Part of the System
Our planet has one of these but Jupiter has the most with 92. Thats a record!
What is a moon?
This force keeps the moon orbiting earth and the planets orbiting the sun. It's pretty strong.
What is gravity?
This planet sometimes called the "third rock from the sun" is the only one known to contain life.
What is Earth?
The sun is one of these, but it's the only one that's actually in our solar system.
What is a star?
This object is made of rock and obrits the sun between Mars and Jupiter.
What is an asteroid?
Sometimes called weight, this is one of the two factors in gravitational force between two objects.
What is mass?
Known for its rings, this planet has the second highest number of moons coming in at 83.
What is Saturn?
The big dipper, Orion's belt, taurus, and gemini are all these, which are far outside of our solar system.
This ball of ice and dust orbits the sun but never enters Earth's atmosphere.
What is a comet?
A partner to mass, this is a factor in the cause of gravitational force between two objects.
What is distance?
Known as the "red planet" because of the color of it's rusty soil.
What is Mars?
Made up of billions of stars and star systems, our solar system is a part of this not the other way around.
What is a galaxy?
Sometimes called a shooting star, this part of our solar system can be seen when burning up in earth's atmosphere.
What is a meteor?
In order to increase gravitational force, you must do this.
What is increase the mass of the objects or their distance from each other?
A planet no longer, this dwarf was once the 9th planet in our solar system.
What is Pluto?
Formed when massive stars collapse, we would definitely know if this was part of our solar system.
What is a blackhole?
Even though they were put there by astronauts, these are a part of our system because they orbit the sun and are influenced by its gravitational attraction.
Abbreviated as AU this is is a measure of distance. One of these is the space between Earth and the Sun.
What is an Astronomical Unit?
This planet's revolution around the sun is shorter than its rotation making one day take longer than one year.
What is Venus?
What is the Universe?
