Leiite Team Four Star Dome Trip

On Thursday 4th of September Team was going to Star Dome. There was 2 groups the morning groups and the afternoon groups and I was in the afternoon group, There were 5 groups and 5 helpers, We were at school. We got there on a bus. We were with Mr Goodwin, Mr Goodwin’s Mum, Mr Goodwin’s step dad, Miss Parrant and Sam. All of the planets, solar system, stars, how big and small the planets are.The park was so cool there was a little house and a flying fox and inside of star dome there was planets made out of lego and then we went into the dome Mr Goodwin’s step dad said to me ”Do you know why they call it star dome?” and I said “No why?” and he said “We are in a dome and they are going to show stars on the dome.” There was a cool shop there I saw a alien. I learned that there was rocky planets and dwfs plant and midget plant and Mars is Earth’s closest neighbour. We can often see it in the sky without binoculars or a telescope. Earth is the 3rd rock from the sun and you have only ever seen one side of the moon, the moon isn’t made of cheese the surface of the moon is made of rock, a bit like that found on earth basalt anorthosites and breccias. Mars is approximately 228 million km from the sun and has a diameter of about 6,800 km. Light from the sun takes more than 8 minutes to reach earth 40 minutes to reach jupiter and 17 hours to get to the edge of the solar system the sun’s core is about 15,700,000 degrees celsius. The sun has 99% of the total mass of the solar system. Planets are the stuff leftover from making the sun, no one in the hole world have ever been farrer than Mars. Jupiter is approximately 778 million km from the sun Jupiter has at least 63 moons. When Venus is visible is the night sky the only abject brighter in the sky is the moon. One year on Mercury is only 88 Earth days long. Neptune is the planet furthest from the sun it’s a remote 4,497 million km away Saturn is a gas giant just like Jupiter. Uranus is 2,871 million km from the sun, You can’t see Neptune with the naked eye so it was discovered after the moons of Jupiter which are very small but closer. On 20 july 1969 Neil Armstrong made history by walking onto the moon he was the first person to do that and Earth is the only planet not named after a God. So I learned a lot of things that day and you should go star dome one day and look at all the cool stuff.
