The Universe part 2
1. What are the new concepts you have learned in planets, satellites, comets and asteroids?
The new concepts that I have learned are:
- the difference between meteoroids, meteors and meteorites
- the location of asteroid belt
- the different satellites of each planet
- the composition of comets and asteroids
2. What concepts you find too difficult to understand? And Why?
I find too difficult maybe the main difference between the composition of asteroid and comets. :)
3. In what situation you may apply the new concepts you have learned?
- Back then, when I see a shooting star I thought it was a falling star literally. But now, when a shooting star occurs, I can explain and share to other kid that it has nothing at all to do with a star and that it is caused by tiny bits of dust and rock called meteoroids falling into the Earth's atmosphere and burning up.
