Week 5 - All about Earth

Mission Control Published 21 November

Week 5

We hope you are all enjoying your mission into space. This week you will be finding out about Earth and comparing it to other planets in the solar system. If you have found out any interesting facts that you would like to share with others then post them here.

As you can see there are lots of questions being asked about space and many of them have been answered already. Remember to read the other posts to see if your questions has already been answered. Now that you are in your 5th week of your space mission you might be able to answer some of your space colleagues questions as well.

Good luck!

cults primary school 6B said:: we found out that the closer you get to the sun the hotter it gets.the shiner the planet the cooler it gets.We are really enjoying this website.
November 23, 2006 13:42
Cults Primary School 6B said:: If Venus was shiny,thick atmosphere and further away from the sun it would be - 273c!
November 23, 2006 13:43
Cults Primary School 6B said:: We found out that the shinnier,the thicker atmosphere and the closer it is to the sun the planets get much hotter.
November 23, 2006 13:45
Cults Primary 6B said:: We found that if a planet is not shiny it is hotter and that if a planet is further away from the sun it is colder. Also if the atmosphere is thicker it traps heat and makes the plant hotter.
November 23, 2006 13:46
Cults Primary School 6B said:: we discovered that the closer and the thicker the atmosphere the hotter the planets are.We also discovered that the shinier the planet is the colder it is.
November 23, 2006 13:46
cults primary 6B said:: When we turned the atmosphere of the Earth high it went really cloudy and grey around the planet (that was the thicker atmosphere) and the temperutare went hotter.
November 23, 2006 13:48
Cults Primary School 6b said:: WE LEARNT THAT IF YOU MOVE MARS CLOSER TO THE SUN IT GETS HOTTER.
November 23, 2006 13:48
Cults Primary School 6B said:: We learned that the thicker the atmosphere the hotter most planets get.
November 23, 2006 13:48
cults primary 6 blue said:: If you increase the shininess of a planet and make it have a very thick atmosphere the temperature plummets.
November 23, 2006 13:49
Cults Primary 6 Blue said:: If you increase the distance of a planet from the sun the temperature plummets.Also,when you increase the atmosphere on a planet it goes white because it's like wrapping it up in cotton wool!
November 23, 2006 13:49
Cults Primary School said:: We turned the atmosphere up on Earth and it got hotter.
November 23, 2006 13:50
Cults Primary 6B said:: When we changed the atmosphere of the planets the colour changed, why?, because the thick atmosphere is like wrapping the planet up in cotton wool!
November 23, 2006 13:51
Cults Primary 6B said:: When the atmosphere on the planets gets very thick it gets very hot and when the atmosphere is very thin the planets get pretty cold.
November 23, 2006 13:55
cults primary school 6B said:: We found out that as the planet gets closer to the sun it gets warmer and as it moves away it gets colder. The shinier the planet gets the temperature drops. We also found out that if you increase the amount of atmosphere the planet will get warmer.
November 23, 2006 13:56
Cults primary 6B said:: We have found out that if a planet gets shinier, it is further away from the Sun and it gets cooler. If the atmosphere of the planet increases, the planet will warm up.
