Gravity of the Situation
Scale of our Universe
Scale of our Planets
Distance to Scale
100

Airway heights sized objects that are found orbiting around the Sun between Mars and Jupiter.

What are Asteroids

100

This is caused when two objects move closer together or further apart.

What is the change in gravity

100

This is a system that consists of a star and planets revolving around them.

What is a solar system

100

This is the largest planet in our Solar System

What is Jupiter

100

This is the closest planet to the Sun

What is Mercury
200

Objects the size of mountains that come from beyond our Solar System to loop around the Sun and head back out.  Usually identified by their long tails.

What are Comets

200

This is when objects increase in size or mass.

What increases the gravity of an object

200

This consists of billions of stars moving around a central area.

What is a galaxy

200

This is the smallest planet in our solar system.

What is Mercury

200

This is the distance from the Earth to the Sun that Scientist created in order to measure larger distances.

What is an Astronomical Unit AU

300

Chunks of left over Comet Dust or Broken Pieces of Asteroids moving through space.

What are Meteoroids

300

This is when an object is in motion around another object.

What is a revolution

300

This consists of many galaxies grouped together.

What is a galaxy cluster
300

This is an object the width of the united states that orbits another object.

What is the Earth's moon.

300

This planet is so far it has made it around the Sun once in your life time (12 years)

What is Jupiter

400

Chunks of Asteroids or Comet dust burning up in our atmosphere.

What are meteors 


400

This causes planets to continue in motion.

What is inertia

400
The main types of these are Spiral, Irregular and Elliptical

What are the main types of galaxies

400

These planets are giants in size and have multiple moons revolving around them.

What are the outer planets or Gas Giants

400

This planet is the furthest away from the Sun.

What is Neptune

500

satellites that are moving around planets due to gravity.

What are moons

500

This is the reason planets orbit around the sun, the Sun orbits around the center of our galaxy, and our galaxy is moving with clusters of galaxies.

What is Gravity in our universe.

500

These are smaller objects revolving around a central star.

What are planets.

500

These planets are smaller than Earth.

What are Venus, Mars, Mercury

500

These planets are Giants made of gas.
