  • The sun is the center of our solar system, with planets orbiting around it.
  • Our solar system consists of eight major planets (Mercury, Venus, Earth, Mars, Jupiter, Saturn, Uranus, Neptune) and many smaller objects such as asteroids, comets, moons, and dwarf planets.
  • Earth's rotation causes night and day, while its tilt creates seasons.
  • The moon orbits Earth every 27 days, causing tides to rise and fall twice per day.
  • Asteroids are small rocky bodies that orbit between Mars and Jupiter.
  • Our planet Earth orbits around the sun once every year at an average distance of about 150 million kilometers (93 million miles).
  • Mars takes almost two years to complete one revolution around the sun.
  • The moon revolves around the earth approximately once per month.
  • Asteroid belt - A region between Mars and Jupiter where there are numerous small rocky bodies called asteroids.
  • Comet - A celestial body that orbits the Sun and has an elongated shape due to its distance from the Sun.
  • The moon orbits around Earth every 27 days, causing tides to rise and fall twice per day.
  • Astronomy studies celestial bodies beyond Earth's atmosphere, including stars, galaxies, and black holes.
  • Meteors are small rocks that burn up upon entering Earth's atmosphere, creating streaks of light known as shooting stars.
  • Moon - The natural satellite of Earth, which causes tides on Earth's surface.
  • Stars are massive balls of gas that emit light and heat due to nuclear fusion reactions at their cores.
  • Comets are made up of ice, dust, and gas, and can be seen from Earth when they come close enough.
  • Comets are made up of ice, dust, and gas and can be seen from Earth when they come close enough.
  • Mars is known as the "Red Planet" due to its reddish appearance caused by iron oxide on its surface.

  • Jupiter is the largest planet in our solar system and has over 60 known moons.
  • Saturn has rings made up of ice particles and rocks, some of which are visible from Earth through telescopes.
  • Venus is known as the "morning star" because it appears brightly in the morning sky.
  • Jupiter has more than 60 moons, with four large ones named Io, Europa, Ganymede, and Callisto.
  • Nebulae - Giant clouds of interstellar gases and dust that can form stars and planets.
  • Tidal forces on Earth's oceans cause high tide and low tide.
  • Uranus is the only planet that rotates on its side, making it appear like a ball when viewed from space.
  • Comets - Small celestial objects made up of ice, dust, and gas that travel through space on highly elongated orbits.
  • Sun - The center of our solar system, providing heat and energy to all living things on Earth.
  • Galaxies - Groups of stars held together by gravity, including spiral galaxies like our Milky Way.
  • Asteroids - Rocky bodies orbiting between Mars and Jupiter, some of which may have been involved in the formation of planets.
  • Venus has an atmosphere composed mostly of carbon dioxide, making it difficult for humans to survive there.
  • Mars is known as the "Red Planet" due to its reddish appearance caused by iron oxide.
