These planets have more mass, they are large and gaseous, and farther from the sun.

The distance that light travels in 1 year; about 9.4 trillion kilometers

The scientific law that states that every object in the universe attracts every other object

Small bodies made up of ice, dust, and rock particles. The Oort Cloud and Kuiper Belt may be filled with billions or even trillion of _____________ (sometimes referred to as " dirty snowballs"

The force that controls the motion of all objects in the universe (mass and distance of the objects determine the strength of gravitational attraction)

Large pieces of space rock with irregular shapes, most are found between the orbits of Mars and Jupiter

Meteors that crash/land on the surface of the Earth

Includes the 8 planets, dwarf planets, moons, and other objects that obit the sun.

The tendency of an object to resist a change in motion-law that states that an object in motion has a tendency to remain in motion- also plays a role in keeping the planets in a curved orbit around the sun

Meteoroids that enter the Earth's atmosphere, burn up and produce streaks of light are called_____________. (they are often referred to as "shooting star")

_______________ the motion of a body that travels around another body in space; one complete trip along an obit

The largest planet in the solar system. Made mostly of hydrogen and helium. The planet is 300 times the mass of Earth.

Is the most distance planet from the sun. Know as an ice giant, has rings, and 13 moons.

Is about the same size as Earth. Has a rock surface. This planet has a thick atmosphere that is mostly carbon-dioxide-gas traps the sun's heat which makes it the hottest planet in the solar system

3rd rock from the sun. It's the only planet in the solar system that can support life.

The smallest and nearest planet to the sun-because of this planets very thin atmosphere, it scorching hot on the side facing the sun and freezing cold on the side that faces away
