Meteoroids are small pieces of rock or metal that orbit the Sun and are often fragments from asteroids or comets. When these meteoroids enter Earth’s atmosphere, they burn up due to intense friction with the air, creating a bright streak of light known as a meteor or shooting star. If a meteoroid survives its atmospheric journey and lands on Earth, it is called a meteorite.

The Solar System comprises the Sun, which is the central star, surrounded by eight planets including Mercury, Venus, Earth, Mars, Jupiter, Saturn, Uranus, and Neptune. In addition to planets, it contains their moons, dwarf planets like Pluto, asteroids, and comets. The system is organized with the Sun at the center, and the planets orbit it in elliptical paths, influenced by its gravitational pull.

Stars are always in the sky, but during the day, the Sun's light overwhelms their faint light. The Earth's atmosphere scatters sunlight in all directions, creating a bright blue sky that hides the stars. As the Sun sets and the sky darkens, the scattered light diminishes, allowing the fainter starliRead more
Stars are always in the sky, but during the day, the Sun’s light overwhelms their faint light. The Earth’s atmosphere scatters sunlight in all directions, creating a bright blue sky that hides the stars. As the Sun sets and the sky darkens, the scattered light diminishes, allowing the fainter starlight to become visible again. This is why we can see stars at dusk and dawn but not during the bright daylight hours.

The Big Dipper does appear to move throughout the night due to Earth's rotation. Over a few hours, it seems to rotate around the Pole Star, which stays nearly stationary. At 8 PM, the Big Dipper might be high in the northwest. By 10 PM, it will have shifted towards the north, and by midnight, it wilRead more
The Big Dipper does appear to move throughout the night due to Earth’s rotation. Over a few hours, it seems to rotate around the Pole Star, which stays nearly stationary. At 8 PM, the Big Dipper might be high in the northwest. By 10 PM, it will have shifted towards the north, and by midnight, it will be lower in the northwest. This motion forms a circular path around the Pole Star. Draw this rotation to illustrate.

Under a canopy of midnight blue,
Stars shine like diamonds, crisp and true.
The Moon hangs high, a gentle guide,
Illuminating the world with a silver tide.
Constellations weave tales from ancient lore,
Orion’s belt and the Big Dipper’s core.
The night sky whispers in a celestial tune,
As dreams take flight beneath the silver Moon.
Each star a story, each twinkle a spark,
In the vast, eternal, cosmic dark.
