We had a great time learning about outer space. Making this PowerPoint presentation was so much fun! I hope you enjoy it! Group picture Should go here.

All about Earth Earth could fit inside the sun 1 million times…with room to spare. Scientists however, are not able to go 4,000 miles to the earth’s center to see what it looks like there. You can find many constellations. Pictures of earth show its oceans. Sometimes Earth is called the blue planet.

All about Jupiter Jupiter is 480 million miles from the sun. If Jupiter were hollow, more than 1,300 planets could fit inside. Jupiter is the largest planet. Jupiter has at least sixteen moons. Jupiter’s red spot rains and it never stops.

All about Mars Mars has polar cups and clouds. There are volcano’s on Mars that are not active. Mars looks like a bright star. Mars was once very hot inside.

All about the Sun The distance between the sun and the earth varies because the earth travels in an orbit. The sun is very hot. If astronauts even went near it they would die. People have always understood the sun’s amazing power. Long ago, there was no way for people to study the sun. Instead, they worshiped god.

Mercury Mercury orbits closer to the sun than any other planet, making it dry,hot, and virtually airless. Mercury is hard to look at from earth. But Mercury is a planet, not a star. Mercury takes 59% of earth days to spin once on its axis. Mercury is a small, but it’s heavy for its size.

Weight of Mrs.Guardia and Mrs. Burge Mrs. Guardia would weigh 48 pounds on Mercury. On Venus she would weigh 115 pounds. On Earth she would weigh 128 pounds. On Mars she would weigh 48 pounds. On Jupiter she would weigh 337 pounds! On Saturn she would weigh 144 pounds. On Uranus she would weigh 113 pounds. On Neptune she would weigh114 pounds. On Pluto she would weigh 21 pounds.

Our favorite object that we learned about in space was the planet Jupiter. It was amazing to find out that Jupiter has a constant storm. We are so glad that earth does not have a great red spot! Group picture should go here.
