Across
- 4. nuclear reaction or a radioactive decay process in which the nucleus of an atom splits into two or more smaller, lighter nuclei
- 5. electrical machine that converts electrical energy into mechanical energy
- 8. material or object that produces a magnetic field
- 9. increase in the wavelength, and corresponding decrease in the frequency and photon energy, of electromagnetic radiation (such as light)
- 12. natural phenomenon by which all things with mass or energy—including planets, stars, galaxies, and even light—are brought toward one another
- 13. minor planets, especially of the inner Solar System
- 16. gravitationally bound system of the Sun and the objects that orbit it, either directly or indirectly
- 19. This is my name
- 20. dwarf planet in the Kuiper belt, a ring of bodies beyond the orbit of Neptune
- 21. fifth planet from the Sun and the largest in the Solar System
Down
- 1. type of magnet in which the magnetic field is produced by an electric current
- 2. It has an electrical conductivity value falling between that of a conductor, such as metallic copper, and an insulator, such as glass
- 3. My teacher calls himself
- 6. electrically neutral group of two or more atoms held together by chemical bonds
- 7. a type of elementary particle and a fundamental constituent of matter
- 10. unknown form of energy that affects the universe on the largest scales
- 11. independent agency of the U.S. federal government responsible for the civilian space program, as well as aeronautics and space research
- 12. gravitationally bound system of stars, stellar remnants, interstellar gas, dust, and dark matter
- 14. region of spacetime where gravity is so strong that nothing—no particles or even electromagnetic radiation such as light—can escape from it
- 15. the smallest unit of ordinary matter that forms a chemical element
- 17. Earth's only proper natural satellite
- 18. effort to explain what happened at the very beginning of our universe. Discoveries in astronomy and physics have shown beyond a reasonable doubt that our universe did in fact have a beginning
