It is made of protons, neutrons, and electrons. There are many different kinds of atoms. For example, the simplest atom with one proton and one electron is a hydrogen atom. An atom with six protons, six neutrons, and six electrons is a carbon atom. alvaroloaisa https://padlet.com/alvaroloaisa/lcwfmothues3mro7/wish/2568929608 2023-04-26 14:51:02 UTC https://padlet.com/alvaroloaisa/lcwfmothues3mro7/wish/2568929608 Aurora australis: Bright glows and bands of light that appear in the skies at night near the South Pole.

They're often named after an animal, object, or person. The stars form certain patterns based on where you are. We have one view of stars here on Earth, but from another solar system or galaxy, the constellations would look different. alvaroloaisa https://padlet.com/alvaroloaisa/lcwfmothues3mro7/wish/2568933953 2023-04-26 14:53:57 UTC https://padlet.com/alvaroloaisa/lcwfmothues3mro7/wish/2568933953 Corona: The outer atmosphere of a star. alvaroloaisa https://padlet.com/alvaroloaisa/lcwfmothues3mro7/wish/2568934885 2023-04-26 14:54:36 UTC https://padlet.com/alvaroloaisa/lcwfmothues3mro7/wish/2568934885 Cosmos: The universe seen as an orderly, harmonious whole. alvaroloaisa https://padlet.com/alvaroloaisa/lcwfmothues3mro7/wish/2568935249 2023-04-26 14:54:52 UTC https://padlet.com/alvaroloaisa/lcwfmothues3mro7/wish/2568935249 Crater: A large, bowl-shaped dent in the ground. They can be caused by an explosion or the impact of a meteorite. alvaroloaisa https://padlet.com/alvaroloaisa/lcwfmothues3mro7/wish/2568935683 2023-04-26 14:55:10 UTC https://padlet.com/alvaroloaisa/lcwfmothues3mro7/wish/2568935683 Dwarf planet: Objects that are round and orbit the sun, just like planets do. But unlike planets, dwarf planets are not able to clear their path around the sun. That means there are other objects orbiting at roughly the same distance from the sun. A dwarf planet is much smaller than a planet (smaller even than Earth's moon), but it is not a moon. Pluto is the best known of the dwarf planets. alvaroloaisa https://padlet.com/alvaroloaisa/lcwfmothues3mro7/wish/2568936918 2023-04-26 14:56:01 UTC https://padlet.com/alvaroloaisa/lcwfmothues3mro7/wish/2568936918 El Niño: A weather condition that sometimes occurs in the Pacific Ocean. It is so big that it affects weather all over the world. It starts with unusually warm water in the Pacific Ocean near the equator. alvaroloaisa https://padlet.com/alvaroloaisa/lcwfmothues3mro7/wish/2568937794 2023-04-26 14:56:42 UTC https://padlet.com/alvaroloaisa/lcwfmothues3mro7/wish/2568937794 Electromagnetic Spectrum: The name for all the different kinds of light and energy in the universe.
