Example of expository paragraph
How far is Mars from the Earth in years
Years cannot be used to measure the distance to Mars, since
years are for measuring time.
Since the earth and mars both orbit the sun, the distance is
changing all the time. In 2003, the orbits lined up, and Mars came
within 55 million kilometers.
Driving your car at 50km/hr, it would take 114 years to reach
Mars when it was 55 million kilometers away.
