Mercury takes 59 days to make a rotation but only 88 days to circle the Sun. That means that there are fewer than 2 days in a year! Many astronomers believe that Mercury might be the core of what was once a much larger planet -- it appears to be a huge ball of iron covered by a thin layer of rock. Venus is the brightest planet in our sky and can sometimes be seen with the naked eye if you know where to look. It is the solar system's brightest planet -- yellow clouds of sulfuric acid reflect the sun's light. Mars is the home of "Olympus Mons", the largest volcano found in the solar system. It stands about 27 kilometers high with a crater 81 kilometers wide. Jupiter is the largest planet in the solar system, but it spins very quickly on its axis. A day on Jupiter lasts only 9 hours and 55 minutes. I get dizzy just thinking about it! Jupiter is so big that you could fit all the other planets in the solar system inside it. The red spot of Jupiter is the biggest, most violent storm in the known universe -- that spot is at least three times the size of earth!
Всем известно, что в доисторические времена большая часть поверхности суши была покрыта лесами. В местах, где росли деревья, человек использовал дерево для строительства домов себе и своим служащим.
Долговечность дерева и его использования можно наглядно увидеть, например, в таких постройках, как церкви Скандинавии.
В России, где часто достаточно холодно, древесина широко используется как для строительства домов, так и для церквей из-за ее свойства теплоизоляции от холода. Многие старинные русские церкви деревянные, вплоть до куполов, которыми они отделаны.
