OUT OF THIS WORLD SPACE By , Sam Pitts The UNIVERSE The universe is so big I bet you cant even THINK how big it is. There is billions and billions of stars and planets and so on… First we are going to start on our own little tiny dot in the universe, our solar system. The Sun The sun is what all of the planets orbit around. The sun is a HUGE ball of fire and gas. It is what keeps us from freezing to death. If you didn’t know, the sun is actually way smaller than other suns or stars. The sun actually gets bigger over the millions of years and when it gets too big it will swallow up the whole earth!! Here is a pic of the earth compared to the sun -> Mercury Mercury is the smallest planet In the solar system after Pluto was announced a dwarf planet. Mercury is the closest planet to the sun. one side on Mercury is -279 Fahrenheit and the other facing the sun is 801 Fahrenheit. Mercury has thousands of craters on it. Venus Venus is the second planet in the solar system. It is the hottest planet in the solar system reaching 864 Fahrenheit!! Its name comes from the roman god of love and beauty. Venuses atmosphere is so strong that when you landed, you would be standing for at least 3 seconds and the atmosphere would crush you! Did you know that Venus has over a million volcanoes? Earth Our home, EARTH! Earth is the third planet from the sun. Earth is the only planet in the solar system to have….. OREOS!!! No, we are the only planet to sustain life. Earths Ocean covers 71 percent of the planet Earths moon has the biggest satellite in the solar system. Mars Mars is the 4 th and last of the rocky planets. It has a nickname called the red planet because when you look up in the night sky you can see a little red dot. There are two rovers on Mars right now. There names are, opportunity and spirit. Spirit is has actually been stuck in a pit for 7 years! Mars has two moons. Nasa is still trying to land on Mars. Jupiter Jupiter is the 5 th and largest planet in the solar system. Its big red dot on it is actually a hurricane the size of earth!! Nobody knows if Jupiter has a hard rocky core, or if its just made of gas. Recently, scientist found that Jupiter has a very small ring around it just like Saturn!! Saturn ‘ Saturn is the 6 th planet in the solar system. It has rings made of ice that some can be as small as a piece of dust. Saturn has the most moons with 62!! One of Saturn's moons is called Titan, witch is the 2 nd largest moon in the solar system. Uranus Uranus is the 7 th planet from the sun. did you know that Uranus actually spins on its side? Uranus also has rings made of ice. It takes 84 earth years for Uranus to orbit the sun once!! Neptune Neptune is the 8 th and final planet in the solar system. It is known to be the stormiest planet in the solar system reaching winds at 1,500 MPH!! It takes Neptune 165 earth yearth years to orbit the sun. Pluto Pluto is a Dwarf planet. Did you know its own moon is almost as big as Pluto? There is not much known about Pluto. Black Hole!! A Black Hole is a invisible vacuum in outer space. A Black Hole is so powerful, not even light can escape it!! There is a Black Hole near our solar system. Stars And Galaxies Did you know there is billions and trillions of other stars and galaxies? There is more stars in the sky than there are grains of sand on the Earth. The only way to think about how big this great Universe, is to use your imagination. THE END PICTURE CREDIT TO COOL NASA PICITURES OF …….
