From far out in space, the Earth looks like a blue ball. Since 16 covers three - fourths of the Earth’s surface, blue is the colour we see most. The continents (大陆) look brown, like small 17 floating in the huge, blue sea. White clouds wrap (包裹) around the Earth like a light blanket. The Earth is 18 like a ball. It is 25,000 miles around! It would take more than a year to walk 19 the whole planet. The spacecraft can fly around the 20 part of the ball in only 90 minutes.

There are holes, or craters (环形山), all over the Moon’s 24 . Scientists believe that meteorites (陨石) smashed into the Moon millions of years ago and formed the craters.
The Sun is the closest star to the Earth. A 25 is a hot ball of burning gas. The Sun looks very big because it is so close. But the Sun is just a medium - sized star. Billions of far - away stars are much 26 than our Sun. The burning gases from the Sun are so hot that they 27 the Earth from 93 million miles away! Though the Sun always glows, the 28 here on the Earth is dark. That’s because the Earth turns around every 29 hours. During the day, the Earth faces the Sun. Then we see light. During the night, the Earth turns 30 from the Sun. Then it faces the darkness of space.
