Outer Space
by Meish Goldfish

From far out in space , Earth looks like a blue ball. Since water covers three-fourths of
the Earth’s surface , blue is the color we see most. The continents look brown, like small
islands floating in the huge, blue sea.White clouds wrap around the Earth like a light blanket.
The Earth is shaped like a sphere, or a ball. It is 25,000 miles around! It would take more than
a year to walk around the whole planet. A spaceship can fly around the widest part of the
sphere in only 90 minutes.
Even though spaceships have traveled to the Moon, people cannot visit the Moon without
special suits. The Moon has no air or water. Plants and animals can’t live there either.
Astronauts first landed on the Moon in 1969. After that, there were six more trips to the
Moon.They brought back Moon rocks, which scientist are still studying. There are holes or
craters, all over the Moon’s surface. Scientists believe that meteorites smashed into the Moon
millions of years ago and formed the craters.
The Sun is the closest star to Earth. A star is a hot ball of burning gas. The Sun looks very
big because it is so close. But the Sun in just a medium sized star. Billions of far away stars
are much bigger than our Sun. The burning gases from the Sun are so hot that they warm the
Earth from 93 million miles away! Even though the Sun is always glowing, the night here on
Earth is dark. That’s because the Earth rotates, or turns around, every 24 hours. During the
day, the Earth faces the Sun. Then we see light. During the night, the Earth turns aways from
the Sun. Then it faces the darkness of space.
