Солнце – the Sun

Меркурий – Mercury

Венера – Venus

Земля – the Earth

Марс – Mars

Юпитер – Jupiter

Сатурн – Saturn

Уран – Uranus

Нептун – Neptune

The mass of the Sun = 99,86%

of the mass of all Solar system

0,14% = planets and asteroids

artificial satellite – искусственный спутник

to lance – запускать

first – первый

The first

artificial satellite

was lanced

in 1957

fallen – упавший

large – большой

found – найден

size – размер

weight – вес

iron content – содержание железа

Hoba

is the largest meteorite fallen

on the Earth (found in Namibia)

size: 2,7 m

weight: 60 t

iron content: 86%

Venus

1 day

of Venus

=

243 days

of Earth

the only – единственный

rotate – вращаться

Venus

is the only

planet of the

Solar system

that rotates

anti clock wise

weight – вес

variable – изменчивый

get – набирать

lose – терять

about – около, примерно

The weight of

the Earth is variable

Every year it gets about 40 000 tones and loses about 96 000 tones

So, every year the Earth loses

56 000 tones

earthly gravity – гравитационные силы Земли, земная гравитация

backbone – позвоночник

in space – в космосе

high – высокий

The earthly gravity compresses our backbone.

So, in space

astronauts are

5,08 cm higher

than on the Earth

the Moon – луна

move away – отдаляться

The Moon moves away from the Earth for 3.8 cm every year

dump – мусорка

more – более

km/h ( kilometers per hour )

– км/ч

fly – летать

The orbit of our planet is dump

of more than 370 000 objects

of mass from some grams to 15 tones

that fly at about 9 834 km/h

rock formation – горные образования

origin – происхождение

0,67% of rock formation on the Earth have Martian origin

Martian – марсианский

point – точка, пик

extent – протяженность

height – высота

Martian volcano “Olympus” is

the highest point of Solar system

Olympus

extent: 600 km

height: 27 km

Mount Everest height: 8,5 km

density – плотность

low – низкий

afloat – плавать на поверхности

put – положить

density of Saturn

( 5,6846×

1026 kg )

is so low

that it

would

afloat

if you could put it into the water

satellite – спутник

steam – поток

lost - потерял

The Saturn’s satellite Io

has about 400 active volcanoes

height of

the steams:

500 kms

Pluto was the smallest planet of the Solar system.

It lost its status of planet in 2006

The size of Pluto versus

the Australia’s size

covered with – покрыт

low – низкий

firm – твердый

steel – сталь

Pluto is covered with ice

The lowest temperature is 200’

Pluto’s ice has

another

structure:

it’s many times

firmer

than steel

Pluto

1 year of Pluto = 248 years of Earth

tiny – крошечный

neural – нейтронный

weight – вес

gravity – сила тяжести

such a – такой

The tiny neuronal stars

diameter = 10 km

weight = the Sun

gravity

is so high that

a man on such

a planet would

have 1 million tones more in weight

expensive – дорогой

found – обнаружен

diamond – алмаз

light year – световой год

away – вдаль, прочь

The most “ expensive ”

planet was found in 2011

It is 5 times

larger than

Jupiter

92% of the planet

is diamond

It is 4 000 light years away from the Earth

supposedly – предположительно

near – близкий

inhabited – населенный

Supposedly, the nearest inhabited planet is “Super-Earth”, 13 878 738 000 years away from our planet
