Life on other planets

There might be other planets in our solar system that can have life. Titan, one of Saturn's moons,is very simalar to earth. A satellite took a picture of rain and lakes of methane on Titan. Earth has rain and lakes of water witch is very similar. Since the sun is a star, it has many planets around it and some plantets with life. It is good news for the people that think there is life on other planets if this is just one star, there could be other stars that have planets around them and maybe some with life. It could not even be humans!

Homework Questions and answers.

What causes us to have seasons?

A solar eclipse happens when the new moon goes in between the sun and the Earth. The moon blocks the light from the sun. Even though the moon is much smaller than the sun, the sun seems the same size because it is further away.

My Silly Aztec Poem


The Aztecs found a piece of land
That didn’t have any sand.

They found an eagle eating a snake,
In the middle of the swampy lake.

They build a city
And did it all without pity.                                                                        

With all the causeways
You might want to take a gaze.

They did all the sacrifice to keep their gods happy,
If not the sun won’t rise and they’ll all be unhappy.

They built temples and canals like streams
It’s so nice you could be in a dream!
