The Speed of Light

Light travels at a speed which is about a million times faster than the speed of sound.

In one second, light travels about 300,000 kilometres.

But sound travels only 0.344 kilometres .You can get some idea of this difference by

watching the start of a race. If you

Stand some distance(距离) away from the starter, you can see smoke come from his

gun

(枪) before the sound reaches your ears.

This great speed of light produces some strange facts. Sunlight takes about 8

minutes to

reach us. If you look at the light of the moon tonight, remember that the light left the

moon 1.3 second before they reached you. The nearest star is far away from the earth.

The light which you can see from it tonight started to travel towards you four years

ago at a speed of nearly 2 million kilometers one minute. In some cases(情况) the

light from one of tonight’s starts started on its journey to you before you were born.

If we want to be honest(诚实), we can not say “The stars are shining tonight.” We

have to say, “The stars look pretty(漂亮). They were shining four years ago. But

their light has only just reached the earth.. ”

判断正误：

（）1.Light speed is about a million times faster than sound speed.

（）2.If you stand 100 metres away from a starter, you can hear the gun before you see the smoke.

( )3. The moon must be about two million kilometers away from the earth.

( )4. The sun must be about 480 times300,000 kilometres away from the earth..

( )5. The moonlight we see tonight started to travel towards us four years ago.

The Day, the night and the Stars

Have you ever seen the day begin? The dark sky starts to look brighter. Then suddenly the sky is all pink(淡红色的) and red and gold(金色的) even a little green.

The earth has turned until the sun is shining on the place where you are. This is what makes it day.

The sun is always shining. But it can only shine on one side of the earth at a time. It can’t l ight the side that is turned away from it. When the sun is shining on the other side of the world, it is night where you are. At night, you can see the stars.

All day the stars are in the sky, but the light from the sun is so bright that you can’t see them. When the sun is gone, the stars are bright enough to see. Stars look as tiny(微小的) as pinheads(针头)，but some are even bigger than the sun. Big things look little when they are far away. In the sky, planes look like toys(玩具), but on the ground you can see that they are big. Stars are millions of times bigger than planes. They look very small because they are so far away. The sun is closer than the other stars. So it looks bigger.
