1. Important Space Info
MCAS Bootcamp:
Day 6

2. Random Fact:
What is the Earth’s average distance from the sun (in Miles).
92,955,888 Miles

3. Organization Our Moon: PlanetsSolar SystemGalaxyUniverse
There are billions of galaxies.
Every galaxy has billions of stars.
Our Moon:
Much less gravity
Basically zero atmosphere (No air)
Has large mountains and craters

4. Our Solar System Smaller planets/moons have less gravity.
No atmosphere (gasses/clouds) = very hot days and very cold nights. Also causes craters.
Closer to the sun = shorter years
Called orbit or revolution
Faster spinning on axis = shorter days
Called rotation

5. What Makes the Earth Special?
We have a thick atmosphere with lots of oxygen.
We have plenty of liquid water.
We retain a perfect amount of heat.
(Not too much during the day or too little at night.)
