Hi blog world! I am so close to finishing subtraction on Xtramath! Here is one of my results...

4.06.15 TM Abcya Word Cloud: TWINKLE TWINKLE LITTLE STAR

Hi blog world! I hope you read my Information Report about the glowing yellow stars.

This is my Abcya Word Cloud I created!

4.06.15 TM SpeedWrite: TWINKLE TWINKLE LITTLE STAR

[Heading/Title of Information Report]

TWINKLE TWINKLE LITTLE STAR

[Introduction]

Twinkle twinkle little star, who are you and do you really twinkle? The truth is, stars don’t twinkle it is just a reflection. Do you ever wonder how stars came around? Here is a clarification around the life cycle of a star and more general information.

[Life Cycle]

Stars start as a cloud which contains gas and dust. It is called nebula. It then moves to an average star and a massive star. After a while, it transforms into a red giant and a red supergiant. This is the 3rd stage of the cycle. Next it becomes a planetary nebula and a supernova. Off to the last couple steps, a white dwarf. Then continues to a neutron star and a black hole.

[Appearance]

Most of us think that red stars are super hot and blue stars are cold. Well, it is pretty much the opposite! You see, blue stars are hot like a candle flame. If you look closely at the bottom of the fire, there will be dark/light blue which indicates that it is hot. So now we all understand that red stars are cold.

[Types of Stars]

Venus is a planet but also acts like a star that shines in the sky as the morning star. Also, Mercury acts as a star! It glows bright in the sky after sunset as the evening star. Supernova is one of the stars which amazingly can generate shock waves so powerful that they compress a nearby nebula! Where do Protostars come from? Protostars come after nebular the gas out of the sun and they are one of the stages out of the star’s life cycle.

[General Information]

Stars are a huge distance away from Earth. So imagine if you were right next to a star and how huge it would be! Stars shine bright yellow light which takes millions of years to reach Earth. Most of us people think, how did the name star come about? Well, it came from this ancient Greek word “aster” which means star. Our galaxy has over 400 million stars which can live for billions of years!

[Conclusion]

I hope this report around our twinkling (not really twinkling) stars has helped you with all your troubles and misunderstandings. If you are still not clear about this, check out this website that should definitely give you the best facts: http://www.sciencekids.co.nz/sciencefacts/space/stars.html

Why Does The Moon Apear Differently Each Non-Illuminated Night?

WHY DOES THE MOON CHANGE INTO NON-CIRCULAR SHAPES AT NIGHT?

INTRODUCTION

The Moon’s appearance changes over time. Why is that you ask? Well, the Moon changes shape causing the lunar phases. Most people think that the shadows caused the Moon to change shape but it is scientifically proven that it is the reflection of the Sun that causes it. I am going to explain in more detail, the lunar months/lunar phases, so that you get a clear idea about why the moon looks different every non-illuminated night.

THE MOON’S ORBIT AROUND EARTH

When the Moon orbits us, we can only see the lighted part of it.This is caused by our wonderful blue Earth revolving around the Sun while the Moon tilts on its axis and circles Earth. The Moon rotates at roughly the same speed as it orbits Earth. As a result of this, the same side of the Moon always faces Earth.

PHASES OF THE MOON

There are eight phases of the Moon but most people believe that there are nine counting the other New Moon. Here is a list of all the Lunar Phases in order; new moon, waxing crescent, first quarter, waxing gibbous, full moon, waning gibbous, last quarter, waning crescent and the cycle goes all over again starting with the non-illuminated new moon.

LUNAR MONTH

A Lunar month is a little different than a normal month because every year it is two days behind. This is caused by the Moon orbiting Earth but when it is still not in line with the Earth and the Sun, it would take two days to catch up. A Lunar month is 29.5 days long although the Moon takes 27.3 days to slowly orbit Earth.

CONCLUSION

I hope this explanation has given you a clearer view of the Moon. I also hope that this writing explanation has fixed up any misunderstandings. If you are still not clear about the Moon, check out this website: http://resources.woodlands-junior.kent.sch.uk/time/moon/facts.htm

Why Does The Moon Change Shape Every Night?

Hi Everyone!

This is my (Me and my classmate's) Digital Learning Object about the Lunar Phases.

Hope you enjoy!
