Title: Horrible science: space, stars, and slimy aliens
Genre: Realistic fiction
Author: Nick Arnold
Summary:
This book is a bit of an informational story about the solar system. As in the size of them across, their size compared to Earth, gravity compared to Earth, how many moons, length of day, length of year, atmosphere, the weather forecast. Example:
Name: Earth
Size:12,700 km across
Moons: 1
Length of day: 24 Earth hours
Length of year: 365.25 Earth days
Atmosphere: 78% nitrogen, 21% oxygen. The rest is other gasses including 0.038% carbon dioxide (including human pollution).
Weather forecast: It's going to be hot around Earth's middle and well below freezing at the poles (each end). A large amount of water will fall from the sky in the form of small drops. Earthlings call this rain
Travel tips: Human scientists have invented a portable roof. This item of equipment is carried in the hand and protects the head from rain. It's called an umbrella. It's worth taking one of these with you if u go out and it's wet. Some life forms on Earth are extremely unfriendly and fierce and might try and eat you.
Name: The moon
Size: 3,476 km across
Size compared to Earth: A quarter its width
Gravity compared to Earth: one sixth
Length of day: Nearly 28 Earth days
Length of year: 365 Earth days and 6 Earth hours
Atmosphere: nothing much
Weather forecast: The weather's going to be either too hot or too cold. During the day it's 110c and blasted by radiation from the sun. At night it is 170c. But at least there'll be no rain because there's no water and there is no wind because there 's no air.
Travel tips: Wear spacesuits and leave the umbrella in the spacecraft
