The Solar System

Have you ever thought about Earth. 

             Yeah, you know, that place were you live in.

Looks beautiful, ehhh!!!!

Well let me tell you, we belong to the Soler System!

What is the Solar system?                               

Our solar system is made up of the sun, satellites and the planets.

The planets orbit the sun.

There are 8 planets: Mercury, Venus, Earth, Mars, Jupiter, Saturn, Uranus and Neptune.

                                    

Are you ready for a quiz! Give me an "Oh yeah!!!"

What is Earth? Earth is our planet.                       It is a large sphere. Have a close look. What can you see? Yes! It´s a blue planet because it is covered with a lot of water as the oceans but there is also land as island and continents. Earth is surrounded by air call atmosphere and in the air there is oxygen. Take a deep breath.  I love my planet Earth!! Hey! What is that up in the sky that I see at night?  The what? The moon! What is the moon? The moon is the Earth Satellite.  It ts smaller than the Earth and has no light, no air and no water. Sounds like a boring place to me! The moon rotates the Earth. Is this why we have day and night? Yes! Earth spins slowly. It turns round once every 24 hours (1 day) When the surface of the Earth faces the sun it is day and on the other side it is night. What is the sun? The sun is a star.            But it doesn´t look like this. It looks like this to our eyes. But do you really want to know what color is the sun? It´s white, believe it or not! Well that was interesting, but let´s keep rolling with the sun. The sun gives Earth light and heat. The sun rises at dawn and sets at dusk. At midday, it is high in the sky and at night the sun is hidden. Earth spins around the sun. It takes 365 days. (1 year) to do this. Wow!!!! Oh yeah! Ready to welcome our 4 seasons.
