Hey…

What are you looking up here for?

Our Galaxy

I use this sentence↓to help me remember my planets:



Martha
Visits
Every
Monday
and (asteroid belt)
Just
Stays
Until
Noon
Period

The first letter of every word represents a planet.

For example: the “M” in Martha is represents Mercury, the first planet. And the “E” in every stands for Earth.

The Longest Day Ever!

In 2 more days it’s the summer solstice.

That means it’s the longest day of the year.

The sunrise is at 5:24am; and sunset is at 8:30pm.

So there are 15 hours and 6 minutes of daylight on Monday.

After that, the days get shorter everyday until the winter solstice.

On December 21st, the shortest day of the year, there are only 9 hours and 15 minutes of daylight.

After that, the days start getting longer again!
