That mass began to spin and flatten into a disk. That disk grew hotter and hotter until finally a new star, our sun, was born. Leftover dust and gases continued to whirl around the sun and over millions of years formed the planets and moons that make up our solar system.

The near twin of the Earth in size, mass and density. It’s atmosphere is mostly carbon dioxide, a greenhouse gas that traps the sun’s heat and raises the surface temperature to nearly 900ºF. ]]> 2017-05-22 01:59:05 UTC https://padlet.com/samilove2406/u8gehv8l3b4q/wish/173036870 samilove2406 https://padlet.com/samilove2406/u8gehv8l3b4q/wish/173037310 3.  An active planet that’s constantly changing.
