travel around the sun
2) Asteroid
B) Most asteroids orbit the sun in this area between
the orbit of Mars and Jupiter
3) Planet (Earth)
C) A large body of mostly hydrogen and helium gas
which releases light energy by nuclear fusion.
4) Moon/Satellite
D) Large groupings (billions) of stars in space
5) ) Open Cluster
E) Groups of 20,000 to 100,000 older stars that look
like a ball of stars. They are often located in a
spherical halo around galaxies.
F) A large body composed either of rock (terrestrial)
or gas (gas giants) which orbits the sun. They shine
by reflecting light from the sun.
G) All matter, energy, space and time.
6) Asteroid Belt
7) Star(Our Sun)
8) Meteoroid
H) Very huge clouds of dust and gas that are the
birthplace for star formation
9) Galaxy (Milky Way)
I) A body that orbits around a larger body, usually a
planet. Planets can have none, one, or more than
one of these.
J) Groups of galaxies that are bound together by
gravity.
10) Solar system
11) Nebula
12) Globular Cluster
13) Galaxy Cluster
K) A rocky body smaller than an asteroid that orbits
the sun.
L) Groups of about a few hundred to a few thousand
stars. They may include many young bright blue
stars.
M) Small rocky bodies that orbit around the sun.
They range in size from a few meters to more than
900km in diameter.
