Space Explorers: By Hayden Sweeney

So you want to know about space, right? Well, go on and learn.                                                                                                                                                 Inside space’s home                                                                        In space there are in fact very interesting things. Comets, moons, meteors, and stars. Lots of stars. One of the most important, and maybe the most thing in space is the sun. Without the sun, we would have no light, the sky would always be super dark, and we probably wouldn’t even exist in the first place. And animals wouldn’t exist either. Lets talk about the planets in space. You may think there are only eight and then a dwarf planet(Pluto). But there are way more.                                                                                                                                                       Mercury                                                                 Mercury is the first planet from the sun. At day, Mercury’s temperatures soar to up to 817 degrees. At night, it drops down to –55. Mercury is also very rocky. In 1990, a rover was sent to Mercury and it took a picture of a rock that was like a burgundy color. It takes Mercury just 88 days to orbit the sun.                                                                                                                                                         Venus                                                                      Venus is the second planet from the sun. It is also the hottest planet in our solar system. The temperature can be up to 920 degrees. Venus has a lot of gas. A whole lot. It takes Venus 255 days to orbit the sun.                                                                           Earth
