  7. 12. A ball of shining gas and plasma, mostly made of Hydrogen and Helium and held together by its own gravity.
Down
  1. 1. An astronomical object with a huge density and gravitational pull so strong that nothing, not even light can escape it.
  2. 3. A huge collection of gas, dust, and billions of stars and their solar systems held together by gravity.
  3. 4. Smaller than a planet, orbit the Sun, but don’t have a clear path of their own.
  4. 5. All matter, planets, galaxies, and intergalactic space.
  5. 10. An icy rock that lets off gas and dust and may form tails when flying close to the Sun.
