17. Appear as dark spots on the photosphere. They are actually moving areas of magnetic activity with temperatures that are cooler than the area of the photosphere in which they are located.

2. Made up of the planets, moons, asteroids, comets, dust and gas that orbit the Sun
3. When the Sun and the Moon are at right angles to each other (first and last quarter), lower high tides and higher low tides are experienced.

8. The rise and fall of Earth's ocean waves that is caused by the gravitational effect from the Sun and Moon.
11. The visible surface of the Sun that emits the light that we see. It is the lowest layer of the Sun’s atmosphere.
12. Made up of gas, dust, and many stars and it has many different shapes it can be.
14. occurs when an object in space passes directly between two other objects or between the object and the viewer.
