galaxy a massive group of STARS, GAS, DUST and other OBJECTS ORBITING STARS in space, held together by gravity. main types: Spiral, Elliptical, Irregular
Milky Way our HOME galaxy. Our solar system is located in an outside spiral
solar system the planets, asteroids, and comets that orbit a star, as well as the planets’ moons. STAR SYSTEM SOL/SUN/SOLAR
star GLOWING GAS BALL-- a giant ball of hot, glowing gases smaller/larger/brighter than others based on distance. All except the Sun are so far away that they look like points of light.

Earth Our small rocky planet located 3rd in line from our star called the Sun. 3/WE 3rd rock from the Sun
orbit GOING AOUND---the circular movement of an object, such as a planet or moon, around an object that can hold it in place with gravity, such as a sun or large planet. Larger orbit = Longer Year
revolution 1 thing going AROUND another. Earth revolves around our star, the Sun. Moons revolve around planets 1 revolution around the Sun= 1 Year= 365 days
rotation SPINning/turning ON an axis. Ex Rotate a basketball on a finger. 1 rotation = 1 day= 24 hours

outer planet 1 2 3 4 GASSY GIANTS -- 4 large planets farthest obits from the sun made of ice and gases Many moons Names: . (Asteroid Belt) 5. Jupiter, 6. Saturn, 7. Uranus, 8. Neptune. J:25. S:274 U:27 N:14
Planet Order Me Vacuum Every Monday *oO0*0o0O* Jamming S U N --Try your own: MVEMJSUN
Patterns of Stars looks like moving but STAY THE SAME until SEASONS CHANGE view to different STARS
matter anything with mass and volume (takes up space) the physical STUFF that makes up the universe and can exist in states like solid, liquid, or gas
core the middle or center. Ex, avocado, peach core
Meteoroid/Meteor/Meteorite Small Asteroid in SPACE In our atmosphere Meteor Shower in SKY Meteorite, I hope its light because it's on the GROUND
