From far out in space, Earth looks like a blue ball. Since water covers
three-fourths of the Earth’s surface, blue is the color we see most.
The continents look brown, like small islands floating in the huge,
blue sea. White clouds wrap around the Earth like a light blanket.
The Earth is shaped like a sphere, or a ball. It is 25,000 miles around!
It would take more than a year to walk around the whole planet. A
spaceship can fly around the widest part of the sphere in only 90
minutes.
Even though spaceships have traveled to the Moon, people
cannot visit the Moon without special suits. The Moon has no air or
water. Plants and animals can’t live there either. Astronauts first
landed on the Moon in 1969. After that, there were six more trips to
the Moon. They brought back Moon rocks, which scientists are still
studying. There are holes, or craters, all over the Moon’s surface.
Scientists believe that meteorites smashed into the Moon millions of
years ago and formed the craters.
The Sun is the closest star to Earth. A star is a hot ball of
burning gas. The Sun looks very big because it is so close. But the
Sun is just a medium-sized star. Billions of far-away stars are much
bigger than our Sun. The burning gases from the Sun are so hot that
they warm the Earth from 93 million miles away! Even though the
Sun is always glowing, the night here on Earth is dark. That’s
because the Earth rotates, or turns around, every 24 hours. During the
day, the Earth faces the Sun. Then we see light. During the night, the
Earth turns away from the Sun. Then it faces the darkness of space.

1. Why is blue the color we see most when looking at Earth from
outer space?
A. Because most of the Earth is covered in land.
B. Because the Sun’s rays make the Earth look blue.
C. Because most of the Earth is covered in water.
D. Because clouds wrap around the Earth.
2. Read this sentence from the story.
Scientists believe that meteorites smashed into the Moon millions of
years ago and formed the craters.
What does formed mean?
A. hit C. broke
B. made D. stopped
3. What causes daylight on Earth?
A. The full Moon causes daylight.
B. Daylight is caused by the Earth facing away from the Sun.
C. The heat of the Sun’s rays causes daylight.
D. Daylight is caused by the Earth facing toward the Sun.
4. Which of the following sentences BEST describes the Sun?
A. The Sun looks small because it is so far from Earth.
B. The Sun is a ball of burning gases that gives the Earth heat
and light.
C. The Sun is a small star.
D. The Sun is not as hot as it looks.
5. What is the main idea of the article?
A. Plants and animals can’t live on the Moon.
B. Without the Sun we would have no heat or light.
C. We know a lot about the Earth, Moon, and Sun, but there is
still more to learn.
D. From outer space, the Earth looks tiny, even though it is
thousands of miles around.
