Great people: Archimedes.

 Archimedes of Syracuse (Ἀρχιμήδης;) was a Greek scientist. He was interested in mathematics (μᾰθημᾰτικά), geometry (γεωμετρία,), astronomy (ἀστρονομία), engineering, philosophy, and physics (φυσική). 

Archimedes was born on c. 287 B. C., in Sicily. Also, he lived there. Archimedes studied in Alexandria.

This scientist made many important things for science in ancient Greece. There is the Archimedes' principle "Any object, totally or partially immersed in a fluid or liquid, is buoyed up by a force equal to the weight of the fluid displaced by the object." There is a formula bout this principle.

Archimedes said "Eureka!" when he understood it.

Our planet is Earth. It's the third planet from the Sun. The planet situated in the Solar System. The Sun is a star. The Moon is a satellite of the Earth. Also, in the Solar System there are other planets and asteroid belt. Mercury, Venus, Earth, Mars, Jupiter, Saturn, Uranus, and Neptune are planets. They are different but revolve around the Sun.

The Milky Way is a galaxy where the Solar System locate. It can be notice during a bright night.
