　　A long time ago people thought the sun went round the earth. In some countries people even said the sun was a god (神) : they thought he drove across the sky each day on a golden horse. 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 a thousand miles a minute on its way round the sun.

　　The sun is really a star. It is much bigger than the earth and it is very hot. Some people have been to the moon, but we know that no one can go to the sun.
