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
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
Telescopes are like magic glasses that help us see faraway things! π They have big lenses or mirrors that collect light from stars, planets, and other objects in space.
When you look through a telescope, it makes faraway things look bigger and closer, just like a magnifying glass! π
Pluto used to be called a planet, but scientists decided it was too small and didn't act like other planets. π Now, it's called a "dwarf planet"βa tiny planet that lives far away in space!
Pluto is so small that it's even tinier than our Moon! π But it's still special because it has a big heart-shaped spot on it. β€οΈ
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!
Astronauts sleep in special sleeping bags that are attached to the walls of the spaceship! π Since there is no gravity in space, they can sleep anywhereβeven floating in the air! But they use sleeping bags so they don't float away while sleeping.
They also wear cozy pajamas and sometimes listen to soft music to help them fall asleep. πΆ
Mars looks red because it's covered in rusty dust! πβ¨ Just like how an old bike left outside turns orange, Mars has lots of iron (like in your toys) that got rusty over time.
The wind blows this dust all around, making the whole planet look red! π
The Milky Way is a big, shiny river of stars in the sky! π It looks like a white cloud at night, but it's actually made of billions of stars, just like our Sun. π
We live inside the Milky Way, so when we look up, we see it as a bright band across the sky. It's like being inside a giant sparkly whirlpool! 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!
Fingerprints are the tiny lines on your fingers! π€ They help you hold things tightly, like your favorite toy or a yummy cookie. πͺ
Every person has unique fingerprintsβno two are the same! Even twins have different ones! πΆπΆ
