Rocks And Astroids

Millions and Millions of years ago,a meteor hit earth.It was 10 km wide.If the Rock was small it would burn up in the atmosphere.To test it out,you will need...

A hose,5 light balls(to be the small Rock)and a basket ball(to be the meteor that hit earth).

You might want to do this in a swimming pool,but you don't have to.

There are caraters on the moon because,the moon has no atmosphere to burn up the Rocks.

Titan (One of Saturns moons)

Titan is much larger than the neigbouring Saturnian moons.It is larger than Mercury and Pluto and the second largest moon in the solar system after Jupiters Ganymede.It was discoverd in 1655 by the Dutch astronomer Christan Huygens,the first moon to be detected following Galileos revolutionary discovery of four moons orbiting Jupiter.Titan is the only body in the solar system to contain a nitrogen-rich atmousphere like Earths,although it is much more dense.

Callisto (One of Jupiters moons)

Callisto's dark and dirty,icy crust is coverd with craters.The largest,Valhalla,has shockwaves that spread out some 3,000 km (1,865 miles).Astronomers believe the crust hides a rocky core.

Europa (One of Jupiters moons)

Europa has an icy surface criss-crossed with lines that suggest deeper activity.Sientists believe the ice may cover a liquid salty ocean,with a possibillity of aquatic life.in fact, it has become the most likely place extraterrestrail life in our solar system.

Ganymede (One of Jupiters moons)

Ganymede in lager than Mercury,but it is not a planet as it doesn't orbit the sun.Scientists think this moon has a molten core,surrounded by a rocky mantle,possible salt water,and an ice shell.
