Moon Earth and Sun facts By : Zora Reyes Size • • • • The Moon is 3475 km The Earth 3959 km The Sun is 1392000 km The Sun is really , small if you look at all of the others stars Surface • The Moon has craters the Moon is made is made out of rocks. If you step on it you will leave a mark. • The earth is mostly made of water but it is there is still land on earth • The sun is made of hot gases , hydrogen ,iron ,magnesium ,helium ,carbon ,nitrogen ,oxygen ,sulfur Gravity • The Moon has 6 times less gravity than the Earth. Ex : someone weighs 120 lbs. the person goes to the Moon you weigh 20 lbs. • Earth has 6 times than the Moon Time to rotate on its axis • The Moon takes 27.5 days for one whole rotation • The Earth takes one day for one whole rotation • The Sun takes 27 to 35 days to make a full rotation Time to revolve • The Moon revolves around the Earth. It takes 29 day to revolve around the earth. the Moon revolves and rotates to cause the phases of the moon • The earth takes 1 year or 365 days • Luckily the Sun does not revolve or rotate around the earth Weathering and erosion • Moon has no weathering and erosion because there is nothing to move water on or anything. Also there is no atmosphere and no weather • The Earth has weathering and erosion, we have weather and a atmosphere. Weathering and erosion work together and change the Earth . Also if you want to learn more go to the next slide Weathering and erosion intel • Weathering breaks down materials in the earths crust into sediment • Erosion is weathered rock is carried away by gravity, wind, and ice How tides work • High tides occurs on the sides of the Earth closest to the Moon. In the middle of the Earth they have low tides How seasons work • Winter and fall. Farthest from the gives less warmth • Summer and spring. Closest from the Sun gives more warmth. • the seasons are caused by the tilt of the Earth Weather and atmosphere • The Moon has extreme weather . It is 110 Celsius when the moon is shinning. The Moon is below 50 Celsius. The moon as no atmosphere or a very thin atmosphere. • The Earth is 15 Celsius . The Earth has a atmosphere. The atmosphere causes weather and erosion. We have rain, snow, sleet, fog, thunder storms, lighting, and tornados. Water • Yes there is water on the Moon. There is ice on the Moon so we do water. There is 6 % water. • 75 % of the Earth is made from water. So that is a lot of water!! Interesting features of the Sunsun • The Sun is so big you can put 1,000,000 Earths in the sun. The suns core is 13,600,000 Celsius. The sun is almost a perfect sphere. Some of the sunspots can be larger than the Earth. The solar flares can make electricity can go out. Effects on Earths temperatures • The Earths surface is warmed by the sun. Some heat is absorbed by a greenhouse gases like carbon dioxide . Some heat makes its way to space directly Click here for a video Thank you for watching!
