Universe and waves
Across
- 3. the barred a spiral galaxy that contains our Solar System, appearing from Earth as a bright band of stars stretching across the night sky
- 5. a rage of all EM waves organized by wavelength and frequency
- 6. a natural satellite that orbits a planet or smaller celestial body
- 7. an object spinning on its own axis that causes day and night
- 9. a giant, interstellar cloud of dust, hydrogen, helium, and other ionized gases
- 11. cancer treatment that uses gamma waves to kill cancer cells
- 13. a star and all the objects bound to it by gravity, including planets, moons, asteroids, and comets that orbit it
- 16. radiation energy caused by variations in electric and magnetic field intensity
- 17. a small, icy solar system body—often called a "dirty snowball"—composed of frozen gases, rock, and dust that orbits the Sun
Down
- 1. systems of dust,gas stars and inersteller matter
- 2. a celestial body that orbits a star, is rounded by its own gravity, and has cleared its orbital neighborhood of other debris
- 4. a tide just after the quarter moons
- 6. a space rock (meteoroid) that burns up upon entering Earth's atmosphere, creating a bright streak of light
- 8. when a hemisphere tilts toward the sun, it experiences summer (more direct sun), and when it tilts away, it experiences
- 10. a type of wave in which the particles oscillate
- 12. a tide just after a new moon or a full moon
- 14. objects in space made of gas and produces its own light and heat
- 15. form Em radiation with long wavelengths and low energy
