„Rozvoj vzdělávání žáků karvinských základních škol v oblasti cizích jazyků“ Registrační číslo projektu: CZ.1.07/1.1.07/02.0162 Určeno pro 8. – 9. ročník Sekce Zvýšený zájem Předmět Anglický jazyk Téma / kapitola Solar System Zpracoval (tým 1) Ing. Miroslav Mitašik Solar System The planet closest to the sun is Mercury. Mercury is a tiny planet. It has got neither air nor water. Its days are much hotter and its nights much colder than any place on the Earth. Venus is the planet between Mercury and Earth. It is the hottest planet. It is the brightest body in the night sky. The Earth is the third planet from the sun. It is the first planet with a moon and the only planet with life. The planet number four is Mars. Its nickname is “the Red Planet”. Mars can be seen at night form Earth without a telescope. It is almost certain that Mars once had rivers. With its mountains and deserts, Mars is the planet most similar to Earth. But it is very cold and dry. Jupiter is planet number five. It is the largest planet of the eight. You can see it from Earth without a telescope and it looks like a star. Jupiter has got at least sixteen moons. The sixth planet from the sun is Saturn. Its rings are made of ice, dust and rocks, but scientists do not know where they come from. Saturn has got even more moons than Jupiter, twenty-three. Uranus is the third gas giant and seventh planet from the sun. When you watch it through a telescope, it looks green. Jupiter, Saturn, Uranus and Neptune are the “gas giants”. The last of the gas giants is Neptune. It is usually the eighth planet from the sun. Sometimes, for example from 1986 to 1999, Neptune was further away than Pluto. Neptune can be seen only with a telescope. It is frozen and looks green.
