Moon
1
The Sun is the center of our Solar System. It gives off heat and light, but it does not move. The
22
Earth revolves around the sun once a year (365 days). The Earth rotates on its axis once a day
41
(24 hours). The moon revolves around the Earth once a month (28 days). The moon does not
58
produce its own light. It reflects the sun's light. In space, half of the moon is always exposed to
77
light and the other half is dark, just like the Earth. As the moon revolves around the Earth, it
96
reflects different amounts of sunlight depending on its position. This is what causes the phases
111
of the moon.
114
Planets
115
Planets in our solar system differ in terms of their distance from the sun, number of moons,
132
size, and what they are made of. The order of the planets in distance from the sun is: Mercury,
151
Venus, Earth, Mars, Jupiter, Saturn, Uranus, Neptune, Pluto. There is actually lots of empty
165
space in our solar system, objects are very far from eachother. Scales help us see the
181
differences in size and distance from the sun.
189
Every object exerts gravitational force on every other object depending on the mass of the
204
objects and the distance between them. The sun's gravitational pull holds Earth and other
218
planets in orbit. Earth's gravitational force holds the moon in orbit. Mass is the amount of
234
matter in an object. Each planet has a different pull on objects. That pull is called gravity. The
252
changes in gravity between planets effects how heavy objects are on that planet.
265
Technology has been and is being used to investigate the solar system. Satellites and space
280
probes can take pictures of planets and send information to Earth. Computers analyze and
294
interpret materials and information collected. Telescopes allow us to look into space and see
308
objects far away to observe them. Rockets and space shuttles travel into space and launch
323
satellites and repair them.
