Test your fact knowledge as you look at some of the most captivating facts about planets of our Sun's System. Do you know that? The nine planets are the most important members of the Sun's System. In order of distance from the Sun, they are: Mercury, Venus, Earth, Mars, Jupiter, Saturn, Uranus, Neptune and Plato. Mercury, Venus, Earth and Mars, are small rocky bodies. Jupiter, Saturn, Uranus and Neptune are giants, made up mainly of gas. Pluto is tiny ball of rock and ice. The Sun is nearly ten times bigger across than Jupiter, and it could swallow more than a million Earths. Earth is bigger than four of the planets - nearby Venus, Mars and Mercury, and tiny distant Pluto. Jupiter is by far the largest of the planets and has more mass than all the other planets put together. Jupiter measure nearly 143 000 kilometers across, which is 11 times bigger than Earth. Even though Jupiter is so big, it takes less than 10 hours for it to spin round once: this means that its surface is spinning round at s speed of 45 000 km an hour. This is 30 times faster than Earth spins. Once it was thought that Saturn was the only planet that had rings around it because they were the only ones that can be seen through a telescope. Close-up photographs taken by the Voyager space probes have shown that the other three gas giants - Jupiter, Uranus and Neptune - have rings too, but their rings are much thinner, narrower and darker than Saturn's. Ancient astronomers could only see five planets in the night sky until 1781. In this year was built a telescope powerful enough to spot Uranus. Uranus was the first of three "new" planets to be discovered after 1781. Neptune was discovered in 1846. Pluto was discovered in 1930. Saturn is surrounded by a set of bright, shining rings and when you look at the planet though a telescope it is very beautiful. Saturn is the lightest (last dense) of the planets. It is lighter even than water - if you could place it in a huge bowl of water, it would float. Pluto travels more than 7000 million kilometers away from the Sun. It takes nearly 248 Earth years to circle the Sun once. Mercury is the planet closest to the Sun. Mercury is the fastest-moving planet, whizzing round the Sun in just 88 days. Being close to the Sun, Mercury gets extremely hot. As you read this book over and over to your child it won't be long before they are the ones pointing to the picture and telling you what it is.

Download or read book Volcanoes 100 Illustrated Fun Facts written by Katy Gleit and published by Osmora Incorporated. This book was released on 2014-11-05 with total page 25 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This picture book is a great teaching tool for your little one and for you. It is like illustrated encyclopedia of volcanoes for every kid. The pictures are clear and the colors are nice. If you are ready to challenge your mind and prove to everyone that you are the king of volcanoes knowledge, then pick up this book and prepare for the ultimate trivia experience. Test your fact knowledge as you look at some of the most captivating facts about volcanoes. Do you know that? Japan has 10% of the world’s active volcanoes. Iceland is made up almost entirely of volcanic rocks like those found on the ocean floor. It gradually built up above sea level through intense and prolonged eruptions. In August 1986, a cloud mixture of carbon dioxide and water rose from Lake Nyos, a crater lake in Cameroon (western Africa). The heavy gas cloud flowed downhill and gathered in the valleys, asphyxiating 1,700 people and 3,500 livestock living in the villages below. An acid lake in the crater of Kawah-Idjen in Indonesia absorbs gases rising from the volcano, creating a lake so toxic it can burn through human flesh in minutes Magma is Latin for “dregs of ointment,” which derives from the Proto Indo-European mag meaning “kneading.” The term “magma” in its geological sense as molten rock was first used in 1865. The earliest known picture of a volcano is the nearly 8,000-year-old wall painting of an eruption of Hasan Dag volcano in Turkey. The houses of a town, Çatalhöyük, can be seen at the mountain’s base. In Japan, “baths” in warm volcanic sand are believed to cure many illnesses. The largest volcano found in the solar system is Olympus Mons on Mars, though it is now extinct. Venus may have at one time produced more volcanoes than any other planet in our solar system, though they are all now extinct. While no other planet besides Earth shows active volcanoes, Io, one of Jupiter’s moons, shows volcanoes that are erupting. The most lava ever recorded from a single eruption was the 1783 Laki eruption in Iceland. Though there was no single big explosion, this eruption killed one fourth of Iceland’s population by producing poisonous gases and clouds of ash that resulted in widespread crop failure and starvation.

The smallest dinosaurs were called Lesothosaurus, they were about the size of a chicken. The biggest dinosaur ever is believed to be a Sauropod called Amphicoelias. This gigantic dinosaur could have reached as long 60 metres (200 feet) in length and weighed up to 120 tons. The weight of one Argentinosaurus was 120 tons – equal to 100 elephants. Birds descended from a type of dinosaurs known as theropods. Tyrannosaurus lived throughout what is now western North America 67 to 65.5 million years ago. Tyrannosaurus was a carnivore with a massive skull balanced by a long, heavy tail. Although other theropods rivaled or exceeded Tyrannosaurus rex in size, it was the largest known tyrannosaurid and one of the largest known land predators, the most complete specimen measuring up to 12.3 m (40 ft) in length, up to 4 meters (13 ft) tall at the hips, and up to 6.8 metric tons in weight. The undisputed king of the Cretaceous, this dinosaur may have lived to the ripe old age of 100 years. These dinosaurs had the longest teeth of any known dinosaur, sturdy backbones, and muscular necks. Man evolved around 65 million year after dinosaurs became extinct. The skull of a Tyrannosaurus rex alone measured up to 1.5m (5ft) long.
