Words Meaning Example
Earth The third planet from the sun in our solar system, home to diverse life forms. We live on planet Earth, which has a variety of ecosystems.
Space The vast and seemingly infinite expanse beyond Earth's atmosphere. Astronauts travel into space to conduct experiments on the International Space Station.
Astronomy The scientific study of celestial objects, such as stars, planets, and galaxies. Astronomy allows us to understand the universe beyond our planet.
Planet A celestial body that orbits a star, such as the sun, and has sufficient mass for a spherical shape. Mars is known as the Red Planet due to its reddish appearance.
Star A massive, luminous celestial object consisting of hot, glowing gases. The North Star, also known as Polaris, is a prominent star in the night sky.
Moon A natural satellite that orbits a planet, including Earth's moon. We can see the moon in the night sky, and it affects tides on Earth.
Solar System A collection of celestial objects, including the sun, planets, moons, asteroids, and comets, bound by gravity. Our solar system consists of eight planets, with Earth being one of them.
Galaxy A massive system of stars, star clusters, dust, and gas bound together by gravity. The Milky Way is the galaxy that contains our solar system.
Black Hole An astronomical object with extremely strong gravitational forces that nothing, not even light, can escape from. Black holes are mysterious and have a powerful gravitational pull.
Asteroid A small, rocky object that orbits the sun, primarily found in the asteroid belt between Mars and Jupiter. An asteroid impact can have significant consequences on Earth.
Comet A celestial object composed of dust, rock, and ice that orbits the sun in a highly elliptical path. Comets have distinctive tails that can be visible from Earth.
Telescope An optical instrument that gathers and magnifies distant light to observe objects in space. Astronomers use powerful telescopes to study distant galaxies.
Gravity The force that attracts two objects with mass toward each other, responsible for keeping planets in orbit. Gravity is what keeps us grounded on Earth.
Orbit The path followed by an object, such as a planet or satellite, as it revolves around a larger celestial body. The Earth's orbit around the sun is elliptical.
Exoplanet A planet that orbits a star outside our solar system. Scientists have discovered thousands of exoplanets using advanced technology.
Meteoroid A small rock or particle from space that travels through the solar system. When a meteoroid enters Earth's atmosphere, it is called a meteor.
Constellation A group of stars that form a recognizable pattern in the night sky. The Big Dipper is a well-known constellation in the northern hemisphere.
Nebula A vast cloud of gas and dust in space, often where new stars are born. The Orion Nebula is a stunning region of star formation.
Supernova An explosive event in which a star suddenly becomes much brighter before fading away. A supernova can outshine an entire galaxy for a short time.
Spacecraft A vehicle designed for travel or operation in outer space. The spacecraft Voyager 1 has traveled beyond our solar system.
