THE UNIVERSE

The universe is made up of many astronomical objects and many galaxies. Our galaxy is called Milky Way, where the Solar System is located.  There are eight planets in the Solar System:

-four planets are closest to the Sun (INNER PLANETS) that are smaller and they are mostly made up of rocks and metals. These are : Mercury, Venus, Earth and Mars.

– four planets furthest from the Sun (outer planets) that are bigger and they are mostly made up of gas. These are: Jupiter, Saturn, Uranus and Neptune. 

All the planets orbit the Sun.

The Solar System also contains smaller astronomical objects, such as natural satellites, asteroids, meteorites and comets.

REPRESENTING THE EARTH: GLOBES, MAPS AND PLANS

There are different ways of representing the Earth:

1. A globeis a spherical, three-dimensional representation of the Earth’s.

2. A map is a representation of the Earth on paper or another flat surface.

  • Physical maps represent landforms and relief.

  • Political maps show the borders of countries, states, provinces and counties.

3. A plan is representation of a room or building on paper.

4. Distances on a map are much smaller than real distances. We can use a map’s scale to calculate the real distances it represents. There are two types of scale: numerical scalesand graphic scales.

5. Maps also have symbols. These are small drawings or lines which represent di‰ erent elements of a landscape.

Globes and maps have imaginary lines called meridians and parallels. We use the point where these lines cross to accurately describe a location on the Earth’s surface.
