The sun is the closest star to our planet.Without the sun we would not be able to live. The sun is what gives us time. Earth spins around on its axis so we get an equal share of daytime and night time. Earth’s atmosphere stops the speed of whatever comes into our atmosphere.There are 8 planets that spin in an orbit in our solar system. A universe is made of many galaxies.Our planets is one of many planets in the milky way galaxy. Scientists believe that constellations are a group of stars that form an image. Astronauts are planning to move to Mars for a year to see if humans can live there. They are also trying to travel to other planets. Way’s we get to space have changed in the last 20 years. Gravity makes us not go to space it keeps. The distance in space is called light years. Satellites are in space because before we did not have them and the phone calls we made did not go far so we sent satellites to get our calls to another part of earth.Space probes are also a piece of technology created by scientist. A probe is a spacecraft that travels through space to collect science information. Probes do not have astronauts living inside. Probes send data back to Earth for scientists to study. By learning about the solar system in our school we will be able to understand the ways of the universe. Our idea of space exploration is getting better and better.
