The inner layer of the Sun's atmosphere, can be directly obserrved.
Photosphere
These are the 4 inner planets.
Mercury, Venus, Earth, Mars
List the Outer Planets.
Jupiter, Saturn, Uranus, Neptune
A celestial body in orbit.
Natural Satellite
Sun centered model of the Solar System.
Heliocentric
Observed dark areas found in the photosphere.
Sunspots
The inner planets are mostly small and made of these materials.
Rock & Metal
The Outer planets are made mostly of these substances.
Ice & Gas
Chunks of rock or dust smaller than asteroids that are outside of the atmosphere.
Meteoroids

Prominences
These two inner planets have moons.

Gas Giants
When entering Earth's atmosphere, the friction with the air creates heat that produces a streak of light.
Meteor

Uranus & Neptune
These pass through the atmosphere and hit Earth's surface.
Meteorites
States that every object in the universe attracts every other object.
Law of Universal Gravitation
The energy from the sun's energy originates here, then radiates outward in the radiative zone to the convection zone.
Core
Has a dense atmosphere made mostly of carbon dioxide causing it to have extremely high temperatures.
Venus
This planet is the most massive, have exceptional gravitational pull, and is responsible for the asteroid belt.
