Factual Report Text Tentang Matahari

The Sun is a star found at the center of the Solar System.At around 1,392,000 kilometres (865,000
miles) wide, the Sun’s diameter is about 110 times wider than Earth’s.

Around 74% of the Sun’s mass is made up of hydrogen. Helium makes up around 24% while heavier
elements such as oxygen, carbon, iron and neon make up the remaining percentage. The Sun
generates huge amounts of energy by combining hydrogen nuclei into helium. This process is called
nuclear fusion.

The Sun’s surface temperature is around 5500 degrees Celsius (9941 degrees Fahrenheit). The Sun’s
core is around 13600000 degrees Celsius. The average distance from the Sun to the Earth is around
150 million kilometers. Light from the Sun reaches Earth in around 8 minutes.

Because of the Sun’s huge influence on Earth, many early cultures saw the Sun as a deity or god. For
example, Ancient Egyptians had a sun god called Ra while in Aztec mythology there is a sun god
named Tonatiuh.

The Moon is the Earth’s only natural satellite. A natural satellite is a space body that orbits a planet, a
planet like object or an asteroid. The Moon is about 250,000 miles (384,400 kilometres) from Earth.

The Moon travels a distance of 1,423,000 miles (2,290,000 kilometres) around the Earth. The Moon
takes about 27 days (27 days, 7 hours, 43 minutes, 11.6 seconds) to go all the way around the Earth
and return to its starting position. The Moon’s orbit around the Earth is a slightly squashed circle called
an ellipse. Looking down from the north pole we would see the Moon orbiting counterclockwise from
west to east.

The Moon is not a light source, it does not make its own light. The moon reflects light from the sun.
We can see the Moon because light from the Sun bounces off it back to the Earth.

The Moon has a diameter of 2,000 miles ( 3,476 kilometres). The surface of the Moon has about the
same area as the continent of Africa. The surface of the moon has many things on it such as craters,
lava plains, mountains, and valleys. Scientists believe the craters were formed around 3.5 to 4.5 billion
years ago by meteors hitting the moon’s surface. Footprints left on the Moon by Apollo astronauts will
remain visible for at least 10 million years because there is no erosion on the Moon.

3. Factual Report Text Pendek Tentang Komet

A comet is a relatively small solar system body that orbits the Sun. When close enough to the Sun
they display a visible coma (a fuzzy outline or atmosphere due to solar radiation) and sometimes a
tail.

The coma is created as the comet gets closer to the Sun, causing water, carbon dioxide and other
compounds to sublime (quickly changing from solid to gas) from its surface.
Comets are made of ice, dust and small rocky particles.

The name comet comes from the Greek word meaning ‘hair of the head’, it came from the Greek
philosopher Aristotle who observed comets as ‘stars with hair’.

Short term comets (also known as periodic comets) have orbital periods of less than 200 years while
long term comets have orbital periods of over 200 years.

4. Factual Report Text Tentang Dinosaurus Tyrannosaurus Rex

‘Tyrannosaurus’ comes from the Greek words meaning ‘tyrant lizard’, while the word ‘rex’ means ‘king’
in Latin. Tyrannosaurus rex is often abbreviated to T-Rex.

Tyrannosaurus rex lived in an area of the Earth that now makes up western North America.
Tyrannosaurus rex lived in the late Cretaceous Period, around 66 million years ago.

Tyrannosaurus rex walked on two legs, balancing its huge head with a long and heavy tail that
sometimes contained over 40 vertebrae. Tyrannosaurus rex had small arms that were extremely
powerful and featured two clawed fingers.

Tyrannosaurus rex measured up to 13m (42ft) in length, 4m (13ft) at the hip and could weigh up to 7
tons. The skull of a Tyrannosaurus rex alone measured up to 1.5m (5ft) long. The largest tooth of any
carnivorous dinosaur found to this date is that of a T-Rex. It is estimated to have been around 30cm
(12in) long when including the root.

Along with Stegosaurus and Iguanodon, Tyrannosaurus rex was one of three dinosaurs that inspired
the appearance of Godzilla. Tyrannosaurus rex was represented in the popular Transformers toy line
and animated series as Grimlock, an Autobot that could transform into a powerful Tyrannosaurus rex.

5. Factual Report Text Tentang Dinosaurus Triceratops

The Triceratops was a plant eating (herbivore) dinosaur. The name ‘Triceratops’ comes from the Greek
language, with ‘tri’ meaning three and ‘keratops’ meaning horned face. The Triceratops is one of the
most easily recognizable dinosaurs due to its large body, unique frill and three horns. It needed its
three horns to try and protect itself from the Tyrannosaurus Rex which lived during the same time
period.

Triceratops lived in the late Cretaceous Period (around 65 million years ago).
It is believed that fully grown Triceratops were about 8m (26ft) in length, 3m (10ft) in height and
weighed anywhere between 6 to 12 tons.

The skull of a Triceratops alone could grow over 2m (7ft) in length. Triceratops had anywhere between
400 and 800 teeth, although only a small percentage of these were in use at any one time as they
were constantly replaced throughout its lifetime.

Triceratops was represented in the popular Transformers toy line and animated series as Slag, an
Autobot that could transform into a Triceratops form.
