Across
- 4. interstellar clouds of dust and gas that provide the raw material for star formation
- 6. leaves a bright streak of light in our atmosphere and burn up
- 7. rocky or metallic objects that are usually found in our solar system orbiting the sun (also very big)
- 8. icy small solar system bodies produce a coma of gas and dust when they get to the sun and makes a very cool effect in the night sky
Down
- 1. it’s a vast system of stars, dust and gas that are held together by gravity
- 2. shooting stars (make a wish)
- 3. bodies that orbit a star, they have a spherical shape and can range from being rocky to gas giants
- 5. luminous celestial objects made mostly of hydrogen and helium that are held together by gravity
- 6. fragments of shooting stars that are able to reach the earth’s surface
