en CR 24 Solar System: the group of 8 planets and their moons. Which orbit around the sun, along with asteroids, meteoroids, and comets. Sun: a BIG star in the middle of our solar system Star: a huge, bright ball of burning gas that is held together by gravity. they contain hydrogen, helium and other elements Satellite: an object ( like the moon) that moves around a much larger planet Asteroid: Made of rock and metal, ___ can also contain organic elements. They are similar to comets but do not have a visible fuzzy outline and tails like comets do. Comet: close to the sun they display a visible a fuzzy outline due to solar radiation and a tail sometimes Meteor: Something that burns up as it passes through the Earth’s atmosphere. Universe: made up of everything that exists, like planets, stars, galaxies Mercury: the closest planet to the Sun in the Solar System Venus: the second closest planet to the Sun. It is similar in size to Earth. VERY HOT Earth: third from the Sun only known place in the Universe where life exists. Mars: the 'Red Planet' Jupiter: the largest planet in the solar system Saturn: second largest planet in our solar system, features an impressive system of rings. Uranus: third largest planet in the Solar System and seventh planet from the Sun. rolls on its side than spinning like Earth Neptune: four times the size of Earth. It features strong winds and violent weather. Alignment: the act of aligning or state of being aligned Phases of the moon: one part in a series of related events or actions Solar eclipse:an eclipse of the sun by the moon Lunar eclipse: an eclipse where the full moon passes partially or fully through the umbra of the earth's shadow Tilt of the earth:being the angle between the ecliptic Luminous: seeming to produce light Waxing: the moon at any time after new moon and before full moon, so called because its illuminated area is increasing. Waning: the moon at any time after full moon and before new moon (so called because its illuminated area is decreasing Eclipse: a closed conic section shaped like a flattened circle and formed by an inclined plane that does not cut the base of the cone
