It is the science of the universe outside of our planet. This is the branch of physical science dealing with heavenly bodies. It has resulted in many practical inventions, ideas, including calendars, navigational techniques, laws of motion, engineering of products and an increased understanding of energy and weather.
also called a satellite, is a relatively small object that is orbiting around a planet.
when one celestial body such as a moon or planet moves into the shadow of another celestial body.
a type of eclipse that occurs when the Moon passes between the Sun and Earth, and the Moon fully or partially blocks the light from the Sun
one of the cyclically recurring apparent forms of the moon
the figure of the moon that is more than half full, looking swollen on one side
the figure of the moon that appears as a curve with pointy ends
growing; describes the moon when the illuminated portion is increasing
shrinking; describes the moon when the illuminated portion is decreasing
In the solar system, It is a large round object that orbits the Sun and has cleared out most of the other objects in its orbit.
The Sun and all of the planets, comets, etc. that revolve around it.
Check all the properties that describes the Solar Eclipse
