TUGAS KELAS 8 CI




THE WONDERS OF THE SKY

We look at the sky every day. But we know a little about the sky. The sky seems blue. But if we go up very high, the sky will be dark.
The sun rises in the east and sets in the west every day. It seems to move round the earth, but in fact the earth goes round the sun. At the same time it is turning round on itself. It spins round like a top. It is this spinning of the earth that makes day and night. When our part of the earth is turned toward the sun, it is day. When it is turned away from the sun, it is night.
The moon is a round ball like the earth on which we live, only much smaller. The moon goes round the earth. It has no light of its own. It takes light from the sun. During each month the moon seems to change its shape. But it does not really change its shape. All the time it is round ball. But we can see only that part of it which is lit up by the sun.
The sun is a great ball of fire. It looks so small because it is so far away – millions of miles from the earth. It is very hot, much hotter than hottest thing we can think of. If we fly nearer and nearer toward the sun, we shall feel hotter and hotter and get burnt.
Our sun is not the only sun in the sky. All the stars are suns also. Some of them are much bigger than our sun. But they look so small because they are millions and millions of miles away from our earth.
The stars shine in the day time as well as at night. We can’t see them in the bright light of the sun. We can see them only at night when the sun is not shining.
Answer these questions.
1.      Is the sky really dark or blue?
2.      Where does the sun rise? And where does it set?
3.      Does the sun move around the earth?
4.      Does the earth move around the sun?
5.      How does the moon move?
6.      Why can the moon shine brightly, since it has no light of its own?
7.      Why does the moon look to change it shape?
8.      How long does the earth take to go round the sun?
9.      How long does the moon take to go round the earth?
