The earth in the Universe

1. I'm the planet that everyone calls “Red,”
But really my soil is rust-colored instead.
Look up and you may spot me in the sky,
I'm the orange-colored dot, way up high.
Which planet am I?

2. With over 63 moons, you might say I have a lot.

Look with a telescope to see my big, red spot.
The spot is a wind storm, swirling around.
High in the night sky is where I can be found.
Which planet am I?

3. I'm blue and green and a little brown.
I'm a small planet with life all around.
They call me the third rock from the sun.
I don't have many moons - just one.
Which planet am I?

4. No matter how hard you look, you'll never find me,
Unless you have a telescope to help you see.
I was once called a planet, but not any more.
Now I'm just a “Dwarf Planet,” but too important to ignore.
Which planet am I?

9. A gas planet that's off in the distance,
Only recently they found my rings in existence.
I'm blue and cold and far away,
People say I'm funny because I spin sideways.
Which planet am I?

5. Look very close to the sun and you'll spot,

A tiny, cratered planet that's very hot.
I have no moons but I orbit the sun very fast.
Can you guess my name at last?
Which planet am I?

6. I'm yellow and cloudy and super hot.
Look low in the sky, I'm easy to spot.
People call me the “Evening Star”
From planet Earth, I'm not very far.
Which planet am I?

7. Named for the Roman god of the Sea,
Look past Saturn and Uranus for me.
I had a black spot that was a huge storm.
Now it's all gone, but I'll still never be warm.
Which planet am I?

8. I'm a giant gas planet out in space,
There are bands or stripes all over my face.
When it comes to size, I'm number two,
I have bright rings. That's an easy clue.
Which planet am I?

Riddle , riddle...

The whole of space is called the universe. Astronomers think the universe is infinite, but we can only see a finite part of it.

The universe was born in a gigantic explosion called The Big Bang. Astronomers see galaxies moving away, most of them are sure these means that the universe is expanding and it will go on expanding forever. Others do not agree.

Most astronomers believe the Universe began in a Big Bang about 14 billion years ago. At that time, the entire Universe was inside a bubble that was thousands of times smaller than a pinhead. It was hotter and denser than anything we can imagine.

Then it suddenly exploded. The Universe that we know was born. Time, space and matter all began with the Big Bang. In a fraction of a second, the Universe grew from smaller than a single atom to bigger than a galaxy. And it kept on growing at a fantastic rate. It is still expanding today.

As the Universe expanded and cooled, energy changed into particles of matter and antimatter. These two opposite types of particles largely destroyed each other. But some matter survived. More stable particles called protons and neutrons started to form when the Universe was one second old.

Over the next three minutes, the temperature dropped below 1 billion degrees Celsius. It was now cool enough for the protons and neutrons to come together, forming hydrogen and helium nuclei.

After 300 000 years, the Universe had cooled to about 3000 degrees. Atomic nuclei could finally capture electrons to form atoms. The Universe filled with clouds of hydrogen and helium gas.
