Facts The sun is very hot There was water on mars If you put Saturn in water it would float We are moving through space at the rate of 530km a second The moon is drifting away from Earth The light hitting the earth right now is 30 thousand years old The Sun loses up to a billion kilograms a second due to solar winds Uranus was originally called George’s Star If two pieces of metal touch in space, they become permanently stuck together

The earth is made of many things, but basically it's a huge ball of rock. The very top layer of the Earth is the crust which is about 3 3/4 miles thick beneath the oceans. The earth's crust is made up of huge slabs called tectonic plates. Beneath the crust is the earth's mantle which goes almost halfway down to the center of the earth. Beneath the mantle is the outer core, which contains hot liquid rock. It is made of liquid iron and nickel The center of the earth is called the inner core which is a huge ball of hot but solid rock. It is made of solid iron and nickel. The temperature at the earth's center is believed to be about 8100 degrees F. or 4500 degrees C.
 * What is the Earth Made Of ? **

The Fisrt Planetaruim Was Made By Acient Chinese.

The first spacecraft:

The first man-made vehicle purpose built to reach space was Sputnik 1 launched on an R-7 rocket by the USSR on October 4 1957. Prior to this, a German V2 rocket had reached the arbitrary limit we call 'space' - 62 miles - by mistake.

THE BIG BANG

Mars:

Mars is the fourth planet in the solar sytem. There is no sight of another creature. Mars is dying planet. There are full rocks in Mars. **The History of Mars** One way scientists determine the age of the surface of a planet like Mars is by counting the number of impact craters. An area with many craters is older than a smooth surface that may be covered by moving sands, modified by erosion, or covered in the past by liquid. Mars history is described by three eras: Noachian, Hesperian and Amazonian.

Temperature and Pressure
The average recorded temperature on Mars is -63° C (-81° F) with a maximum temperature of 20° C (68° F) and a minimum of -140° C (-220° F).

Jupiter is the fifth planet from the Sun and is the largest planet in the solar system. If Jupiter were hollow, more than one thousand Earths could fit inside. It also contains two and a half times the mass of all. Jupiter has a very faint ring system, but is totally invisible from the Earth. (The rings were discovered in 1979 by Voyager 1.) The atmosphere is very deep, perhaps comprising the whole planet, and is somewhat like the Sun. It is composed mainly of hydrogen and helium, with small amounts of methane, ammonia, water vapor and other compounds.

Jupiter's Ring
Unlike Saturn's intricate and complex ring patterns, Jupiter has a simple ring system that is composed of an inner halo, a main ring and a Gossamer ring. To the Voyager spacecraft, the Gossamer ring appeared to be a single ring, but Galileo imagery provided the unexpected discovery that Gossamer is really two rings. One ring is embedded within the other. The rings are very tenuous and are composed of dust particles kicked up as interplanetary meteoroids smash into Jupiter's four small inner moons __[|Metis]__, __[|Adrastea]__, __[|Thebe]__, and __[|Amalthea]__. Many of the particles are microscopic in size. The innermost halo ring is toroidal in shape and extends radially from about 92,000 kilometers (57,000 miles) to about 122,500 kilometers (76,000 miles) from Jupiter's center. It is formed as fine particles of dust from the main ring's inner boundary 'bloom' outward as they fall toward the planet. The main and brightest ring extends from the halo boundary out to about 128,940 kilometers (80,000 miles) or just inside the orbit of Adrastea. Close to the orbit of Metis, the main ring's brightness decreases. The two faint Gossamer rings are fairly uniform in nature. The innermost Amalthea Gossamer ring extends from the orbit of Adrastea out to the orbit of Amalthea at 181,000 kilometers (112,000 miles) from Jupiter's center. The fainter Thebe Gossamer ring extends from Amalthea's orbit out to about Thebe's orbit at 221,000 kilometers (136,000 miles). Jupiter's rings and moons exist within an intense radiation belt of electrons and ions trapped in the planet's magnetic field. These particles and fields comprise the jovian __[|magnetosphere]__ or magnetic environment, which extends 3 to 7 million kilometers (1.9 to 4.3 million miles) toward the Sun, and stretches in a windsock shape at least as far as Saturn's orbit - a distance of 750 million kilometers (466 million miles).

HISTORY:

= =

Jupiter was the chief of the __ [|gods] __ for the Romans, the way __ [|Zeus] __ was for the Greeks. In fact, they must have originally been the same Indo-European sky god. They really have the same name - Jupiter comes from Ju-pater, which means "Ju-the-father" in __ [|Latin] __. You can see that "Ju" is basically the same name as "Zeus". The Romans often thought of Jupiter as part of a group of three gods, Jupiter, __ [|Juno] __, and __ [|Minerva] __. They seem to have gotten this idea from the __ [|Etruscans] __. Many __ [|Etruscan] __ and Roman __ [|temples] __ were dedicated to all three of these gods together.
