一定要逃离引力束缚呀。 作者：卡伦·莫克勒 绘图：威尔逊·斯温 思考问题 地球、太阳和其他行星之间是什么关系呢？

Characters. Sun. Closest star to Earth and the center of our solar system. Mercury. Smallest planet in our solar system. Very hot. Venus. Bright and beautiful. Even hotter than Mercury. Earth. Only planet with liquid water or life. Mars. Has seasons, polar ice caps, and weather just like Earth. Jupiter. Huge, stormy planet with a big red

登场角色 太阳 离地球最近的恒星，是太阳系的中心 水星 我们太阳系里最小的行星 温度非常高 金星 明亮又美丽 甚至比水星还要热 地球 唯一拥有液态水和生命的行星 火星 和地球一样，也有季节、极地冰盖和天气哦 木星 个头超大的风暴行星，还有一颗巨大的红色

Setting. Our solar system inside the Milky Way galaxy. The scene opens with Venus standing in the dim light of outer space. Enter Earth. Earth. Venus, it's so good to see you. You're looking just as bright and beautiful as ever. Venus.

故事发生地 银河系中的我们的太阳系 故事开场，金星站在太空昏暗的光线里 地球登场 地球说 金星，见到你太开心了 你看起来还是和从前一样明亮又美丽呀 金星说

Enter the other planets. They arrange themselves on either side of Venus and Earth as they do in space. Mercury floats left of Venus, Mars right of Earth, then Jupiter, Saturn, Uranus, and Neptune.

其他行星依次登场 它们像在太空中那样，分列在金星和地球两侧 水星飘在金星左侧，火星飘在地球右侧，接着是木星、土星、天王星和海王星

Saturn Easy for you to say, Earth. It takes me 30 times as long to rotate around sun. Jupiter Saturn, how many billion years have we been neighbors? When will you learn to keep rotate and revolve straight? Rotate describes our spin, while revolve describes the motion of our orbits. For example, Earth rotates once on her axis every 24 hours.

土星 这对你来说当然轻松啦，地球 我绕太阳转一圈，要花相当于你三十倍的时间呢 木星 土星，我们做邻居都有多少亿年啦？ 你什么时候才能分清自转和公转的叫法呀？ 自转描述我们自身的旋转，公转描述我们沿轨道运行的运动 举个例子，地球每二十四小时就会绕自转轴自转一圈

Sun she gives us all light and heat Venus in life in your case Mars big deal I've got double the moons earth has

太阳给了我们所有人光和热，金星，孕育生命是你的造化——火星 这有什么了不起 我的卫星数量可是地球的两倍呢
