After studying this unit, you should know that:
- By observing the sky we can understand the movement of the earth in the universe.
- The succession of the days and the nights and the change in the seasons are consequences of this movement.
- The earth is only one of
the planets in the solar system and the moon, the sun, the asteroids
and the comets are our companions in the solar system.
- Our sun is just another of the stars which inhabit our galaxy.
- The spiral galaxy where
the sun and the Milky Way are is just one of the thousands of millions
of galaxies in our expanding universe.
