Sol
The Sun or Sol is in our solar system,and it is in the centre. The closest planet to the sun is Mercury. Do you think it is the hottest? Well it’s not just because Mars is far away does not mean that Mercury is the hottest that is right Mars is the hottest planet. That is why the U.S president is gonna launch real people to Mars in the year 2020.

Produces
The sun’s heat could protently give us heat and light but just stop right there because the sun gives us our vegetables and our solar energy. The sun’s heat will take 8 minutes to travel to the earth and can possibly take forever.

Inner Core
If you just did not know that the hottest bit of the sun is it is the Inner core because when I five I thought the heat came from Mars, but it came from itself.

Sol & Gravity
If you do not know what Sol means it is another word for the sun. Gravity is when you cannot float and when your in space you can float because there is no gravity holding them down.

Solar Energy
The energy Gives us our apples and fruits from our trees. And provides us our veggies to eat. It also gives us sun burns but people still do not care what so ever.

Conclusion
The sun is a yellow Humounges dwarf star where people should not go because it will burn and it is not where you should go on Vacation.


NASA


The reason why the astronauts are chosen because the chief of NASA chooses the 4 that get to go. But they also would pretty much die from the dust storms and other elements in mars.

Neptune

Facts about Neptune

Neptune was the first plant to be discovered only through mathematical calculations rather than astronomical observations.
Neptune is the eighth planet from the Sun making it the most distant in the solar system.  Gas giant planet caThiss formed much closer to the Sun in early solar system. Also Neptune is unique for being a big blue ball of ice and neptune is called a gas giant and also it does not have mountains for not having any solid surface. It takes 168 years for neptune to orbit the sun-Leon

Climate/Temperature
Do you know that neptune temperature is about 214 cecilus and did you know why neptune is really cold,it is because neptune is the farest from the sun/sol. Neptune is the strangest planet on the solar system because when  nasa discovered neptune they were searching some mysterious about the planet, well they got something it was the wind going on those winds is extremely high.

Discovery
Neptune was discovered in the year 1846, The discoverers of Neptune were John Adams,Johann Gottfried and Urbain Verrier he did poetry in his life. Did you know that Neptune was discovered on the 23rd September 1846. The discoverers were John Adams, Johann Gottfried and Urbain Verrier. Johann GottFried did poetry and literacy to.

Feature’s
The features to neptune is it has lots of storms, tornados also cold, dark, windy and mysterious Uranus, Neptune's blue color is the result of red light being absorbed by methane gas in the planet's upper atmosphere.

Location
Neptune is the farest planet from the sun. it A icy gas giant. Mercury venus earth and mass are small planets because the sun gives the hydrogen ti the planets.

Conclusion
People can’t live in Neptune because they could freeze. Also people would die  because they can’t make plants like vegetables, also their shelter will break because of the tornados and bad Disasters that happened there, And they could not have anyThing to eat.

The Sun!

What is the sun?
The sun is a star that is part of our solar system. The sun sits at the centre of the solar system, it is orbited by 8 planets which rotate at the same time. The sun is the biggest part of our solar system, but it’s small compared to other suns in other systems. The sun does not move because it’s a star.


What is the sun made of?
The sun is made of energy. The sun produces energy, called solar energy which can be used to power homes on Earth. The core is the hottest part of the sun, it is 27 million degrees F*/15 million degrees C*. It’s made of Hydrogen gas which is sometimes known as Hg.


What does the sun do?

When you try to travel to the sun you could get burnt but when you see the sun you might just seek total darkness when your around 20 to 15 ft away. On the earth you might be hot that is because every 8 minutes is maybe 1.5 degrees or 8 celsius. The sun gives the earth light and warmth. Sometimes we complain and do not like the sun but the sun produces energy for us.  The egyptians worshiped the sun like their leader.
