These Chocolates and Bars contain high amounts of sugar and fats!!! Galaxies were made approximately 13billion years ago. It started with a small glow in space called the Big Bang. A long time after The Big Bang the gas became hot and dense enough for the first star to form. A Galaxy is billions of stars with gas and dust. They are held together by a gravitational attraction. Wow! What is the Milky Way you ask? The Milky Way is the name of the Galaxy that has 9 planets ,the Sun and billions of other stars in it. There are hundreds of billions of estimated Galaxies but over the years technology (having bigger and better equipment )has changed and now they are finding lots more of them. There are three types of Galaxies- Spiral-Elliptical-Irregular The only difference in these Galaxies are the size . The smallest of the three types is the Elliptical Galaxy. Which Galaxy is which? Guess using your knowledge which is which? Spiral Galaxy Elliptical Galaxy Irregular Galaxy Which Planets Are In The Milky Way You Ask? 1. 2. 3. 4. 5. 6. 7. 8. 9. Mercury Venus Earth Mars Jupiter Saturn Uranus (NO DON’T LAUGH) Neptune Pluto Along time ago little rocks crashed into each other and that pile got bigger and bigger to make a planet. Although we only talk about one sun in the sky there are more. The sun is a star, so however many stars there are in the Universe is how many suns the are. And that is over 100 billion suns/stars. We don’t call all the stars the suns because there is only one star close enough to Earth to call it the Sun. WOW Star •A star has its own light •A star twinkles in the sky •A telescope can only make it brighter but not bigger because the star is too far away •A star has a high temperature Planet •A Planet does not twinkle •A Planet does not have its own light , It gets light from the Sun •A telescope can make the Planet look bigger because the Planets are closer than the stars •A Planet has a low temperature The colours of the planets are not what you think. Yes the sun is yellow , red and orange. People think Mars is is red , like I did . Just wait and see what colour it really is . Mercury-Grey Venus-Yellow/white Earth-Blue / Green /Brown Mars- Brown/yellow / Red Jupiter-Orange/Red/White / Yellow Saturn-Pale yellow with hints of Orange Uranus- Light Blue Neptune – Light Blue Pluto-Red The Sun is - Yellow/Red/Orange By Hattie Pilling
