Our Solar System
Explanation Checklist
Does it have a title to tell you what the writing is about?
Our Solar System
Is there a general opening statement?
Did you know that Venus is the most mysterious planet in the Solar System?
Is it written in a series of logical steps?
I started from planets to different kind of stars
Do the steps continue until the explanation is complete?
My explanation started from my Introduction, next my 1st explanation, then my 2nd explanation and only the last line of my conclusion.
Is it written in simple present tense?
It is because Venus rotates in the opposite direction to all planets in the Solar System.
Does it use time connectives?
The universe was born 13.8 billion years ago.
Does it use causal connectives?
Uranus spins sideways, it be because, it had a collision with an Earth-sized object long ago.
Are there diagrams or illustrations to help with the explanation?
Introduction
Did you know that Venus is the most mysterious planet in the Solar System. Do you know why? It's because Venus rotates in the opposite direction to all planets in the Solar System. It also takes Venus a very long time to spin, it takes Venus 250 Earth days to spin one time although it takes Earth only 1 Earth day.
Explanation 1
Uranus spins sideways, it could be because, it had a collision with an Earth-sized object long ago. Uranus is the only planet that tilts almost around a right angle which is at 97.77 degrees which is so close to 90 degrees. Jupiter rotates about every ten hours which is really fast. Jupiter is a Gas Giant. Jupiter is the biggest planet in the Solar System. Jupiter is called a Gas Giant because it is mostly made of helium and hydrogen. Jupiter has really strong tornadoes, 3 times stronger than Earth’s most intense tornadoes! The biggest tornado is called The Great Red Spot, The Great Red Spot is 10,159 miles, and 16,350 wide which is about 3 times the size of Earth. That must be asking you, how much Earths will fit in Jupiter? Round about 1,000 Earths will fit in Jupiter!
Explanation 2
Our Sun is a dwarf Sun. Our Sun is one of the smallest Suns of all, the biggest Sun in the universe is called the UY Scuti it is a variable hypergiant with a radius somewhere around 1,700 times larger than our Sun! The UY Scuti is around 1.1883 billion kilometres! If the UY Scuti were in the centre of our Solar System, it’s photo-sphere, or outer shell would just reach past Jupiter’s orbit. That how big the UY Scuti is!
Conclusion
Space exploration would help get achieve a better future, pursuit the economy, and increase raw material. Space exploration is risky for increasing our understanding of life in the universe, developing science, increasing our technology, inspiring future space generations and tracking global concerns. The universe was born 13.8 billion years ago! The Sun only produces only a third of the neutrinos expected.
