- 1. A celestial object made of ice, dust, and rock that orbits the Sun. When it gets close to the Sun, it forms a glowing tail.
- 2. A glowing ball of gas that produces heat and light. Our Sun is a star, and stars can be seen twinkling in the night sky.
- 6. Vehicles designed for space exploration, such as rockets, shuttles, and satellites. They allow humans to study and travel in space.
- 7. A cloud of gas and dust in space. Nebulas can be colorful and often serve as birthplaces for stars.
- 8. The vast expanse that contains everything—stars, galaxies, planets, and more. It is incredibly vast and holds countless mysteries.
