Down
- 1. Irregular shaped rocky bodies that usually orbit the Sun in a region called the Asteroid Belt
- 3. The most prominent layer of the sun's atmosphere
- 4. Most have rocky surfaces and are studied in relation to the planets that they orbit
- 5. Planets that are made up of thick atmospheres of gas that surround a core
- 6. Chunks of rock that randomly move around the solar system. They have no fixed orbit
- 7. Caused by the increased number of particles in solar wind due to solar flares and prominences
- 8. Explosions of hot gas that shoot from the Sun's surface, releasing tremendous amounts of energy into space
- 11. The glowing of the sky caused by charged particles coming in contact with the Earth's atmosphere
