天上有什么？

在我们的世界之外

仰望天空

你是否好奇地问过：天上有什么？

让我们一起来发现天空

恒星

在一个晴朗的夜晚，你能看到很多恒星。

恒星是太空中的物体，它们是由燃烧的气体构成的。

星星看上去很小，因为它们离我们很远。

太阳是一颗恒星。

它是唯一一个我们在白天能看见的星。

有些星星的组合有自己的名字。

它们组合起来的形状看上去像人或动物。

月亮

月亮是一个巨大的岩石球。

在夜晚的天空中，月亮看上去是最大的物体。

这是因为月亮离地球很近。

月亮并不发光。

月亮看上去明亮，因为太阳照耀在它上面。

太阳在任何时候都只能照亮月亮的一半。

另外一半的月亮是黑暗的。

在一个月的不同时间里，月亮看上去不一样。

月亮绕着地球转。

随着时间的变化，我们看到的月亮实际上是月亮的不同部位。

有时月亮在白天运动到太阳的前面。

月亮挡住了太阳光。

行星

行星是绕着一个星星转的巨大物体。

地球就是我们所居住的行星。

在夜空中我们能看到五颗行星。

它们是水星，金星，火星，木星和土星。

太阳在任何时候都只能照到地球的一半。

地球的另一半是黑暗的。

地球像一个陀螺一样旋转。

因为地球的旋转，我们有白天和夜晚。

地球绕着太阳旋转。

地球每年绕太阳转一周。

在一年的不同时候，夜晚的天空看上去也不同。

彗星和流星

彗星是绕着太阳转动的冰和尘埃的混合物。

彗星有长尾巴。

流星飞过夜空。

流星是太空中的小岩石块飞向地球大气层时燃烧造成的景象。

如果你眨一下眼，就可能错过流星。

WHAT’S IN THE SKY?
