  1. 5. A large blue-green planet that is seventh from the Sun; a gas giant.
  2. 8. A single journey along an orbital path. It takes Earth 365 1/4 days to do this around the sun.
  3. 9. A single turn of something around an axis or a fixed point; spinning. It takes Earth 24 hours!
  4. 14. The center of an object. (Think about an apple.)

  8. 18. A dwarf planet that was discovered in 1930 and that was once considered a planet.
  9. 19. An area of our solar system beyond the orbit of Neptune where a group of minor planets and other objects orbit the Sun.
  10. 20. a nearly round object that orbits a star,
  11. 23. planet we live on. Easy one!!
  12. 25. Sun is one of these!)

Down
  1. 1. A planet with large rings around it that is sixth from the Sun; a gas giant.
  2. 2. This means to revolve around another object. Our Moon does this to Earth

  10. 13. The smallest planet in our solar system and the closest to the Sun; a terrestrial planet.
  11. 15. A hole in the ground caused by the impact of an object from space. The moon looks like swiss cheese because it has so many.
  12. 21. The area in space between Mars and Jupiter where most asteroids orbit together. It will not help hold up your pants!!
  13. 22. is smaller than a planet, and is not a satellite of another object. Think~Pluto!
