Olympiad: speed, space and seasons ★★★, sentence 4

Some claims sound like wild hyperbole but are plain fact, such as "we're whizzing round the Sun at 100,000 kilometres an hour right now", while others that sound sensible, such as "the Moon has a dark side that never gets sunshine", are myths.

Who acts: claims, we, others, Moon, dark side · What happens: sound, be, whiz, have, not get · To what, where: plain fact, 100,000 kilometres, dark side, sunshine, such myths
