15、 The moon is about 382,000 kilometers away from us. Light from the sun reaches us in 8.5 minutes. The sun is about 149,640,000 kilometers from the earth. The other stars are farther away than the sun. Light from the nearest of the other stars reaches us about four years. Light from some stars takes

16、hundreds of years to reach us. So when we look at a star, we do not see its present condition. We see it as it was long ago; perhaps hundreds or thousands of years ago. The sun is in a great group of stars. There are about 100,000,000 stars in the group. We call this group the galaxy（星系；银河） . Outsid

17、e the galaxy there is empty space; but thousands of millions of kilometers away there is another galaxy. Light from other galaxy reaches us after about 2 million years. There are millions of these galaxies; and they appear to be rushing farther and farther away from us. The astronomers at Mount Palo

18、mar and Mount Wilson and other observatories（天文台，气象站） can see some of them well; but they cant see one as it is now. The light takes millions of years to arrive here.

22、in the gaseous state. It is not in the solid or liquid state. Solids are rigid (固定的 ) and have definite(确定的 ) form while air is a colourless, tasteless, invisible gas, in fact a mixture of gases, which surrounds the planet earth. It is everywhere on the planet. An “ empty”drinking glass and an “ emp

23、ty” room, to give two examples, are not really empty. Each is filled with air. When the glass is filled with water, the water pushes the air out of the glass. Air, as a gas, has no definite shape, but because it is a kind of matter which diffuses(扩散 ), it takes up space. It is easy to prove that air

24、 is something that takes up space. Stuff(填充，塞住 ) a dry handkerchief into the bottom of glass so that it will not fall out when the glass is turned upside down. Push the upside-down glass, holding straight up and down, into a jar of water till the glass is completely covered. When the glass is taken
