Three New Planets – level 1

07-08-2019 07:00

A NASA satellite finds three new planets. They are 73 light-years away. They are interesting. They are intermediate in size.

They are the first planets to be this big. This is a new size for scientists. Before these planets, people only knew of very small or very big planets. For example, the small planets are Mercury, Venus, Earth or Mars. The very big planets are Jupiter or Saturn.

Difficult words: intermediate (middle), size (how small or big something is), knew (past of ‘know’).

You can watch the original video in the Level 3 section.
