Question

Read the text and mark sentences True or False. What do you know about planets? Mercury is very hot during the day and very cold at night. It is also the fastest planet in the Solar system. Venus is the hottest planet in the solar system. One of its volcanoes, Mat and Olympia’s Mons, is named after the Egyptian god of truth and justice. The beautiful blue color of Earth comes from the oceans which cover 70 per cent of the planet. More than seven billion people live there. The fourth planet, Mars, is named for the Roman god of war. Until 1976 scientists believed there could be life on Mars. Jupiter is the largest planet that we know of. It is a very stormy planet because it spins so fast. Saturn is 100 times the size of Earth, but it is even lighter than water, so it would float in a gigantic swimming pool! Uranus is strange because it spins at an angle. Each pole of Uranus, north and south, has 42 years of sunlight, then 42 years of darkness. Neptune takes more than 160 years to go round the sun. It has the strongest winds in the solar system – up to 2 400 kph. Pluto is not considered as planet anymore because of its strange orbit. True or False 1.
