Across
- 2. planet: An object that orbits the sun, has enough gravity to be spherical, but does not cleared the area of its orbit.
- 5. solid inner core of a comet
- 7. Unit (AU): The average distance between Earth and the Sun, about 150,000,000 kilometers.
- 8. Earth and other planets revolve around the Sun.
- 13. fission: Hydrogen atoms join to form helium.
- 15. flares: When the loops in sunspot regions suddenly connect and release a large amount of energy.
- 17. Huge loops of gas that often different parts of sunspot regions.
- 18. planets: The inner planets.
- 21. In a geocentric model Earth is at the center of the revolving planets and stars.
- 25. Cloud: The region beyond the Kuiper belt that stretches out more than 1,000 times the length between the sun and Neptune.
- 26. Central region.
- 27. The inner layer of the sun's atmosphere.
- 28. belt: A region of the solar system between Mars and Jupiter.
- 29. clouds of gas and dust
- 30. The outer layer of the sun, which looks like a white halo.
- 31. An oval shape.
Down
- 1. Must be round, orbit the sun, and have cleared out the region of the solar system along its orbit.
- 3. Loose collections of ice, dust, and small rocky particles whose orbits can be very long and narrow ellipses. (See "Ellipse")
- 4. zone: The outermost layer of the sun's interior.
- 6. Ice and rock formed into small bodies; the beggining of planets.
- 9. The middle layer of the sun's atmosphere.
- 10. meteoroids that pass through earths atmosphere and are found on earths surface
- 11. belt: A region beyond Neptune's orbit that extends to about 100 times Earths distance from the sun.
- 12. giant: One of the four outer planets; they are much larger and more massive than Earth, and they do not have solid surfaces
- 14. A thin disk of small particles of ice and rock.
- 16. small, irregular, rocky objects that orbit the sun.
- 19. Areas of gas on the sun's surface that are cooler than the gases around them.
- 20. chunks of rock or dust that are smaller than asteroids
- 22. zone: A region of very tightly packed gas where energy moves mainly in the form of electromagnetic radiation.
- 23. when a meteoroid enter earth atmosphere friction it's the air creates heat and produces a streak of light
- 24. effect: The trapping of heat by way of the atmosphere.
