Coronavirus germs live in people’s throats and mouths. When someone (23) has the coronavirus coughs or sneezes or breathes out, the germs come (24) their mouth in tiny drops of water.
Though you can’t see the germs, you can sometimes see these tiny drops. In cold weather, they make a cloud of steam! So if someone else (25) breathes in the air with the coronavirus germs in it, they would probably get the illness.
It’s easy (26) the coronavirus germs from inside your body on your hands when you touch your nose or your mouth. If the person with the coronavirus germs on their hands (27) a door, the invisible germs can live on the handle for hours. When someone else opens the door, they get the germs on their hands, too. And if they touch their nose or mouth, the germs can get into their body.
So you can also catch the coronavirus by touching things that someone with the virus has already touched.

OUTER SPACE

From far out in space, Earth looks like a blue ball. Since water covers three- fourths of the Earth’s surface, blue is the color we see most. The continents look brown, like small islands floating in the huge, blue sea. White clouds wrap around the Earth like a light blanket. The Earth is shaped like, or a ball. It is 25000 miles around! It would take more than a year to walk around the whole planet. A spaceship can fly around the widest part of the sphere in only 90 minutes.
Even though spaceships have traveled to the Moon, people cannot visit the Moon without special suits. The Moon has no air and water. Plants and animals can’t live there either. Astronauts first landed on the Moon in 1969. After that, there were six more trips to the Moon. They brought back Moon rocks, which scientists are still studying. There are holes, or craters, all over the Moon’s surface. Scientists believe that meteorites smashed into the Moon millions of years ago and formed the craters.
The Sun is the closest star to Earth. A star is a hot ball of burning gas. The Sun looks very big because it is so close. But the Sun is just a medium-sized star. Billions of far-away stars are much bigger than our Sun. The burning gases from the Sun are so hot that they warm the Earth from 93 million miles away! Even though the Sun is always glowing, the night here on Earth is dark. That’s because the Earth rotates, or turns around, every 24 hours. During the day, the Earth faces the Sun. Then we see light. During the night, the Earth turns away from the Sun. Then it faces the darkness of space. Each day we learn more about the Earth, the Moon, and the Sun.
