Woah! That Blows My Mind!!

Did you know that...

• The sun is actually a star
• The sun produces its own light
• The moon does not!
• If the earth was the size of a tennis ball, the sun would be the size of a two lane highway!
• Light years is the distance that light can travel in a year
• There are red giants and blue giants that are really hot stars
• Different elements from the periodic table are used to produce different coloured fireworks
• The earth is not actually round and is tilted
• Earth is the fifth biggest planet
• Pluto is a dwarf planet
• The Oort Cloud is an extended shell of icy objects
• The bigger the planet the larger the force of gravity
• Sun's gravitational pull holds the planets in orbit around it
• A moon orbits another body but is not a star, our moon orbits Earth in 28 days
• The sun gives the moon its light
• The moon does not spin
• China is trying to build a new moon! What??!!
• Do the moons of other planets reflect on our moon??
• Mercury and Venus have no moons - AJ thinks they are too small to have enough gravitational pull to grab a moon!
• Saturn has 62 moons!
