- 3. The physical represenation of a scientific observation or prediction.
- 4. A measurement of space between two points, particularly relevant in describing the space between celestial bodies.
- 6. The distance that light travels in one year.
- 7. The process by which particles come together to form larger bodies, leading to the formation of planets and moons.
- 10. The gravitationally bound system of the sun and the celestial bodies that orbit it, including planets and their satellites.
- 14. The attraction between two masses, governed by Newton's law of universal gravitation.
- 16. A measure of the amount of matter in an object.

- 1. The process of obtaining the size, length, or amount of an object
- 2. an object that orbits a planet.
- 5. The average distance between the Earth and the Sun.
- 8. The relative size or distance in relation to other objects; important in understanding the vastness of the universe.
- 9. Kepler's Law that says the size of the orbit affect the time it takes for the planet/satellite to complete the orbit.
- 11. Kepler's Law that says a line drawn from the planet to the sun sweeps equal areas in equal times.
- 12. the oval shaped orbit of planets and satellites.
- 13. Natural objects in space, such as stars, planets, moons, and asteroids.
- 15. Kepler's Law that says Planets move in elliptical orbits with the sun at one focus.
