Winter is the coldest season of the year.  Snowy winters do not occur everywhere as some climates are too warm to allow snow. Snowflakes are special and have six sides but no two snowflakes are exactly the same.  The first day on winter is called the winter solstice. This is not a specific date but can be narrowed down to about two days at the start of the cold season.

This is the time for introspection and healing. The year of the snake is directly opposite to that of the Dragon and is a time for reinvention and growth. The snake is linked to qualities such as quietness, patience and stillness. It is the time to overcome challenges with peaceful resilience. Have a happy new year and many blessings.

Our solar system is made up of the Sun (the source of life in our universe) 8 planets and five dwarf planets. Dwarf planets are planets that are too small to be categorized as planets but too large to be considered asteroids. Pluto has been the topic in astronomy for many years as it was demoted to a dwarf planet many years ago, this decision seemed to upset many people.

Our Solar system is located in the Milky way Galaxy but this is not the only galaxy in existence. Other galaxies exist in not so close proximity to ours. They are also studied to find similarities or potential livable planets.

There are hundreds of moons in our Solar system.  A moon is categorized as  an object that orbits a planet or something else that is not a star. Stars are balls of burning gas. And comets are large balls of ice and gas that have been found to orbit the sun.

Sloths are slow mammals that life up in trees for majority of their lifetimes. They are animals that choose to live alone and spend 20 hours of the day asleep. The remaining time is spent reaching for leaves or consuming tree sap, because they hardly move they do not use a lot of energy. They are known to be so still that plants and moss have been seen to grow from their fur.

Sloths live in jungles that have many wild animals, mainly predators such as large cats or Eagles but sloths have a unique survival technique. They move at such a slow speed that these predators are unable to notice them. Eagles and large cats usually attach animals that move very fast or are able to runaway. Sloths remain safe from these animals because they are so still they often resemble plants attached to trees.

Sloths have long limbs that they use to cling to branches. They also have large claws that help them climb trees and can also be used as a defense if they are ever attacked by predators but they are usually left alone and never have to use these claws.

More English words begin with S than any other letter. The tongue twister 'Sally sea shells at the see shore' seems like the best way to start learning all these English words beginning with S.

Another interesting fact is that the longest word in the English word without a true vowel such as  A,E,I,O,U is rhythm.

The deepest part of the ocean is called the Challenger Deep which is located in the Mariana Trench in the Pacific Ocean.  The water pressure in this part of the ocean is so high that humans can not safely explore it. For many years people believed that the water pressure was too high for any aquatic life to exist. But in recent years scientist have developed technology to explore the Challenger Deep for short periods of time and have found that some ocean life does exist in the deep.  There have been many species of animals found in the Challenger deep, these include species of sharks, octopi and sea cucumber. These animals have spent years evolving to survive in the harsh conditions.

Most of the deepest areas of the ocean are completely dark as sunlight can not penetrate that deep. As a result creatures create light through the chemical process of Bioluminescence.
