Solar System Questions

In room 19 our teacher Mr Harris gave all of us students questions about the solar system. Hope this information has helped you know a little bit about Venus and Mars

Why is Venus the brightest object in the sky besides the sun and the moon? Does Mars have two moons? why?

Yes, Venus is one of the brightest objects in the night sky. Venus is
so bright because its thick clouds reflect most of the sunlight that
reaches it (about 70%) back into space, and because it is the closest
planet to Earth. Venus can often be seen within a few hours after
sunset or before sunrise as the brightest object in the sky (other
than the moon). It looks like a very bright star. Venus is the
brightest planet in the solar system.

Yes, Mars has two small moons named Phobos and Deimos. Their names
mean fear and panic in Latin. Phobos and Deimos are not round like our
moon. They are much smaller and have irregular shapes. Phobos is 13.8
miles (22.2 km) across and Deimos is only 7.8 miles (12.6 km) across.
Both moons are covered with craters and are made of rock and iron. It
is possible that Phobos and Deimos were two asteroids which were
captured by the gravity of Mars.

My Dream "Outta This World" Holiday.

‘My dream Outta This World Holiday.’
‘Bring........’ screamed the alarm. I tried to ignore it. I wanted to stay in my dream. My dream ‘Outta This World’ holiday.

When I woke up, I realised that I was not at home. I started to wonder around to see what planet I was in. It was really strange waking up in a totally different planet! the weather was not that hot. As I was wondering around I saw one of my friends and so I ran over to her and asked “Do you know what planet we are in? And she said we are in Venus. I was thinking and thinking and then I asked my friend “I thought Venus will be hotter, because it is closer to the sun than Mercury!

I really did not know where I was then, but I just kept on wondering around. I noticed that I was really far from home and then suddenly a loud noise rang, Then i woke up and I thought to myself thank Goodness I am at home! .
