- This site moves around as it focuses in on selected parts of the universe. The distances are how far the object is from Earth which is in light years or how far light travels in one year (about 6 million miles). So 27 light years would be 27 x 6 million. Think about the distances!

Is there life on mars?I don’t think theres life on mars because it is hot & dry & when it is hot on earth it is cold on mars.Would you want to live on a planet that is dry & hot?I would not because theres no plant or trees & no one to talk to
I do not think there are any living things on mars .I do not because there is no water. there is only ice
I think that there will not be unless it’s a human being.
Something that I know about Astronomy is that there are 8 planets.But, Pluto is no longer a planet.Earth has 4 atmospheres,land,oceans,people,also life.Jupiter,it’s only gas.
What I’am going to tell you is about space and the planet I chose to talk about is Jupiter is the BIGGEST planet in the solar system and if you go on a vacatition on Jupiter and you weigh 70 pound on earth you will weigh 180 on Jupiter. And if you ever go on Jupiter you will burn to death and it is so hot it is up to 22,000,000 and this planet is a gas giant. This plane named jupiter is named after a Romen god who ruled over the other gods and the persso who named it,it’s name was Zues. This planet is so ifasinating,but no one could ever no what hiding under nethe it but the most excititing thing about it is that this planet is 3times bigger than earth and that it is so cool that I wounlder that if something like a robot can see what hides under nethe it that’s why I chose this planet to tell you about and the reasson why is beacuse it’s a cool thing to look at that’s the reasson why Ii chose this planet for my space.
