- 9. The regular rise and fall of sea levels caused by the gravitational pull of the Moon and the Sun on Earth's oceans.
- 10. The star at the center of our solar system, providing light and heat essential for life on Earth.

- 1. The lunar phase when the entire face of the Moon is illuminated by the Sun, making it appear fully round and bright from Earth.
- 3. The curved path that an object, like a planet or satellite, follows around a star, planet, or moon due to gravitational forces.
- 5. The distinct stages in a process or cycle, such as the different appearances of the Moon as it orbits Earth.
- 6. The third planet from the Sun, home to diverse life forms and ecosystems.
- 7. The luminous celestial bodies made of hot gases, primarily hydrogen and helium, that produce light and heat through nuclear fusion.
