good afternoon so nice to see how many of you are joining Facebook each day whether to see a video or to practice math with mr. moment slow down and give people just a little bit of time you can always go back on our Facebook page to look at previous videos whether math or reading also our videos will now be posted on site so you can access set recording stair as well but he who does not have Facebook can access our recordings on the website also today is school spirit Day for Spirit Week my cruise Dragon sweatshirt tomorrow is get cozy day so tomorrow you can wear your pajamas all day long and that will conclude spirit the following week the week of April 6th spring break so we will still distribute food at school every day between 10 a.m. and 12 p.m. or package distributed on Wednesday you can continue schools website during spring break alright let's go ahead and get started with our story today so instead of another fictional made-up story today we're going to read some nonfiction informational book story that I'm going to read with you today is called a plan and he offer is Gail given very popular non-fiction author for Children sound diagram showing the solar system and nonfiction books often do have lots of charts and diagrams will probably see more as a reading this nonfiction text today on a clear night when stars Shone brightly you might see what looks like another star but each night itch his position in the star patterns it's actually a planet's the word planet comes from the Greek word meaning Wanderer a planet is different from a star people can see a planet because the Sun Shines on it a star shines because it is made up of gases that give off light and heat our son is a big star nearly every Star is much bigger than even the biggest planet now when we're reading a book like the planet or an on Action Tax we can learn a lot of information so right here maybe you learned for the first time that the sun is actually just a really really big star Vine that actually all of the stars are then all of the planets let's keep reading and learning in very early times people knew of only six planets they were Mercury Venus Earth Mars Jupiter stop these people named the planets after Greek and Roman gods and goddesses later within the last two Hundred Years War planet discovered their Uranus Neptune the planet Earth is where we live it is one of the nine planets that Circle the sun together the nine planets make up the main part of what is called the solar system the word solar connected to since all of the planets in the solar system Circle the Sun the nine planets circle around the Sun in task called orbit the time it takes for a planet to travel around the Sun which planet's orbit and year are different so we're learning here today as we're reading is nonfiction text and you can also learn a lot of new words and vocabulary when you're ready nonfiction or infirm so here maybe you learned the word and learned that in a bit if a planet's path around the Sun Wella plant it is moving another way to it's been or rotates also the time it takes a planet to rotate is called its dead each planet's day is different wild planet is rotating faces this. It's daytime when is facing the phone they're on the other side facing away from the sun it's dark and it's night time people can look up on a clear night might see Mercury Venus Mars Jupiter and Saturn planet a planet looks like a steady point of light where the star twinkle a telescope is needed to see Uranus Neptune they are very far away from planet Earth fiction books often tend to have different opinions the right here we have a heading about Mercury these two pages were going to read more about the planet Mercury of the nine planets Mercury is the planet closest to the Sun it is about 36 million away from the Sun during the day it is extremely hot during the night it is bitter cold because makery doesn't have any atmosphere to keep the key scaping Mercury second smallest planet of the nine planets and it's made up of rock and metal one year on Mercury is only 88 birthdays that's how long it takes Mercury to orbit the Sun Mercury rotate Swiss days are very long a day on Mercury is 59 Earth days now I had her says Venus is the second planet from the sun it is the brightest object in our Sky other than our sun and moon at sunrise and sunset it looks like a big bright star it is bright because Dana has a cover that reflects the sunlight these clouds are made up of gases Venus is about 67 million miles away from the Sun it is hot their Venus is almost the same size as one year on Venus is about 225 Earth days a day on Venus is about 243 or stays long because Venus rotate very strongly so I'm Venus a day is longer than a year the year is shorter than a day that's because it orbits and rotates at different speeds. speaking of Earth I next category Earth is the third planet from the Sun it is the only planet known to have just the right environment for plants and people to live in Earth is 93 million miles from the Sun see a little better text me back and maybe you just learned that Earth is actually the only planet we're plants and