circular orbits
The planets move around the Sun in almost ________ (the same goes for the moon orbiting the earth)
Stars
________ and their life cycles produce and distribute all naturally occurring elements.
Prostar
Force of gravity pulls the dust and gas together to form a prostar
Main Sequence Stars
Enters long stable period where the outward pressure and force gravity balance
Supernovas
Big stars glow more brightly as they undergo more fusion and expand and contract several times
Black hole
If star is massive enough, it turns into a black hole
Planets

Dwarf planets
like Pluto, dont meet all rules for being a planet
Moons
orbit planets, natural satellites
Artificial satellites
man-made, that generally orbit earth
Nebula
stars initially form from a cloud of dust and gass
Red-shift
Thought that the universe is expanding
Big bang
The universe started with a bang of a tiny space of very dense matter
