Sun, Moon, and Earth By: Hailey, Sara, and Raymond MOON!!! by: Hailey Roovers earth spins like a giant top. The Moon spins around earth. The Moon is nearest to earth. The Sun gives the Moon light. 1 The word month actually comes from the name moon. The moon is about 239,000 miles away. 7 astronauts have visited the Moon and could see the planet earth from it. 2 The Moon is the same age as the earth. The Moon doesn’t have an atmosphere. Without an atmosphere there is no air to breathe. 3 Craters are formed when meteoroids crash into the Moon. You can jump six times higher on the Moon than you can on Earth. It takes three days to get to the Moon in a space ship. 4 The Moon doesn’t have gravity. Astronauts foot prints stay on the Moon forever. Luna 3 took the first pictures of the dark side of the Moon in 1959 5 The changes in the Moon are called Moon phases. New Moon means no Moon. When the right side of the Moon is lit up it is called first quarter. 5 RECOURCES GOOGLE IMAGES The moon orbits the earth and the earth orbits the sun. Sun By: Sara The Sun is made of gases. The Sun has been burning for 5,000,000 years. The Sun is 93,000,000 miles away. It takes 3.5 years to get to the Sun from the Earth The Earth would be to hot if it was a planet like Mercury but it would be too cold if it was a planet like Mars. A solar Eclipse comes around every 5 years. The Sun is a star. You can jump 6x higher in space than on earth. There are 8 planets in the solar system. All the planets orbit the sun. The Sun spins. We can not live with out the sun. If we didn’t have the sun the earth would freeze! The sun spins while the earth orbits the sun and the moon orbits the earth. It takes 24 hours for the earth to spin around once. It takes 365 days for the earth to orbit the sun once. The sun is 1,000,000 times larger than the earth. Never ever look directly at the sun it will damage your eye sight. The sun is the closes star to the earth.

Earth has lots of continents seven to be exact.Earth is the only planet that has The earth is made up of five lares one of those lares are called the core The earth is the only planet with life because it is just the right distance f The earth is so amazing .The earth is 93,000,000 miles away from the sun. The earth is the third planet away from the sun .It orbits the sun.
