What is the study of space and celestial bodies called?

The study of space and celestial bodies is called astronomy.

Which is the largest planet in our solar system?

Jupiter is the largest planet in our solar system.

What is a shooting star?

A shooting star, also known as a meteor, is a small rocky or metallic body from space that enters Earth's atmosphere and burns up due to friction, creating a bright streak of light in the night sky. The streak of light is caused by the meteoroid heating up and vaporizing as it travels through the Earth's atmosphere at high speeds.

What is the name of the closest star to Earth?

The closest star to Earth is Proxima Centauri, which is part of the Alpha Centauri star system located approximately 4.24 light-years away from Earth.

What is a galaxy?

A galaxy is a massive system of stars, stellar remnants, interstellar gas, dust, dark matter, and other astronomical objects bound together by gravity. These systems can vary in size and shape, containing billions to trillions of stars, and are the building blocks of the universe, evolving over billions of years.

How many planets are there in our solar system?

There are eight planets in our solar system: Mercury, Venus, Earth, Mars, Jupiter, Saturn, Uranus, and Neptune.

What is the role of a telescope in studying space?

The role of a telescope in studying space is to collect and focus light from distant celestial objects, such as stars, planets, and galaxies, allowing astronomers to observe and analyze them in detail. Telescopes help astronomers gather data and images of the universe, enabling them to study the properties, behavior, and composition of celestial bodies, as well as uncovering new discoveries and expanding our understanding of the cosmos.

What is a satellite?

A satellite is an object that orbits around a larger object in space, typically a planet. It can be natural, like moons orbiting planets, or artificial, like man-made spacecraft launched into orbit around Earth for various purposes such as communication, weather monitoring, or navigation.

What causes the phases of the moon?

The phases of the moon are caused by the relative positions of the sun, the earth, and the moon. As the moon orbits around the earth, different portions of its illuminated side are visible from earth, creating the various phases. When the sun, earth, and moon are aligned, we see a full moon, while a new moon occurs when the moon is between the sun and the earth and its dark side is facing us. The changing positions and angles of these three celestial bodies result in the cycle of moon phases we observe from earth.

How does the Earth's rotation and revolution affect day and night?

The Earth's rotation causes day and night by spinning on its axis, with one side facing the Sun experiencing day while the other side experiences night. As the Earth revolves around the Sun, different parts of the Earth receive varying amounts of sunlight, leading to changes in the length of day and night at different times of the year. This combination of rotation and revolution creates the cycle of day and night that we experience on Earth.
