| Question | Answer |
|---|---|
| What is a solar system | A collection of planets, moons, gas and dust that orbit a star. |
| What is a galaxy | A giant collection of gas, dust, planets, and millions or billions of stars. |
| What is a planet | A giant collection of gas, dust, planets, and millions or billions of stars. |
| What is a Universe | The huge space which contains all matter and energy. |
| What is a sun or a star | A massive astronomical body of gas that creates its own energy and light. |
| Whta is a moon | A natural satellite that revolves/orbits around a planet. |
| What is a comet | A ball of ice, dust, and gas that travels through space. They produce a “tail” of gas and dust when passing near a star. |
| Does the moon revolve around the Earth | Yes |
| Does the moon create its own light. | No |
| Does the moon reflect the light from the Sun | Yes |
| What is the first moon phase | New Moon |

| What is gravity | the force of attraction between objects with mass. |
| Gravity depends on | mass and distance |
| The more mass an object has the | the more gravity |
| When objects are closer in distance | the force of gravity is greater. |
| When objects are farther in distance | the force of gravity is less. |
| More gravitational= | possibility for more moons |
