1st Year...Planets

The solar system is made up of two parts:

	The inner solar system contains Mercury, Venus, Earth and Mars. These four planets are closest to the Sun.

	The outer solar system contains Jupiter, Saturn, Uranus, Neptune and Pluto.

	The inner planets are separated from the outer planets by the Asteroid Belt.

FACEBOOK, and TWITTER.

These two social networking sites work quite differently, but have the same core idea: to socialize on the web.

Facebook is a website that allows you to connect with your friends, share what you are doing, share photos, organize events, play games, and much more.

Twitter is a website that allows you to post shot, 140 character updates, and allows you to “follow” what your friends are doing, even if they don’t want to follow you.

Now, although these websites are alike in some ways, and different in others, many people compare them on the same level. In my eyes, though, they are two websites for completely different purposes.
When comparing Facebook to Twitter, many differences arise. Facebook is a more intimate site, that allows friends to have live conversations, comment on others statuses, share photo albums, organize events, and more.

Facebook also has more privacy settings than Twitter. It allows you to pick and choose who sees your photos and statuses, who can view your profile info, etc. You can choose to make your whole profile public, but it is set to private by default.

Conclusion

Twitter allows you to communicate to multitudes of people, while Facebook allows you to choose who you communicate with. Neither is better than the other overall, but they each excel at different tasks.
