In center of nebulae, nuclear fusion occurs and this is when

What are stars?:



As long as a star has hydrogen to “burn” it so it can keep it shining. Some stars are tiny because they are a huge distant away from Earth. Orion is visible from New Zealand in summer and autumn but it’s below the horizon the winter and spring. The giant star may have disappeared from sight bat it’s gran remain. A star is a massive bright, sphere of a very hot gas called plasma which is held by  its own gravity! They are most easily recognised as a part of star groupings called constellations. By the time our Sun has reached this “red giant” stage, it will have expanded right out past Mars. The first brightest Star is Sirius and the second brightest Star is a Canopus.



The Life Cycle of a Star:

a star is born there is a constant battle between the core of the star nuclear fusion is it’s rope and called equilibrium which means it’s the main sequence. The clumps of the gas, they form what astronomers called it a protostar. Stars are born in a great cloud of hydrogen gas and dust called nebulae. An exploding star is three times larger than the Sun, will leave behind a core about 25 kilometers (15 miles across). Hot is enough to turn gold like our Sun, but it shine for much longer. A milky way galaxy has over 200 billion  size of a Frisbee.



Type of Stars:
The force of gravity inside is so intense that nothing can escape it, hot and even light. Stars seem to be fixed in the sky and different timed. The biggest stars is discovered by the astronomers is the VY canis majoris.Our Sun is a middle-sized star. The Sun will shine about 10 billions years. One of the smallest known stars in our galaxy is a VB10. Did you know that rigel ( star ) is 20,000 degrees, it’s 40,000 times brighter than the Sun! Protostars come after Nebuler the gas that comes is out of the Sun. Most Stars are too small to shine as bright as the Sun. There is a


Conclusion:

The energy produced by helping to blow much of disc of gas away, leaving the new star shining brightly. How long a star main sequence, last depend on the mass of the star and how much hydrogen fuel the star contains. Did you also know that Sirius (the brightest star) it is the first star you will see at night. Some stars are big or small. Small is cool and Big are hot and bright.

Why does the Moon changes everynight?

In Week 6 of Term 2 our class focussed on how to write great explanations.We wrote about the Moon’s different phases as we are in the middle of learning about Planet Earth and Beyond. Learning how to write a great explanation will help us with our self-guided topics in a few weeks time. Here is my writing, after I have self-assessed and peer-assessed my work.

WHY DOES THE MOON LOOK DIFFERENT EVERY NIGHT?
Have you ever wonder that the Moon doesn’t always have to look like a perfect circle in the sky. Did you know that the moon and why it changes appearance every night. You might know that the phases of the Moon changes every night.

THE MOON’S ORBIT
Firstly, when the Moon orbits around the Earth, the Earth is moving around the Sun. You can see the reflection of the Sun’s light is changing from less to more light and what makes the different shapes of the Moon. The Moon is tilted when it orbits around the Earth and this is why we do not always get and eclipse.

THE MOON'S PHASES
Then, the phases of the Moon starts with a new moon, which looks like a black sky. Then the waxing crescent, which looks like a banana to the left. The next phase is the first quarter and this is when the moon looks like a bowl to the left. After this is the waxing gibbous and this looks like a squashed ball. Then we have the full moon, which looks like a ball.
waning gibbous, last quarter, waning crescent, new moon. When the Moon’s orbit around the Earth it is tilted from our orbit around the Sun it is not a shadow it is the phases of the Moon. When the Moon moves around you can see that the light are waxing or waning. The cycle of the phases of the Moon starts off with New Moon then the Waxing Crescent, First Quarter, Waxing Gibbous and then Full Moon, Waning Gibbous, Last Quarter, Waning Crescent then the last phases is the New Moon again.

CONCLUSION
Overall, now you have know more idea’s about why the Moon always change appearance every night, if you need a more help, go to this website: ( Click on the link about phases of the Moon ) I hope that you have been learning new fact in your head.
