What’s In Our Solar System
The Sun, the Moon and the Stars By
Lina
The
Moon
The earths moon is one of approximately
170 moons in our solar system. It is a
quarter of earth’s size.
•Size and temperature
•On the Moon
What is the
temperature of the
Moon?
The moon’s
temperature varies
from -233 Celsius (387 Fahrenheit) at
night, and during the
day it goes to 123
Celsius (253
Fahrenheit).
How Big is the
Moon?
The orbit of the moon is
384,400 km from
earth. The diameter is
3,476 km and the
mass is 7.35e22 kg.
Has anyone landed on the
Moon?
Someone has landed on the
moon.12 astronauts have
so far. The first to land on it
were Neil Armstrong and
Edwin Aldrin, and the last
were Eugene Cernan and
Harrison H. Schmitt.
How Long has someone
stayed on the Moon for ?:
Longest time people have
stayed on the Moon.
The record for the longest
moonwalk on the moon
session was made by NASA
astronaut, Edgar Mitchell and
was 9 hours and 17 minutes
long.
What was the longest time spent on the Moon?
The longest time spent out on the Lunar surfaces (the
moon) is more than 22 hours. This record was made by
Apollo 17, (the Apollo astronauts) who were Gene
Cernan and Harrison Schimdt. They also traversed the
greatest Module and they also collected the largest
amount of Lunar Rocks which was more than 120 kg.
The Sun
•Our sun is a star and is
one of more than 100
billion stars in our galaxy.
Size and temperature
How Close
Is it Getting Hotter
How big is the sun and what’s the
temperature of it?
The diameter of the sun is 1,390,000 km.
The mass is 1.989e30 and the
temperature is 5,800 k for the surface,
and 15,600,000 k for the core.
How close can you get to the sun before
you burn?
The closest you can get to the sun is
Mercury, but it has not been found how
much closer you can get.
Can the sun get hotter every
year?
Studies say the sun is getting
hotter, it is to be thought to
be warming up from
greenhouse gases, adding
heat to the earth.
The Stars
Formation
Closest Star
Temperature
Shooting Star
•There are more than
100 billion stars in our
galaxy, including our
sun. Each star is a
enormous glowing ball
of gas.
Formation
How are stars formed?
Every star is an enormous glowing ball of gas in
the sky, and a medium size star is our sun.
Stars can live for billions of years, and when
an enormous cloud of hydrogen gas
collapse until it is hot enough to burn
nuclear fuel is when a star is born,
Eventually, a star blows up when the
nuclear fuel runs out (in about 5 billion
years). Then the star expands and the core
contracts, the star becoming giant, then it
explodes, and a dim cool object it turns into.
Closest Star
What is the closest star?
The sun is the closest star to us, but if we don’t
include it, the closest star is Proxima Centauri,
aka Alpha Centauri C. It is 4.3 light years from
the sun.
What’s the temperature of a star?
The temperature of the surface of the hottest
star is 100,000 degrees Fahrenheit. Our sun
is 10,000 degrees Fahrenheit. The
temperature of a stars core is 200,000,000
degrees inside and the suns around
25,000,000 degrees inside.
What is a shooting star?
Mostly grit from space colliding at every high
speed, shooting stars are, with air
molecules high up in the sky.
So now you know a bit about the
moon, the sun and the stars. I
hope you learned a lot, but the
one question is, you know how
the sun is a star, what will
happen when it blows
up????????????