animals and people keep reading the planet earth has just enough grab atmosphere around Earth has a Moon the Moon causes the tides to change making them rise and fall Earth orbits the Sun in about 365 to make a nurse hear it rotates every 20 4 hours to make an Earth Day my Mars is the fourth planet from the Sun 42 million miles away at one time people thought there might be creatures called Martian and other life forms on this planet they said Dusty lions and planet on my Surface people thought that they might be in the house of water in 1976 to spacecraft visited Mars when the spacecraft were there no sign of life so I've heard about Mars before in martians are aliens just read that when a spaceship went to Mars they found out that in fact there were not aliens on Mars there were not martians on Mars there's nothing living on Mars lyrics astronomers believe that Mars looks red because iron on its surface Rutherfordton by the planet's thin atmosphere it is very cold and it is a little more than half the size of Earth Mars has two small moons about two Earth years a day on Mars as long as a day on Earth Jupiter Jupiter is the fifth planet from the sun is about 484 Million Miles Away Jupiter is huge it is bigger than all the other planets put together and Jupiter has rings Jupiter is mostly made up of gases gases form a giant red circle on Jupiter called the Great Red Spot at least 16 moons orbit around Jupiter is the biggest moon in the solar system it is bigger even than the planet Mercury another Idol has many volcanoes one Jupiter year is about 12 or hears it is only 10 hours long Saturn Saturn is the sixth Tardis planet from the sun about 887 Million Miles Away it is the second largest planet Saturn hundreds of rings make it look different from other planets the Rings are made up of raw pictures of ice and dust that it is extremely cold Saturn has at least 24 movie more than any other planet Titan its largest moon is the only moon in the solar system with an atmosphere and clouds it takes almost 30 Earth years for Saturn to orbit the sun it rotates in about 11 stop lots to learn about Saturn here what didn't you like about Saturn have you been learning maybe you learned about how many rings Saturn has it has the most rings maybe you learned about it so it has the most all so we're going to keep keep thinking about what we're learning from this non-fiction book our next heading is Uranus will be learning about Uranus labral tear on all of our photos so we know we've started learning about Mercury and we read about Venus and Earth Mars Jupiter Saturn and as we continue moving out from the Sun label showing us that we're reading about Uranus now Uranus is the seventh planet from the sun it is about 1.8 billion miles away it is so far away that from its surface the sun would look Uranus has 10 Rings Uranus is the third biggest planet about one-third the size of Jupiter at least 15 moons orbit around Uranus planet farthest from the Sun have a longer orbit more time to travel around the Sun for Uranus to make one orbit takes about 84 years Earth years Uranus rotate in about 17 hours Neptune Neptune is the 8th farthest planet from the sun it is about 2.8 billion miles away next tune here's to be blue because of the gas in the atmosphere it is almost the same size as Uranus one of Neptune's eight rooms Triton is about the same size as Earth Moon the spacecraft major to visited Neptune in 1989 one Neptune 164 Earth years is 16 hours some of our tax teachers here in this nonsense are some more labels and so here you can see Voyager to this was that spaceship that visited Neptune back in 1989 this picture here has some label so it's labeling the blue gassy planet Neptune and its labeling this little spot down here and that's how you pronounce it Triton Pluto real usually is the ninth and farthest planet from the sun sometimes its orbit carries it closer to the Sun than Neptune at spider videos about 3.6 billion miles from the Sun where is the coldest and smallest planet it is smaller than the Earth's moon phone itself called Sean one year on Pluto is about 248 Earth years long a day on Pluto is about 6 Earth days long here again for the clothes you can see this picture has a label so we can read the label to learn more about what is in the picture it says an astronomer is someone who studies the stars and planets so these people here using a telescope must be astronomers turn on planet Earth astronomers search the skies through telescope spacecraft are sent into the solar system and Beyond in search of new discoveries we are always learning about the planets to stars and what Beyond is fun just search the night skies for planets and stars from our planet Earth a great non-fiction book by Gail Gibbons she is a very popular non-fiction informational text today you can type anything else that you learned into your Facebook chat here as we wrap up now today I C is in bright sunny day outside so maybe if tonight also is not cloudy if it's clear you might be able to peek outside and maybe see some of those lights that are playing sometimes we can eat and see stars any last things that you
