I like these.....
- Search for Extra-terrestrial Intelligence is the exploratory science that searches for evidence of life in the universe. SETI looks for a signature of its technology.
- Titan (one of saturns moons)is the largest moon of Saturn and the second largest moon in the whole Solar System. Astronomers also think that it might have am atmosphere. Even though Titan's not a planet, it is bigger than Mercury and Pluto.
- Saturn's rings are only visible from Earth when you use a telescope. Saturn has seven rings that are made of ice chunks and rocks ranging in size from a grain of salt to as big as a house. They are extremely wide but super thin.
- Star constellations are groups of stars that come together to form a picture. They are amazingly beautiful. They can be seen more than one month.
- The moon is a satellite of Earth. The surface area of the moon is 14,658,000 square miles and it's 1/4 the size of Earth. From Earth, we only see one side of the moon all the time.

Cloud Types
1. List three low clouds, three middle clouds, three high clouds, and one cloud with vertical development.
Low clouds: Cumulus, Stratus, and Nimbostratus
Middle clouds: Altocumulus, Altostratus, and Lenticular
High clouds: Cirrocumulus, Cirrostratus, and Cirrus
Cloud with vertical development: Cumulonimbus
2. Which clouds look the best to you?
The clouds that look the best to me are the cumulus clouds. I like the fact that they are bubbly looking.
3. What kind of weather does that type of cloud bring?
Cumulus clouds bring fair weather and an occasional precipitation even though I hate rain.
