信息量不小,撇開和各種行星、矮行星命名相關(guān)的神話不談,以冥王星視角講了個科普好故事(combination fantasy and nonfiction elements)。借著冥王星的自述,重溫了希臘神話,再穿插些歌曲、圖片,算是近期讀得很認(rèn)真的一本raz了。
1、幾個相關(guān)單詞拓展
a minor planet of the inner solar system(內(nèi)太陽系), especially between Mars and Jupiter . Asteroids orbit the Sun, but they are usually too small to become round.
an object in space like a bright ball with a long tail , that moves around the Sun
A solid body, moving in space, that is smaller than an asteroid and at least as large as a speck of dust, usually only the size of a pepple!
Meteoroid that hit Earth's atmosphere.
Meteoroids that successfully pass through Earth's atmosphere without burning up.
2、太陽家族(solar system)
the Sun and the objects that orbit it, either directly or indirectly.
(1)太陽 Sun
(2)八大行星 eight planets
其中:
(3)五顆矮行星 (dwarf planets)
★★★ 歌曲(The Dwarf Planet Song)視頻:D:\妞妞資料\英語學(xué)習(xí)視頻
(4)小行星(asteroids)
(5)彗星(comets)
3、太陽系兩大隕石帶
(1)小行星帶(Asteroid Belt)
太陽系內(nèi)介于火星和木星軌道之間的小行星密集區(qū)域。The asteroid belt is located roughly between the orbits of the planets Jupiter and Mars. It contains a great many solid, irregularly shaped bodies, of many sizes but much smaller than planets, called asteroids or minor planets.
(2)柯伊伯帶(Kuiper Belt)
位于太陽系的海王星軌道外側(cè),類似于小行星帶但范圍大得多,它比小行星帶寬20倍且重20至200倍。It is similar to the asteroid belt, but is far larger – 20 times as wide and 20–200 times as massive.
4、本冊糾錯:
P.9 Some planets have no moons, and you(Pluto) have three.
實際上,現(xiàn)已發(fā)現(xiàn)冥王星至少有5顆衛(wèi)星。
