Beautiful and mysterious, peaceful and serene, the moon is the brightest object in the night sky. Jupiter and Saturn have more than sixty moons each. Neptune has thirteen moons. Even Mars has two moons. But the Earth, our planet, only has one moon, our nearest neighbor in space. Even though the moon is close to us when compared to other planets, it is still very, very far away. The moon is about 239 thousand miles or 384 thousand kilometers away. You would have to travel all the way around the Earth nine and a half times to go the same distance as the space between the Earth and the Moon. The moon is much smaller than the Earth. Ifthe Earth was hollow, about fifty moons could fit inside. Because it is so much smaller than the Earth, the moon's gravity is much weaker. This means that if you were to visit the moon, you would weigh much less than you do on earth, only about 1/6th of your current weight. That means that if a giraffe was on...
While billions of stars are scattered throughout the universe the one at the center of our solar system Plays a special role for us here on earth. Our Sun formed about 4.5 billion years ago in the Milky Way galaxy's Orion's fur. It was born when a cloud of dust and gas known as a solar nebula Collapsed and in the middle of this formation matter condensed into a burning ball of gas that became our Sun. The sun's fiery nature along with a tremendous gravitational pull and an extensive magnetic field Helped it to become the heart of our solar system. The Sun can be divided into six layers or regions the corona the chromosphere the photosphere the convective and radiative zones and the core in terms of atom count. The Sun is about 91% hydrogen the sun's fuel eight point nine percent helium and point one percent heavier elements such as carbon and nitrogen. Due to the sun's extreme temperatures these elements stay in a gas like phase called plasma. I...
