1. Read the text and translate it into Ukrainian. Learn the underlined words by heart and prepare for dictation. Solar energy (Part II)

A better idea of the Sun’s size will be gained if we describe a simple though impossible experiment. Suppose, that we could take an aeroplane to the Sun, and fly once round the solar equator, moving at a steady speed of 500 mph; how long would it take us to go once round the Sun? The answer is surprising: it would take us 230 days. For almost eight months we would fly at this tremendous rate before arriving back at our starting point. Yet to go round the Earth at the same speed would take us only a little more than 50 hours.

The Sun’s mass is over 330,000 times that of the Earth, and the gravitational pull is extremely strong. If a man could stand on the solar surface, he would seem to weigh 2 tons, so that he would be crushed under his own weight. However, we can hardly hope to visit the Sun, where the surface temperature is almost 6,000 degrees Centigrade.

Until it became possible to form some ideas of the size of the Universe, men were inclined to think that the solar system was really important – just as a man who has lived all his life in a remote country village may think that the scattered houses which make up his own village are far more important than distant London. Nowadays, we know the solar system to be merely our “village in space”.
