Across
- 3. the temp where all molecules stop moving
- 4. what started the universe
- 6. the angular distance of a particular point measured eastward along the celestial equator
- 9. the great circle of the imaginary celestial sphere on the same plane as the equator of Earth
- 10. the group of galaxies that our galaxy is located in.
- 13. the galaxy we live in
- 14. a nuclear reaction in which atomic nuclei of low atomic number fuse to form a heavier nucleus with the release of energy.
- 15. planets closest to the sun
- 18. the universe will expand at a constant rate forever
- 19. a unit that represents the mean distance between the Earth and our sun. approximately 93 million miles (150 million km).
- 23. a small rocky body orbiting the sun
- 27. cosmic balls of frozen gas, their tail always faces away from the sun.
- 28. a very large star, believed to be in its later stage of evolution
- 31. the plane of Earth's orbit around the Sun from the perspective of an observer on Earth.
- 32. medium sized rocky bodies that come together to form planets
- 33. a torus-shaped region in the Solar System, located roughly between the orbits of the planets Jupiter and Mars, that is occupied by a great many solid, irregularly shaped bodies
Down
- 1. galaxy closest to the milky way
- 2. rocky planets
- 5. gas planets
- 7. a unit of distance used in astronomy, equal to about 3.26 light years (3.086 × 1013 kilometres).
- 8. small rocky bodies that come together to form protoplanetary bodies and planets.
