How the sun had Impact on us?

Have you ever wondered how the sun has an impact on us? Well you will soon find out. The sun is one of the most important things ever. We would be dead without it.

The sun as a massive impact on us because if there was no sun we would be dead but if there was no atmosphere we would also be dead. The sun has impact on a lot of things plants and plenty of other things including us. If there was no sun, the plants would not grow because, they need water and sunlight. Even though the sun is a dwarf star, it is close to us enough to keep our planet spinning every day. 

Our sun is a fiery gas ball but it contains heat that beams down on us. The beams would be much hotter if we did not have our atmosphere. Did you know the sun has impact on the moon? The moon shines down when the sun is not facing us so there is light up in the night sky. The moon gets it's brightness from the sun because, the sun shines on to the moon and the light reflects down onto earth. Some houses are solar powered so if the sun stopped working they would have no power. Our sun is a massive chunk of our planet. It keeps us living. The sun beats down on us and gives us everything we need. 

This is how the sun has impact on us. The sun is a key thing in a humans life cycle as well as plants and trees. The sun is a massive part of peoples lives.

Milky Ways/Galaxies

WALT take effective notes

My Topic: Milky Way/ Galaxies

Key Words:

Elliptical, hydrogen, Lenticular galaxies, irregular galaxies 

Interesting Facts: A Galaxie is a massive group of stars.

The Greek word galaxies means milky.

There could be 180 billion galaxies.

In a Huge galaxy there could be up to 10 trillion stars.

Our galaxie contains about 400 billion stars.

The largest local galaxie is the Andromedd.

Gravity can pull galaxies into new shapes

Any new questions I have:

How have they discovered it is spiral? What if it is not.

How come they called it the Milky Way?

Why do people call it spilled milk?

How come the Milky Way has so many planets and stars in it.

Is there a black hole in the centre of the Milky Way? 

If there is a black hole is the centre of the Milky Way? Where does it take you?

Who decided it would be called the Milky Way?

How big is the Milky Way in diameter?

What is the Milky Way made out of? 

Does the Milky Way have a atmosphere?

Is there any other planets that have life on the? 

Is there something else in the Milky Way that is not a moon, star or a planet?

Who started the saying it looks like spilled milk?

How was the Milky Way created?

Who found out we were in the Milky Way?

Why do they think we are in the Milky Way? What if we are not?

Does the Milky Way move around or does it stay still?

How come you can not see other galaxy's they are so big?

In comparison what would be the Milky Way and what would we be a sand speck or and the Milky Way a tennis ball?

Do any other planets in the Milky Way have gravity?

Could you get passed the black hole or portal.

How did there get to be so many stars and planets in the night sky

How many galaxies have we actually found out about? 

Texts I have used (includes websites, videos, multimedia):

I have used the doc Mr M shared with us and

 Wikipedia on the Milky Way.

My Big question is......

How does the Milky Way work?

How hot is the sun?

How hot is the sun.

The sun is 93 million miles away.

The hottest part of the sun is the core it gets up to 27 million Fahrenheit. In celsius that is 14999982.2 degrees.

Does the sun spin in a matter of fact it does it spins quite fast here is a photo of it spinning.

We also had to read these facts sort of thing after we did that. We had to play some games they were really fun. There was this one when there were some words and you had to match them. There were 5 words. There was one I had a rough idea of so I tried it and it was right. I was so pleased.

KWL Stars

Topic: STARS How do stars in the universe have an impact on us?

We are learning to explore, investigate, question and develop explanations.

K What I know...	W What I want to know...  ?	L What I learnt...
The sun is a small star and the closest. There is over 8 million stars in our galaxy. Exploding stars are called supernovas. Stars are all different colours depending on how hot they are. Some exploding stars can turn into black holes Mosts stars are based around the age 1 to 10 billion years old. Stars are held together by their own gravity. The sun is classified a dwarf star	Why stars are called stars? How stars made out of? What is the biggest star?	27/5/14 Stars are called star because from earth they look like the shape star. Stars are mainly made out of hydrogen and helium The biggest star known is vy canis majoris
