☀️ The Sun Is a Star!
Did you know the Sun is actually a star? It sits right in the middle of our solar system. The Sun gives us light and heat, which helps plants grow and keeps Earth warm enough for people and animals to live.
🪐 How Many Planets Are There?
Our solar system has eight planets! They are Mercury, Venus, Earth, Mars, Jupiter, Saturn, Uranus, and Neptune. Can you try saying them in the right order?
🔴 The Red Planet
Mars is called the “Red Planet.” It looks red because its surface is covered with rusty iron dust. That’s what gives Mars its cool color!
🚀 First Person on the Moon
The first person to ever walk on the Moon was Neil Armstrong. He made history when he stepped onto the Moon in 1969.
🌍 How Fast Does Earth Spin?
Earth spins really fast—about 1,000 miles per hour! Even though that sounds super speedy, we don’t feel it because gravity keeps us safely on the ground.
👩🚀 Astronauts Stuck in Space
NASA astronauts Suni Williams and Butch Wilmore stayed in space for nine months! They were only supposed to stay for eight days, but problems with their spacecraft kept them on the International Space Station much longer.
