　　A long time ago people thought the sun went around the earth. Now we know the earth goes round the sun. It takes the earth a year to go all the way round the sun. Today men even know how far it is for the earth to go round the sun. They tell us that the earth travels over one and a half thousand kilometers a minute on its way round the sun.

　　The sun is really a star. It's much bigger than the earth and it is very hot. Some people have been to the moon, but we know no one can go to the sun. It's too hot for people to live anywhere near it. The sun is three hundred thousand times heavier than the earth and more than a million times larger.

The moon looks bigger than the stars at night. But in fact, it is smaller than any of them. The moon looks big to us, because it is closer to us than any star. The moon goes around the earth. It makes one trip（旅行）about four weeks. The moon is a round ball and looks beautiful. Don’t you think so? Now people know quite a lot about the moon. There is no air or water on the moon so there are not any trees or animals, or people on the moon. The moon gets its light from the sun, but some places on the moon are quite dark. The days on the moon get hotter than boiling（煮开的）water. The nights get colder than the North Pole（北极）on the earth.
