Report text is a text which
presents information about
something. The information
given in a report text is very
general information.

What is lightning?
Rising air currents move particles around the cloud. Usually, positive charges (water droplets) accumulate
towards the top of the cloud and negative charges (ice particles) towards the base of the cloud. This separation
of charge creates an electric field which is also usually negative at the base and positive at the top.
Clouds are made of particles including ice and water droplets. Due to convection, the particles move up and
down throughout the cloud. As they collide, a frictional force strips some particles of their electrons making
them positively charged. Some particles gain electrons and become negatively charged. This process is known
as ionization.
The strong electric field causes the air to break down. This means that the air becomes less resistant and
allows electrons to flow from the cloud, down to the ground. Several paths of electrons start to move from the
cloud. These branches are known as leaders. As they approach earth, objects on the ground respond to the
increased electric field and positive streamers move upwards. When a downwards moving leader meets an
upward moving streamer, this creates a conductive path for electric current to flow. This creates a very bright
spark which we know as a lightning bolt. This entire process lasts for only a fraction of a second.

 The Planets
Universe consists of planets. A planet is a body in space that revolves
around a star. There are nine planets in our solar system, and these nine
planets travel around the sun. The names of the planets are Mercury,
Venus, Earth, Mars, Jupiter, Saturn, Uranus, Neptune, and Pluto.
Planets travel in orbits around the stars. All of the planets of the solar
system revolve in elliptical orbits. In other words, their orbits are like large,
flat circles. The time that it takes a planet to make one revolution around the
sun is called a year.
The Greeks were the first people to recognize and gives name to some of the
planets. Tile word planet comes from a Greek word meaning wanderer if a
person wanders, this means that he goes from one place to another and does
not have a home. The Greeks thought that planets “wandered” in the sky.
However, modern scientists can predict the movement of the planets very
accurately.
