      The Sun is so big that you could fit more than a million Earths inside it!

      Mercury is the closest planet to the Sun but it doesn't have an atmosphere to trap heat thereby making it super hot during the day and freezing at night.

      Venus spins in the opposite direction to most planets causing the Sun to rise in the west and set in the east. Earth is the only planet known to have life and it's just the right distance from the Sun which is neither too hot nor too cold.

      Mars is often called the Red Planet because of its rusty color caused by iron oxide or rust on its surface.

      Jupiter is the largest planet in our solar system and it has a massive storm called the Great Red Spot that's been raging for centuries.

      Saturn's beautiful rings are made up of ice particles and some of them are as small as grains of sand.

      Uranus is a unique planet because it rotates on its side rolling along almost like a barrel as it orbits the Sun.

      Neptune has the fastest winds in the solar system reaching speeds of over 1,200 miles per hour!

      Pluto used to be considered the ninth planet but it was reclassified as a dwarf planet in 2006.

      Andromeda Galaxy is on a collision course with the Milky Way but don't worry it won't happen for billions of years.

      Black holes are mysterious objects in space with gravity so strong that nothing not even light can escape them.

      A shooting star is not a star at all but a tiny meteoroid burning up as it enters Earth's atmosphere.

      Comets are like icy, dirty snowballs that orbit the Sun and their tails always point away from the Sun.

      The Big Dipper is not a constellation but part of Ursa Major the Great Bear and it's visible in the northern sky.

      The Kuiper Belt is a region in the outer solar system where many comets come from.

      Great Barrier Reef on Earth is so large that it can be seen from space.

      Biggest canyon in our solar system is Valles Mariners on Mars - it's much larger than the Grand Canyon on Earth. Closest galaxy to us is the Andromeda Galaxy which is about 2.5 million light-years away.

      Some stars are so small and faint that they are called brown dwarfs instead of stars.

      Sun is a giant ball of hot glowing gas mostly made up of hydrogen and helium.

      The word astronaut means star sailor in Greek.

      The first dinosaur eggs were discovered in Mongolia in the 1920s.

      The first flying vertebrates called pterosaurs were not dinosaurs but they lived during the same time.

      The Velociraptor was more closely related to modern birds than it was to the larger T. rex.

      The stegosaurus had plates on its back that helped regulate its body temperature.

      Some dinosaurs like the Micropachycephalosaurus had thick domes on their heads that may have been used in headbutting contests.

      structures.
