Venus(金星) is only a little smaller than the earth, about 95% of the earth's diameter(直径) and 80% of
the earth's mass(质量). The word Venus means the goddess of love and beauty in Greek. We name the
planet so probably because it is one of the brightest planets we have known by now. We human beings
have known Venus for a long time. It is the brightest thing in the sky except the sun and the moon. Venus
reaches its maximum(最大的) brightness shortly before sunrise or shortly after sunset, and is often thought
as the Morning Star or as the Evening Star. A lot of observation of Venus was important to Copernicus's
Heliocentric Theory (日心说) of the solar system. In 1962 scientists sent the first spacecraft(宇宙飞船) to
explore Venus. So far there have been more than 20 and we will know more about Venus in the future.

All life on earth depends on the sun. Without the sun all living things on earth
would die.
The sun is a star. In space there are thousands of stars like the sun. They are
almost as large as the sun and as hot as the sun. At night you can see many stars, but in the daytime you can
only see one star—the sun.
The sun is much nearer to us than any other star. That is why it looks like the biggest and brightest of
all the stars. The distance of the sun from the earth is as much as 150 million kilometres. Most of the stars
are thousands of light years away from the earth.
Do you know what a light year is? Light travels about 300,000 kilometres a second. One light year is
the distance that light travels in one year.
