Welcome to this deck on Our Solar System and Stars. We'll explore the objects that make up our cosmic neighbourhood, from planets to comets. We will also discover how gravity controls their orbits, and then journey through the entire life story of stars, from their birth in clouds of gas to their dramatic final stages.
Lesson#2
Our solar system consists of a star, the Sun, at its centre, and everything that is held in orbit by its gravity. This includes the eight planets, their natural satellites, which we call moons, as well as dwarf planets, asteroids, and comets.
Quiz#3
What is the name of the star at the centre of our solar system?
the Sun
Quiz#4
What is the general name for a large body that orbits a star?
a planet
Quiz#5
What do we call a natural satellite that orbits a planet?
a moon
Quiz#6
What are the small, rocky objects that orbit the Sun, mostly found between Mars and Jupiter?
asteroids
