Galaxy

2. Small rocky or metallic debris in space, typically smaller than asteroids, that can become meteors when entering Earth's atmosphere.
4. Natural satellites that orbit planets, ranging from small rocky bodies to large icy worlds.
6. The curved path followed by an object around a celestial body, such as a planet orbiting the Sun or a moon orbiting a planet.
7. A region between the orbits of Mars and Jupiter populated by numerous small rocky objects called asteroids.
11. Tiny particles of matter that float in the air or space. In space, dust can be made up of tiny solid particles like rock or ice.
12. Inner planets of the solar system, including Mercury, Venus, Earth, and Mars, which are primarily composed of rock and metal.
15. A region of the solar system beyond the orbit of Neptune, containing icy bodies and dwarf planets such as Pluto.
16. A bright streak of light produced by a meteoroid burning up in Earth's atmosphere; also called a shooting star.
17. The force of attraction between objects with mass, such as planets, stars, and galaxies, which causes them to pull each other toward one another.
18. Giant balls of glowing gas that produce heat and light through nuclear reactions happening in their cores. They are the most visible objects in the night sky and are the basic building blocks of galaxies like our Milky Way.
19. Celestial bodies that orbit the Sun and are spherical in shape but have not cleared their orbits of other debris.

1. Natural objects in space, including stars, planets, moons, asteroids, comets, and other cosmic entities.
2. A meteoroid that survives its passage through Earth's atmosphere and lands on the planet's surface.
3. Small rocky objects that orbit the Sun, mostly found in the asteroid belt between Mars and Jupiter.
5. Thin bands of rock, dust, and ice particles that encircle certain planets in the solar system, such as Saturn and Uranus.
8. Icy bodies that orbit the Sun in elongated paths, often developing a visible coma and tail when they approach the Sun closely.
9. Outer planets of the solar system, including Jupiter, Saturn, Uranus, and Neptune, which are primarily composed of hydrogen, helium, and other gases.
10. Large celestial bodies that orbit around the Sun and do not produce light of their own.
13. The star at the center of our solar system, which provides light and heat to the planets orbiting around it.
14. the nearest spiral galaxy to the Milky Way, located about 2.537 million light-years away.
