Friday was a fun filled day in Room 17. We went to the Stardome and learnt all about the planets in the solar system. Here are a few interesting facts we learnt.
Did you Know...
- In 2006, astronomers changed the definition of a planet. This means that Pluto is now referred to as a dwarf planet
- Venus is the hottest planet in our solar system with a surface temperature of over 450 degrees celsius.
- Saturn isn't the only ringed planet, other gas giants such as Jupiter, Uranus and Neptune also have rings, they are just less obvious.
- Jupiter's 4 biggest moons are named Europa, Ganymede, Callisto and Io.
- The Sun is over 300000 times larger than earth.
it was fun

Hi room 17,
ReplyDeleteI like watching the 3D movie because you could lay down and look at the roof. I learnt about space. Did you know that the earth orbits around the sun.

Hello Room 17.
ReplyDeleteIt look's like the stardome was fun? I enjoyed watching the movie in the theatre because the Alien's were telling us about the planet's. Did you know that you can not land on the gas giants, like Jupiter.
