Earth
Earth is not flat, but it's not perfectly round either.
Earth is not flat, but it's not perfectly round either.
Earth is the third closest planet to The Sun.
Earth is 4.543 billion years old.
Earth rotates at around 1000 miles an hour.
Saturn
Saturn could float in water because it is mostly made of gas.
You cannot stand on Saturn.
Saturn's rings are huge but thin.
Adorned with thousands of beautiful ringlets, Saturn is unique among the planets. It is not the only planet to have rings – made of chunks of ice and rock – but none are as spectacular or as complicated as Saturn's.
jupiter
Jupiter is the fifth planet from our Sun and is, by far, the largest planet in the solar system Jupiter is the fifth planet from our Sun and is, by far, the largest planet in the solar system Jupiter's stripes and swirls are actually cold, windy clouds of ammonia and water, floating in an atmosphere
Venus
Venus is the second planet from the Sun and Earth's closest planetary neighbor. Even though Mercury is closer to the Sun, Venus is the hottest planet in our solar system. Its thick atmosphere is full of the greenhouse gas carbon dioxide, and it has clouds of sulfuric acid.
mars
Mars is sometimes called the Red Planet
It's red because of rusty iron in the ground.
Like Earth, Mars has seasons, polar ice caps, volcanoes, canyons, and weather. It has a very thin atmosphere made of carbon dioxide, nitrogen, and argon.
Neptune
More than 30 times as far from the Sun as Earth, Neptune is the only planet in our solar system not visible to the naked eye and the first predicted by mathematics before its discovery. In 2011 Neptune completed its first 165-year orbit since its discovery in 1846.
Mercury
Mercury is the smallest planet in our solar system – only slightly larger than Earth's Moon. Mercury is the closest planet to the Sun.
Mercury is also the smallest planet in the Solar System.
uranus
Uranus is the seventh planet from the Sun, and has the third-largest diameter in our solar system. It was the first planet found with the aid of a telescope, Uranus was discovered in 1781 by astronomer William Herschel
you can't see a black hole and our milky way probaly has a black hole and are funky. A black hole is created after the death of a very massive star.
A black hole is a region of space having a gravitational field so intense that no matter or radiation can escape. Black holes are the most iuminous objects in the universe, that they prouduce on light
The sun's equator circmfrernce is 4379000Km, the radius is 695700Km and the suns temperature is 5973 degrees celciuls and up to 15000000 degrees celciuls.
With a diameter of 109 times the size the Earth, the Sun makes a really big sphere. You could fit 1.3 million Earths inside the Sun.
Scientists Disagree On How Long It Will Take, But The Sun Will Eventually Die.
For a rocket to get into orbit around Earth, it needs to travel 17,600 miles per hour! The first person on the moon was Neil Armstrong.
The first person in space was Yuri Gagarin.
The first artificial satellite — Sputnik, launched Oct. 4, 1957 — was Russian.
The Cold War between the United States and former Soviet Union gave birth to the space race and an unprecedented program of scientific exploration. The Soviets sent the first person into space on April 12, 1961.
Asteroids range in size from Vesta – the largest at about 329 miles (530 kilometers) in diameter – to bodies that are less than 33 feet (10 meters) across.
Most of this ancient space rubble can be found orbiting the Sun between Mars and Jupiter within the main asteroid belt.
Asteroids have water gullies.
The Vredefort impactor struck Earth about 2 billion years ago during the Paleoproterozoic Era and is now located in South Africa.
Most of the stars in the universe are red dwarfs
They twinkle because of movement in the Earth's atmosphere.
Every star you see in the night sky is bigger and brighter than our sun.
Stars Can Come Back From The Dead
When a star dies and becomes a white dwarf
which sucks so much material from neighbouring stars that it will be brought back to life. Like a giant space defibrillator.
Our Moon is like a desert with plains, mountains, and valleys.
It has many craters, holes created when space rocks hit the surface at a high speed.
There is no air to breathe on the Moon.
The Moon travels around the Earth in an oval-shaped orbit.
One of the moon facts from the Middle Ages is that scientists and philosophers believed that a full moon caused seizures and influenced episodes of fever and rheumatism.
the Milky Way, contains a supermassive black hole at its core, surrounded by a central bulge of old, yellow stars.
The Milky Way is approximately 100,000 light-years in diameter. Our solar system is 26,000 light-years from the center of the Galaxy. All objects in the Galaxy revolve around the Galaxy's center.
Like planets, dwarf planets are generally round (Haumea looks like an overinflated football) and orbit the Sun. There are likely thousands of dwarf planets waiting to be discovered beyond Neptune. The five best-known dwarf planets are Ceres, Pluto, Makemake, Haumea, and Eris.
