2.

asteroid: a small object made of rock or that orbits the sun

The asteroids present in the solar system revolve around the Sun between the orbits of and . Their size can vary anywhere from 1 km to 700 km. They produce a colossal impact if they enter Earth's and strike its surface.

atmosphere: the that surround a planet

The earth's atmosphere has five layers. These layers include (in order from highest to lowest altitude): the , , , , and .

4.

comet: a body of that travels in a long narrow orbit around the sun

Comets are bodies of frozen gases that have orbits around the Sun. The comet has a short orbital period. It has been spotted every 76 years since 1758.

5.

crater: a large, circular in the surface of a planet or other body in space usually formed when two bodies in space collide

Scientists believe the Meteor Crater in , Arizona was created by the impact of a celestial object nearly years ago. The impact is still preserved due to the hot and dry climate of Arizona.

gravity: a force that exists between any two objects that have

The gravity on the Earth is much than gravity on the Moon. This is because Earth has a mass.

kinetic energy: the energy an object has due to its

The kinetic energy of the turns the blades of this windmill. The blades moving possess kinetic energy. The work done on the windmill by the wind is equal to the windmill's change in kinetic energy.

The child on the swing has kinetic energy when in motion. As in a , the kinetic and potential energies shift as the child swings back and forth.

meteor: a streak of light in the sky that forms when a piece of from space burns up in Earth's atmosphere

A meteor that fell on the surface of Earth some years ago created the Meteor Crater in Arizona. The hole it left measures three-fourths of a mile wide and feet deep.

planet: a large circular mass that revolves around a

Jupiter is the largest planet in the solar system and is composed mainly of liquid and .

After scientists demoted Pluto to dwarf planet, Neptune ranks as the planet in our solar system. Its atmosphere consists mainly of hydrogen, helium, and methane. concentration in the outer levels give Neptune its blue color.
