Space

2. A large group of stars, dust, and gas held together by gravity. Our solar system is part of the Milky Way galaxy. There are billions of galaxies in the universe.
4. A large object that orbits around a star. Planets are round and do not produce their own light but reflect light from their star. Earth is a planet.
5. The force that pulls objects towards each other. Gravity keeps us on the ground and planets in orbit around the sun.
7. An instrument that makes distant objects appear closer and clearer. Telescopes help scientists observe and study stars, planets, and other objects in space.
9. An object that orbits around a planet or another celestial body. Satellites are used for communication, weather forecasting, and scientific research.
11. A bright point of light in the night sky. Stars are huge balls of hot gas, like our sun. Some stars have planets orbiting around them.
12. A planet that orbits a star outside of our solar system. Scientists search for exoplanets to learn more about the possibility of life beyond Earth.
13. A vehicle that moves by expelling gas from its engine in one direction. Rockets are used to launch satellites, spaceships, and astronauts into space.

1. A special suit worn by astronauts in space to protect them from the vacuum, extreme temperatures, and lack of air. Spacesuits provide oxygen and regulate temperature.
3. A person who travels into space. Astronauts wear special suits and go on spaceships to explore and conduct experiments in space.
6. A bright streak of light that occurs when a meteoroid enters Earth's atmosphere and burns up due to friction with the air. Also known as a shooting star.
8. Station A large structure in space where astronauts live and work. Space stations serve as a base for scientific research and space exploration.
10. A round object that orbits around a planet. Our Earth has one moon. It looks bright in the night sky because it reflects the light from the sun.
11. System A group of planets, moons, asteroids, and comets that orbit around a star called the Sun. Our solar system includes eight planets, including Earth.
14. A ball of ice and dust that orbits the sun. When a comet gets closer to the sun, the heat makes the ice turn into gas, creating a bright glowing tail.
