UNIDAD: 1.- El universo
¿CÓMO ES EL UNIVERSO?Los científicos desarrollaron dos teorías diferentes para explicar como era el Universo.
• Teoría geocéntrica: En el siglo Segundo AC, Ptolomeo propuso que la Tierra era el centro del universo. El Sol, la Luna y los planetas giran alrededor de la Tierra.
• Teoría heliocéntrica: En 1.542, Nicolás Copérnico propuso que el Sol era el centro del universo. La Tierra, la Luna y el resto de los planetas orbitaban el Sol.
En 1.610, Galileo Galilei inventó el telescopio y comprobó el modelo heliocéntrico.
¿QUÉ COMPONE EL UNIVERSO?El universo es toda la materia, energía y espacio que existe. El universo está compuesto por:
• Galaxias: Son grandes cantidades de estrellas, polvo y gases, que permanecen juntas por la atracción gravitacional. Aparecen en grupos llamados grupo de galaxias. Los científicos creen que el vasto espacio entre galaxias está vacío. Nuestra galaxia se llama Vía Láctea.
• Nebulosas: Son enormes nubes de gases y polvo en el espacio. • Estrellas: Son inmensas bolas de gases calientes. Hay tanto calor en su interior que emiten
calor y luz. Su energía viene de reacciones en el interior. Una galaxia puede tener quinientos mil millones de estrellas.
• Planetas: Son cuerpos celestes que orbitan una estrella. No emiten luz, ellos reciben luz de una estrella. Los planetas forman sistemas planetarios. Nuestro sistema planetario es el Sistema Solar. Está formado por ocho planetas, y una estrella, el Sol, así como satélites, cometas, y asteroides.
¿QUÉ SON LAS CONSTELACIONES?Si miras al cielo de noche, puedes ver muchas estrellas. Si tu imaginación une las estrellas
con líneas, puedes imaginar figuras en el cielo. Las Constelaciones son imaginarios dibujos de brillantes estrellas.
Los antiguos griegos inventaron las constelaciones que nosotros llamamos ‘los doce signos del zodíaco’.
El cielo de noche es diferente en los hemisferios norte y sur, por lo tanto las constelaciones son diferentes también.
Hay 88 constelaciones oficiales. Sin embargo, la mayoría de ellas no parecen realmente las míticas figuras que representan.
¿QUÉ UNIDADES DE MEDIDA USAN LOS ASTRÓNOMOS?• Unidades Astronómicas (UA): Es la distancia desde la Tierra al Sol. Aproximadamente 150
millones de kilómetros. • Año-luz: Es la distancia que recorre la luz en un año. La luz viaja a 300.000 km en un
segundo, por esto un año-luz es aproximadamente 9,500,000,000,000 km.
EL SISTEMA SOLAR (I)El Sistema Solar se formó hace aproximadamente cinco mil millones de años del gas y del
polvo de una nebulosa.Nuestro Sistema Solar está formado por:
• El Sol: Compuesto principalmente de dos gases: hidrógeno y helio. La enorme presión y temperatura en su interior, transforma el hidrógeno en helio, en este cambio se genera una enorme cantidad de energía.
• Planetas: Son cuerpos esféricos que giran alrededor del Sol. Hay ocho planetas: Mercurio, Venus, Tierra, Marte, Júpiter, Saturno, Urano y Neptuno.
• Planetas enanos: Son cuerpos esféricos que orbitan al Sol. Son más pequeños que los planetas. Plutón, Ceres y Eris son planetas enanos.
• Pequeños cuerpos del Sistema Solar: Son otros cuerpos celestes pequeños que orbitan al Sol.
EL SISTEMA SOLAR (II)Además del Sol, los planetas, los planetas enanos, nuestro Sistema Solar está formado por los Pequeños Cuerpos del Sistema Solar. Estos son otros cuerpos celestes pequeños que orbitan al Sol. Incluyen:• Satélites: Son cuerpos celestes que orbitan algunos planetas. El satélite natural de la Tierra
es la Luna. Si el satélite lo coloca el hombre, es un satélite artificial, se usa para recibir y transmitir señales.
• Cometas: Son pequeños cuerpos que viajan alrededor del Sol en grandes orbitas elípticas. Tienen forma irregular. El núcleo está constituido por una masa de hielo, polvo, y gas. Cuando los cometas viajan cerca del Sol, parte del hielo se evapora, creando las largas y brillantes colas de los cometas.
• Asteroides: Son objetos rocosos que tienen forma irregular. Pueden tener varios kilómetros de diámetro, pero la mayoría tienen solo unos pocos de metros de ancho. Los asteroides orbitan alrededor del Sol. La mayoría de ellos están entre las órbitas de Marte y Júpiter. Esta zona se llama cinturón de asteroides.
¿CUÁLES SON LOS PLANETAS EXTERIORES?Los planetas exteriores son: Júpiter, Saturno, Urano y Neptuno. Se llaman gigantes
gaseosos porque están compuestos principalmente de gases. CARACTERÍSTICAS

