The Moon is far away because it likes to play hide and seek with us! ๐โจ It moves around the Earth in a big circle, and sometimes it looks closer, sometimes farther.
Imagine the Moon is like a big balloon tied to a stringโit can't come too close, or it might pop! ๐
Spacesuits are like special superhero costumes for astronauts! ๐ฆธโโ๏ธ They keep them safe in space where there's no air to breathe and it's very cold or hot.
Here's what they do:
The suit is like a bubble around the astronaut with a helmet so they can see where they're going!
The International Space Station (ISS) is a big, shiny house in space! ๐ It flies around Earth really fastโlike a super-fast airplane! ๐ฉ๏ธ Astronauts from different countries live there and do fun science experiments. They float because there's no gravity in space! ๐ช
It's like a giant toy box where scientists learn new things about space and Earth. ๐โจ
Some planets have moons because they are like big space magnets! ๐ When a planet is very big and strong, it can pull smaller rocks or balls of ice to stay close to it. These rocks or ice balls become moons! ๐
For example, Earth has one moon, but Jupiter has 79 moons because it's much bigger!
GPS is like a magic map in the sky! ๐โจ Tiny satellites (like stars) fly around the Earth and send signals to your phone or car. When your device gets signals from at least 3 satellites, it can tell exactly where you are! ๐๐ฑ
It helps parents find the way to the zoo or the ice cream shop! ๐ฆ๐ฆ
The Moon doesn't fall to Earth because it's always moving around us, like a big ball swinging on a string! ๐๐
Imagine you're spinning a ball on a stringโit doesn't fall because it's moving fast. The Moon moves super fast around Earth, so it stays up in the sky!
๐ The universe is like a big, big balloon that is growing! There is no center because it grows everywhere at the same time. Imagine you are a tiny dot on the balloonโwhere is the center? Everywhere! ๐
So, the universe doesn't have a centerโit's just all around us, stretching and growing!
There are so many stars in the sky that we can't count them all! ๐ They twinkle like tiny lights at night.
If you look up, you might see hundreds, but there are actually billions and billions of stars in space! โจ
Time is like a river that never stops! ๐ It moves forward, just like the hands on a clock. You can't see it, but you can feel it when you grow taller or when the seasons change.
Time helps us know when to wake up, eat, play, and sleep. โฐ It's always flowing, just like water in a stream!
Time is like a river ๐ that only flows in one directionโforward! Just like you can't make a river flow backwards, we can't go back in time. But that's okay because every day is a new adventure! ๐
Fun Fact: Did you know that some clocks have hands that move only forward? Just like time! โฐ
