Stars

Kia Ora bloggers and viewers!

Today I will be sharing some astonishing facts about the stars. I found it quite confusing to learn about the stars because I dont really know there role in the sky or what they’re even made of.

It was really fun to learn what a shooting star is really made of.

Here are some interesting facts, I hope you learn something new!

Star facts

1. Did you know that the sun is actually not the biggest star? There are way bigger stars than the sun, in the constellation Orion, on his knee is a blue super giant star called Rigel. This star is 2 times hotter and x70 bigger!

2. The stars have different colours, blue, white, red and orange. Did you know that the blue stars are the hottest stars and the red stars are the coolest! A good example is when using a gas stove the blue fire is hotter than the orange\red fire.

3. Did you know that the stars are made of helium and hydrogen just like the sun.

4. The Proxima Centauri is the closest star to the sun and this star is a red dwarf.

5. The stars can have different sizes and colours which is why they are called “red dwarfs” or “blue supergiants”.

 

Shooting star facts

1. Shooting stars aren’t actually stars because stars are made of gasses which means it cant be a falling rock.

2. Shooting stars are actually small particles of a comet, asteroid or a meteoroid that shoots down into Earth’s atmosphere.

3. Earths gravitational force pulls the particles and they go through Earths atmosphere.

4. In some cases the particle can turn into dust. In other cases they can turn into a fireball and shower down on Earth called a meteor shower.

 

 

 

 

 

 

3 Space things explanation ๐Ÿš€

Kia Ora!

Today my class had to write 3 things that we would take into space.

I picked three things then our teacher told us that we had to write explanations on why we would bring them. My favourite part was writing the explanations on why I would bring water. The process that was very hard was finding ideas on my text on why I would bring a special spacesuit other than just writing for protection.

Take a look at my explanation writing! โฌ‡

Why I would bring these three items to space ๐Ÿš€

I am going to tell you the three things you must bring into space! You need to bring something into space otherwise you won’t survive! You need many things, but I will point out the main three ones.

 

First of all, you absolutely can not survive without any water because of the low oxygen supply in the spaceship! It also won’t be a matter of minutes until you start feeling dehydrated and nauseous. You also need it for other things like cleaning space gear and yourself. I would use water because maybe I have to stay a long time in space and I need to clean myself because some people stay for long periods of time in space. I would also use water because I might get my gear dirty on a planet and I can’t bring it in the spaceship.

 

Secondly, you absolutely need to bring a special space suit. You need to protect yourself on different chilly cold planets and scorching hot ones! Also it provides oxygen while you’re in space. Space suits also provide protection from harmful gases floating in the atmosphere. I would bring one so that I can walk around, explore and take samples.

 

Lastly, I think you should bring a camera. You can take amazing pictures, show family and friends and even more! Imagine being the first person to land on a planet, even better, you have some photos of different views on the planet! You just made history forever in that case.ย  You might also discover something odd and mysterious about the planet and take a picture.

 

That is my point of view, because who wouldn’t want to drink water, have a safe suit and create history on a planet? I think that if I had to bring 3 things I would bring these three.

About the Moon ๐ŸŒ ๐ŸŒ‘๐ŸŒœ

About the Moon ๐ŸŒ›

Talofa Lava!

Today we had to study some stuff about the Moon, we got whiteboards and wrote some keywords that would help us make sentences of the Moon.

I am here to tell you what I know about the Moon.

The Moon is a big rock floating in the sky. The hard part was to find some keywords about the Moon and the fun part was learning about what orbits.

  • There is a big rock in the sky that is called our Moon, earth only has one Moon and some other planets have no moons or over 100 moons.
  • The Moon orbits the Earth and Earth orbits the sun.
  • The Moon has different shapes and that is called the lunar phases, Lunar phases are caused by the atmosphere.
  • The Moon has 8 different phases. It takes the Moon 28 days to make a full trip around earth which is a month.
  • The Moon has no light because it is made out of rock and metal. It actually reflects light from the sun which creates the illusion of moonlight.
  • The Moon is a satellite, a natural, one that humans didn’t create.
  • A satellite is anything that orbits earth. The Moon is the cause of low tide and high tide because of the force of gravity pulling the water.ย 

Bye every one! Come back for more next time!!

 

 

Gravity explanation

Kia Ora!

Today my class had to write explanations about gravity.

It was hard to have ideas about gravity since I don’t know much.

It was very fun to write paragraphs of how gravity makes a huge impact on our life’s.

Here is my explanation I hope you learn something!

ย Do you wonder if there is gravity anywhere in space?

What is gravity?

I will tell you what gravity is, who discovered gravity and what gravity does for us. Gravity is something that draws all objects, creatures and everything to earth including us. It’s something in the earth that sticks us to the ground. Some scientists think that the black hole in the centre of the Milky way is the cause of gravity.

 

Who discovered gravity?ย 

There is a person who discovered gravity 300 years ago, his name was Isaac Newton. He was just sitting under an apple tree, when an apple fell on him. He thought of why things fall down and never stay up? He researched until he found out that everything that goes up will always go down because we have gravity.

 

What does gravity do for us?

Gravity makes us stay on the ground. The gravity on earth pulls us towards the centre. There is no gravity in space, that is why no one can survive in space without special suits. That is the reason why we walk with our feet on the ground and the reason we carry our weight, however if earth didn’t have gravity all objects would be up in space orbiting forever. I wonder if there is gravity anywhere in space? If there was no gravity nothing would be on the ground.

Conclusion

I learnt that nothing that goes in the sky stays there because of gravity. I find it cool how gravity pulls us to the center of the earth. I think that gravity is really important because everything would be floating, including us.

 

 

 

The Milky Way

Milky way

Hola friends!

Today we made individual slideshows answering questions about the milky way.

Here is my slideshow, it was really hard to find the 2 main parts of the milky way and understand what they are. The milky way is the galaxy we live in. Our earth is 26,670 light years away from the centre of the milky way.

The fun part was learning about the galaxies near the milky way, the answer is in the slideshow below!

Bye everyone! Enjoy the slideshow. Hopefully you’ll learn something new!

See you later bloggers and viewers..
