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 with a diameter of over 140,000 km (86,800 mi), which is more than ten times larger than Earth.
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.
