A giant ball of superheated gas, or plasma, composed of hydrogen and helium.

Spherical, orbits the sun with a larger mass than near by objects

A streak of light produced when a small piece of rock or ice known as a meteoroid, burns up as it enters earths atmosphere.

A cold trail of dust and ice that develops a long trail of light as it approaches the sun.

A pattern or group of stars and given represents a figure, animal or object.

An oval shape of the planets orbits

Largest planet in the solar system.

An imaginary line that passes from the North Pole to the South Pole

The spinning of earth on its axis

The movements of one object around another

Path planets follow when they revolve around the sun

Earth is most tilted toward or away from the sun which causes the longest or shortest daylight of the year

Earth is not tilted toward the sun which causes equal day and night

The force that attracts all objects toward each other

Law of universal gravitation

Every object attracts every other and it’s force depends on mass and distance

The tendency of an object to resist a change in motion

Different shape of the moon you see

When the moon passes directly between the earth and sun during a new moon

Occurs during a full moon when earth is directly between the sun and moon

Darkest part of the shadow where light is completely blocked

Area of a shadow where light is partially blocked.

Daily rise and fall of ocean water

Higher and high tides during full and new moons.

Lower and higher tides during the first and third quarter moons

Dark smooth lava covered areas covered on the moon

Higher lighter areas on the moon covered with craters.
