    Expo 2020: Fun facts about space that the kids will love

    Plus, talk to aliens at Expo 2020 -- we tell you how

    space
    Did you know that space is completely silent? Or that Jupiter is the largest planet in the Solar System? Here’s a look at some cool facts about the final frontier – drop them into casual conversation with your kids and watch the awe unfold. For more cool – and unusual - space-related activity, take them to Expo 2020, where they can leave a message for aliens, touch a moon rock and more. Image Credit:

    Saturn
    Saturn is the only planet in our solar system that is less dense than water. It could float in a bathtub if anybody could build a bathtub big enough, says National Aeronautics and Space Administration is an independent agency (Nasa). Image Credit: Shutterstock

    Mars
    Did you know? If you could stand at the Martian equator, the temperature at your feet would be like a warm spring day, but at your head it would be freezing cold! Image Credit: Shutterstock

    Moon
    Craters at the Moon’s South Pole may be the frostiest locale in the entire solar system. In the permanently shadowed crater floors, “daytime” temperatures may never rise above minus 238 degrees Celsius (minus 397 degrees Fahrenheit). Image Credit: Shutterstock

    Neptune
    You wouldn’t be able to walk on Jupiter, Saturn, Uranus or Neptune because they have no solid surface, explains NatGeo. Image Credit: Shutterstock

    Asteroid
    An asteroid about the size of a car enters Earth’s atmosphere roughly once a year – but it burns up before it reaches us. Image Credit: iStockphoto

    Juptier
    Jupiter is the largest planet in our Solar System, with 2.5 times the mass of all the other planets combined. Image Credit: Shutterstock

    Io
    Jupiter’s moon Io is the most volcanically active body in our solar system. The moon’s bizarre, blotted yellowish surface looks like a pepperoni pizza, says NASA. Image Credit: Shutterstock

    uk pavilion expo 2020
    Did you know? At Expo 2020, you can leave a message for aliens. The UK Pavilion is on a mission to encapsulate humanity for a hypothetical message to the aliens. Donate a word into the choral space and watch artificial intelligence string it into a poetry on the façade. Be sure to snap a picture because it is an ever-changing piece of literature.

    NAT US PAVILION 244-1633091502811
    Top off your space voyage with a literal grab for the moon. The smooth, pebble-like stone inside the US Pavilion is no earth-dwelling rock – it is a lunar rock and you can touch it. Outside, visitors can dine under a towering scale-by-scale replica of the Space X Falcon 9 rocket. Image Credit: AFP

    france pavilion expo 2020
    If you’ve always wondered about what astronauts see up there, head over to the France Pavilion to get a realistic perspective. An imitation of a space shuttle window shows you how it would be like to look back on Earth from the orbit. And it replicates the exact size so your out-of-this-world thrill is absolutely real.
