Planet Facts

We worked collaboratively to find lots of interesting facts about the planets in our solar system.

This is my first up timeline that I did for my IRC (Independent Reading Challenge). I had to put the parts in the article in order for the timeline.

My Special Friend - Tim

My Special friend

What is a special friend? Has this question ever made you think? A special friend is someone that accepts you for who you are not what you are and is always there for you when you need it. My special friend is Susu. She is always made me laugh and we always talk to each other 24/7.

Susu is a loyal friend. She is always responsible for the things she owns and always cleans up the house when her mother is not there. She is really faithful and devoted friend. Susu is a true-hearted friend.

Susu and I always laughed. We always joke around and have fun. We tell jokes at each other but sometimes they are not funny but then it ends up becoming funny. We laugh at our mistakes and sometimes we laugh at other peoples mistakes too. Susu and I always giggled at the little things that happen.

Me and Susu always tell each other secrets. It is like a secret circle but with just only two of us. We talk about mysterious and secretive things. We talk about each other secrets and have a bit of a laugh. Me and Susu are really mysterious sneaky. We don’t like people eavesdropping on our secrets, so we talk quietly and mysteriously. Me and Susu always tell each other secretive things.

We need a special friend because we wouldn’t have anyone to talk to that gets us in our own way. We would become really bored and have no one to talk to.  If I didn’t have a special friend like Susu I wouldn’t have to share my secrets with anyone and swim with anyone. This is why Susu is my special friend. She is loyal, kind and caring to one another.

Day/Night Explanation - Tim

Why aren’t stars visible in the daytime?

Not many people know that stars stay in their rightful place in the sky. We can’t see the stars in the daytime because of the glare of sunlight. The blue colour in sunlight is spread across Earth’s atmosphere blocking the vision of the stars. Do you know what a star actually is?

So... What is a star? We see stars on most clear nights as tiny, twinkling points in the sky. A star is a bright ball of gas, mostly hydrogen and helium, held together by it’s own gravity. Hydrogen and helium is the most lightest elements in the universe.

First of all according to current star formation theory, stars are born as groups within gigantic gas in on themselves.  When the gas reaches up to 10 million, hydrogen nuclei begin to fuse with helium nuclei and the star is born.

Most star colour relies on it’s temperature. Hotter stars are blue and cooler stars are red. The most massive and hottest stars exhaust their energy supply within a few million years. Tiny, cool red dwarf stars can keep burning for about up to a billion years

It is very clear that stars are twinkling points in the sky which light up our night, but the vision of the stars are blocked by the blue sunlight in the day time. Stars will always be blocked by the blue sunlight and will enlighten in the night time.
