Is a giant ball of superheated gas, or plasma,composed of hydrogen and helium

Spherical, orbits the Sun, with a larger mass then nearby objects

Is a streak of light produced when a small piece of rock or ice known as a meteoroid, burns up as it enters Earth’s atmosphere

Is a cold mixture of dust and ice that develops a long trail of light

A pattern or group of stars that people imagine represents a figure ,animal or object

Because he is the Greek word for “Earth” an Earth-centered model .

An Ancient Greek scientist named Aristarchus who lived over 400 years before Ptolemy

Orbit of each planet is actually an ellipse an oval shape rather than a perfect circle

Largest object in our solar system

And the spinning of Earth on its Axis is called rotation

Is the movement of one object around another

Around the sun is a ellipse an oval shape

Is one day per day year when the sun appears highest in the sky

That same force that pulls the moon toward Earth also pulls apples to ground when they fall from a tree

This force that attracts all objects toward each other

Law of universal gravitation

Every object in the universe attracts every other object

Is the tendency of an object to resist a change in motion
