WALLS

There are lots of walls in the world. Most of them are very very famous but some are not so much. I'm going to to talk about the Great Wall of China. Did you know that you can see the Great Wall of China from space. This is what make it very special. The Great Wall of China is the biggest structure ever built by humans. It was built over 2,000 years ago because the emperor wanted to protect his land and people. There were a group of people used to come in a steal things, created choas and kill people so the he built a wall.Many people died during the building of the wall and it is 22000 kilometres (13670 miles). I think some of it isn't fair because many people died and risked their lives whilst they were building the wall. The Great Wall of China is a tourist attraction today. Millions of people are visiting it right now. Thank you for reading this. Feel free to give more information about this wall or other walls.

Thanks for telling us about the Great Wall. I have awarded you a star for your curiosity. Can the wall definitely be seen from space? I am sceptical about this! What's your source?

I'm not sure if you can see it from space. I am confused because if you go in a geography text book in a picture of earth from space I can't see it!

Astronauts in the International Space Station regularly see the Wall from space, on a clear day over China (obviously even they can't see through clouds). Check out ISS and other space images of China - it is the largest man-made feature visible from space. Moreover, nowadays, space photography combined with GPS can photograph objects that are much smaller than the wall - even a herd of elephants in the Savannah can be seen in some very detailed images.
