Space
Across
- 1. This is a vehicle that can travel in space. Spaceships are specially designed to carry astronauts and equipment to explore and study the universe.
- 4. These are tiny specks of light that we can see in the night sky. Stars are like faraway suns that shine brightly. They come in different sizes and colors.
- 5. Station This is a large spacecraft that stays in space for a long time. It is like a home for astronauts. They can live and work in the space station and conduct experiments.
- 6. This is an object that orbits around a planet or a star. Satellites are used for many things, like communication, weather forecasting, and taking pictures of Earth.
- 9. This is a round object that we can see in the sky at night. It looks like a big ball made of silver or white. Sometimes, we can see the moon during the day too.
- 12. This is a person who travels and explores space. Astronauts wear special suits and go inside rockets or spaceships to go to places beyond the Earth.
- 13. This is a tool that helps us see things that are very far away, like stars and planets. Telescopes make things appear closer and bigger, so we can study them better.
- 14. This is a piece of rock or metal that burns up when it enters the Earth's atmosphere. We also call it a shooting star. Sometimes we can see meteors in the night sky.
Down
- 2. This is a large hole on the surface of a planet or a moon. Craters are formed when objects like meteors crash into the surface. They can be big or small.
- 3. These are big round objects that go around the sun. There are many planets in our solar system, like Earth, Mars, and Jupiter. Each planet is different.
- 6. This is a big, bright, and yellow star in our solar system. It gives us light and heat. During the day, the sun shines in the sky and makes everything bright.
- 7. This is a bright object that moves across the sky with a long tail behind it. Comets are made of ice, dust, and gases. Sometimes we can see comets from Earth.
- 8. This is a tall and powerful vehicle that can take people and things into space. Rockets have engines that create a lot of force to push them up into the sky.
- 10. This is a person who studies and observes things in space, like stars, planets, and galaxies. Astronomers use telescopes and other tools to learn about the universe.
- 11. This is a huge collection of stars, planets, and other celestial objects. Our solar system is part of a galaxy called the Milky Way. Galaxies come in different shapes.
