Phases of the moon

• New moon:  looks like the moon went bye-bye
• Waxing crescent: when the light takes more than it should and leaves a crescent shape
• First-quarter: like the third quarter  it is half light and half dark 
• Waxing gibbous: when the light takes over the darkness of the moon
• Full moon: the full white moon.
• Third-quarter: like the first quarter  it is half light and half dark 
• Waning crescent:
• Dark moon:

Moon’s impact on all earth tides

High tides and low tides are caused by the moon. The moon's gravitational pull generates something called the tidal force. The tidal force causes Earth—and its water—to bulge out on the side closest to the moon and the side farthest from the moon. These bulges of water are high tides.

What is a solar and lunar eclipse:

A lunar eclipse occurs when the Earth passes between the Moon and the Sun, and the Earth's shadow obscures the moon or a portion of it. A solar eclipse occurs when the Moon passes between the Earth and the Sun, blocking all or a portion of the Sun. An eclipse can be total, partial, or annular.

What is our sun made up of?

Our sun is made up of:

1. Hydrogen
2. Helium
3. Nitrogen
4. Carbon
5. Oxegen
6. Neon
7. Iron
8. Silicon
9. Magnesium
10. Sulphur

The planets order:

mercury-venus-Earth-Mars-jupiter-Saturn-uranus-neptune

Mercury: A big ball of stone and rocks (pretty much another Moon)

Venus: second brightest planet and was named afterromn god of  LOVE AND BEAUTY.

Earth: how to describe- once was beauty now a reck and doom of a planet. (pretty much a living HELL)

Mars: Mars is the fourth planet from the Sun and is the second smallest planet in the solar system. Named after the Roman god of war, Mars is also often described as the “Red Planet” due to its reddish appearance. Mars is a terrestrial planet with a thin atmosphere composed primarily of carbon dioxide. Equatorial Diameter: 6,792 km it's also famous for its red eye.

Distance from Sun: 227.9 million km

Orbital period: 687 days

Length of day: 1d 0h 37m

Gravity: 3.711 m/s²

Moons: Phobos, Deimos

Jupiter:

• Jupiter Is Massive: 
• Jupiter Cannot Become A Star: 
• Jupiter Is The Fastest Spinning Planet In The Solar System: 
• The Clouds On Jupiter Are Only 50 km Thick: 
• The Great Red Spot Has Been Around For A Long Time:
• Jupiter Has Rings: 
• Jupiter's Magnetic Field Is 14 Times Stronger Than Earth's: 
• Jupiter Has 67 Moons:

Saturn: is famous for the most visible Ring.

Saturn is one of the gas giants.

Saturn is an evil planet it has cold shards of ice stones and rocks in the belt ring.

Uranus:

Neptune:  

• It takes Neptune 164.8 Earth years to orbit the Sun. On 11 July 2011, Neptune completed its first full orbit since its discovery in 1846.
• Neptune was discovered by Jean Joseph Le Verrier. The planet was not known to ancient civilizations because it is not visible to the naked eye. The planet was initially called Le Verrier after its discoverer. This name, however, was quickly abandoned and the name Neptune was chosen instead.
• Neptune is the Roman God of the Sea. In Greek, Neptune is called Poseidon.
• Neptune has the second-largest gravity of any planet in the solar system – second only to Jupiter.
• The orbit path of Neptune is approximately 30 astronomical units (AU) from the Sun. This means it is around 30 times the distance from the Earth to the Sun.
• The largest Neptunian moon, Triton, was discovered just 17 days after Neptune itself was discovered.
• Neptune has a storm similar the Great Red Spot on Jupiter. It is commonly known as the Great Dark Spot and is roughly the size of Earth.
• Neptune also has a second storm called the Small Dark Spot. This storm is around the same size as Earth’s moon.
• Neptune spins very quickly on its axis. The planets equatorial clouds take 18 hours to complete one rotation. The reason this happens is that Neptune does not have a solid body.
• Only one spacecraft, the Voyager 2, has flown past Neptune. It happened in 1989 and captured the first close-up images of the Neptunian system. It took 246 minutes – four hours and six minutes – for signals from Voyager 2 to reach back to Earth.
• The climate on Neptune is extremely active. In its upper atmosphere, large storms sweep across it and high-speed solar winds track around the planet at up to 1,340 km per second. The largest storm was the Great Dark Spot in 1989 which lasted for around five years.
• Like the other outer planets, Neptune has a ring system, though its rings are very faint. They are most likely made up of ice particles and grains of dust with a carbon-based substance coating them.
• Neptune has 14 known moons. The largest of these moons is Titan – a frozen world which spits out particles of nitrogen ice and dust from below its surface. It is believed that Titan was caught by the immense gravitational pull of Neptune and is regarded as one of the coldest worlds in our solar system.
• Neptune has an average surface temperature of -214°C – approximately -353°F.

Did we really land on the moon

Ethics of space travel: book space is very large it has infinite area and new is discovered a lot
