 known
moons and Saturn has 31 known moons. Did you
know Saturn is light enough to float on water?
And Jupiter has rings too.
The cold planets are Uranus and Neptune. Neptune
also has rings like Saturn and Jupiter but Uranus
also has rings these planets all have rings because
they all gas giants. Did you know Neptune and
Jupiter are the only planets with storms Neptune
has 2 and Jupiter has 1. Neptune has 13 moons
it’s largest is Triton. Uranus has 27 moons and it is
the 7th planet from the Sun. Uranus has a
temperature of -214 so any water that is on
Uranus would be frozen. Did you know that
Neptune’s gravity pulls Uranus close to Neptune?
Uranus’s sign
Neptune's sign
Constellations are a group of stars that make a
picture. Sometimes you can’t see the picture
because first you have to join the stars up,
then the picture appears in your head. There
are heaps of constellations, here are some of
them:
Aries – Ram
Orion – The Hunter
Capricorn - Goat
Leo - Lion
Cygnus – Swan
Aquarius - Fish
Our Planet Earth is the only planet with life form
as far as we know. The land is surrounded by
sea and we have very different languages,
cultures, countries and different types of food.
We also have nature that helps us survive. We
are the third planet from the Sun. Did you
know that in 22 million years Earth will
become to close to the Sun and explode.
Each planet has a God in ancient times. The planets
were named after these Gods:
*Mercury – The winged messenger
*Venus – The goddess of beauty
*Mars – The god of war
*Jupiter – The ruler of the gods
*Saturn – Was once the ruler of the gods
*Uranus – God of the sky
*Neptune – God of the sea
We have many dangerous things in space like:
*Meteors are a ball of rock that can travel very fast.
Once it gets to close to an object it falls
diagonally very quickly and forms a substance
around it and crashes and is invincible.
*Space is a huge thing but there is one thing in
particular that can kill you – No oxygen. You need
oxygen to breathe and there is none in space.
There are much more things in space that are
much, much more dangerous.
