Which planet …

2) is the hottest?

3) comes the second in size?

4) was discovered by a musician?

5) is believed to have water on the surface?

A. Venus, one of the planets of the solar system, is the second in distance from the Sun. Except for the Sun and the Moon, Venus is the brightest object in the sky. The planet is called the morning star when it appears in the east at sunrise, and the evening star when it is in the west at sunset. Venus is never visible more than three hours before sunrise and three hours after sunset. The surface temperature is the hottest of any planets – about 477C.

B. Neptune is the fourth largest planet in the solar system. Astronomers believe that the surface of the planet is covered by a vast ocean of water mixed with rocky material. Neptune has four rings and 11 known moons.

C. Pluto is farther from the Sun than the other planets in the solar system. The small, rocky, and cold planet takes 247,7 years to revolve around the Sun. It was discovered in 1930. Pluto is the most distant planet in the solar system and it is very difficult to be detected.

D. Uranus is a major planet in the solar system. Uranus has 11 known rings and 27 moons. Uranus was the first planet that people discovered by using a telescope. Sir Williams Herschel, a German-born British musician and astronomer, discovered the planet in 1781.

 Recycling is a technology that helps protect the environment and cut down on usage of raw materials. The steel, paper and glass industries recycle a lot. The largest recycler is the steel industry. It recovers more than 70 per cent of its original materials. For example, since 1988 they have produced the majority of new metal cans from old ones. Metal parts for cars and planes are other examples of recycling steel. Fragments of waste glass are widely used in construction. For producing writing paper and pens, used packing boxes are an ideal material. They are cheap and easy to recycle. Nowadays more and more recycling centres are appearing in our towns and cities.

 Global warming is a result of human activity. In 1985 there was a big conference in Austria where 89 climate researchers from different countries took part. After long discussions the scientists declared that the climate of the planet had changed. Indeed, it is warmer now than it was years ago. It can be clearly seen in the north. In the Arctic some places are ice-free now and polar bears have lost the place where they lived. The sea level has risen as well. The situation is getting more and more serious. Global warming is a great problem which needs to be solved in the near future.

 Earth Hour is an event that encourages people around the world to switch off electricity at the same time for one hour. Of course, switching off the lights for an hour makes a small difference to the amount of energy we use. But the aim of the event is not to save energy but to get people to think about the planet they live on. Earth Hour started in Australia in 2007. More and more countries join the ecological movement every year. Now, millions of people from 178 countries switch off their lights for 60 minutes at the end of March. People in Russia participate in this event too – large office buildings and small private houses go dark for Earth Hour.
