The desert is hot because the sun shines very brightly there! βοΈ It doesn't rain much, so there are no clouds to block the sun. The sand gets really warm, just like when you sit on a sunny beach!
Deserts are big and open, so the sun can heat everything up easily. π΅
Earth is round like a big ball because of gravity! π Gravity pulls everything towards the center, making it round. Imagine squishing a snowball in your handsβit becomes round too!
Our planet is very big and heavy, so gravity makes it nice and round, just like the Moon and the Sun!
π The Sun is like a big, friendly giant holding a magical rope! It pulls the planets around it because it's very heavy and strong. Just like how you spin a ball on a string, the Sun keeps the planets spinning around it!
β¨ The planets don't fall into the Sun because they're moving super fast, like a merry-go-round! π
The tallest mountain in the world is Mount Everest! π It's so high that it touches the sky! π People climb it, but it's very cold and windy up there. βοΈ
Mount Everest is in a place called the Himalayas, between two countries: Nepal and China. πΊοΈ
Rivers start when tiny drops of water from rain or melting snow come together! π§οΈ They flow down hills and mountains, joining other little streams. The more water they collect, the bigger they grow, just like a river! ποΈ
Rivers love to travel and can go very far, sometimes all the way to the ocean! π
A galaxy is a huge group of stars π, planets, and space dust that all stick together because of gravity. Imagine it like a big, sparkly city in space! Our home, the Earth, is in a galaxy called the Milky Way π₯.
Galaxies come in different shapesβsome look like spinning pinwheels, and others are round like balls!
A shooting star π is not really a star! It's a tiny piece of rock or dust from space that falls into our sky. When it moves very fast, it gets hot and glows brightly like a little sparkle β¨. It looks like a star is falling, but it's just a space visitor saying hello!
Next time you see one, make a wish! π
Satellites stay in space because they are moving super fast! π Just like when you swing a ball on a string, it goes around and around. Satellites zoom around the Earth so quickly that they don't fall down. πβ¨
They are like little space cars driving in circles around our planet!
Some rocks have shiny crystals inside because they were made very slowly deep underground! πβ¨ When hot melted rock (called magma) cools down over a long time, tiny crystals grow inside it like magic. The slower it cools, the bigger the crystals!
Imagine making ice cubesβif you freeze water slowly, you get big ice cubes. But if you freeze it fast, they stay small. Rocks with crystals are like that too!
Some trees lose their leaves in autumn π because it gets too cold for them! They take a little nap until spring comes. πΈ Other trees, like pine trees, keep their leaves all year because their leaves are like little green needles that donβt mind the cold! βοΈ
Itβs like how you wear a coat in winter, but some animals have fur all the time!