UNIT: 1. – THE UNIVERSE
HOW IS THE UNIVERSE?Scientists developed two different theories to
explain what the Universe was like.• Geocentric theory: In the second century
BC, Ptolemy proposed that the Earth was the centre of the universe. The Sun, Moon and planets revolve around the Earth.
• Heliocentric theory: In 1,542, Nicolas Copernicus proposed that the Sun was the centre of the universe. The Earth, the Moon and the rest of the planets orbited the Sun.
In 1,610, Galileo Galilei invented the telescope, and proved the Heliocentric model.

WHAT MAKE UP THE UNIVERSE?The universe is all the matter, energy and space that exist. The universe is made up of:
• Galaxies: They are large quantities of stars, dust and gases, held together by the gravitational attraction. They appear in groups called galaxy cluster. Scientists think the vast spaces between the galaxies are empty. Our galaxy is called Milky Way.
• Nebulas: They are enormous clouds of gases and dust in the space.• Stars: They are immense balls of hot gasses. There are so hot inside that they emit heat and
light. Its energy comes from reactions in the interior. A galaxy can have up to five hundred thousand millions stars.
• Planets: They are celestial bodies that orbit a star. They do not emit light; they receive light from the star. The planets form planetary systems. Our planetary system is the Solar System. It is made up of eight planet, and star, the Sun, as well as satellites, comets, and asteroids.

WHAT ARE CONSTELLATIONS?If you look at the sky at night, you can see lots of stars. If your imagination joins stars with
lines, you can imagine figures in the sky. Constellations are imaginary patterns of bright stars. The Ancient Greeks invented the constellations we call ‘the twelve signs of zodiac’.The night sky looks different in the Northern and Southern hemispheres, therefore the
constellations are different too.There are 88 official constellations. However, most of them do not really look like the
mythical figures they represent.

WHAT UNITS OF MEASUREMENT DO ASTRONOMERS USE?• Astronomical unit (AU): This is the distance from the Earth to the Sun. Approximately 150
million kilometres. • Light-year: This is the distance light travels in one year. Light travels 300,000 km in one
second, for therefore one light-year is approximately 9,500,000,000,000 km.

THE SOLAR SYSTEM (I)The Solar System was formed approximately five thousand million years ago from the gas
and dust of a nebula.Our Solar System is made up of:
• The Sun: It consists mainly of two gases: hydrogen and helium. The enormous pressure and temperature inside transform the hydrogen into helium, in this change it generate a enormous amount of energy.
• Planets: They are spherical bodies which revolve around the Sun. There are eight planets: Mercury, Venus, Earth, Mars, Jupiter, Saturn, Uranus and Neptune.
• Dwarf planets: They are spherical bodies which orbit the Sun. They are smaller than planets. Pluto, Ceres and Eris are dwarf planets.• Small Solar System bodies: They are other little celestial bodies which orbit the Sun.

THE SOLAR SYSTEM (II)Beside of the Sun, planets, and dwarf planets, our Solar System is made up of Small Solar System bodies. These are other little celestial bodies which orbit the Sun. They include:
• Satellites: They are celestial bodies that orbit some planets. The Earth’s natural satellite is the Moon. If the satellite is placed by man, it is an artificial satellite, it is used for receiving and transmitting signals.• Comets: They are small bodies that travel around the Sun in highly elliptical orbits. They are irregular in shape. The nucleus is made up of a mass of ice, dust and gas. When the comets travel close to the Sun, some of the ice evaporates, creating the long, bright tail of the comets.• Asteroids: They are rocky objects which are irregular in shape. They can be several hundred kilometres in diameter, but most are only a few metres wide. Asteroids orbit around the Sun. Most of them are between the orbits of Mars and Jupiter. This area is called the asteroid belt.
