atmosphere: The outer layer of gas that surrounds Earth or another planet or moon.
atom: The basic unit of a chemical element. An atom consists of a dense nucleus containing positively charged protons and uncharged neutrons. A cloud of negatively charged electrons orbits the nucleus.
atom: It has to do with atoms, the smallest units that make up chemical elements.
Black Hole: A region of space with an extremely strong gravitational field from which matter and radiation (including light) cannot escape.
Celestial: (in astronomy) of or relating to the sky or universe.
Celestial Bodies: Naturally formed objects of significant size in outer space. Examples include comets, asteroids, planets, moons, stars, and galaxies.
circuit: A network that transmits electrical signals. In the body, nerve cells form circuits that relay electrical signals to the brain. In electronic devices, wires typically route those signals to activate mechanical, computational, or other functions.
Space: An adjective referring to the universe, i.e. the cosmos and everything in it.
Cosmic rays: Extremely energetic particles (mainly protons) that bombard Earth from all directions. These particles originate outside the solar system. They are the equivalent of atomic nuclei. They travel at high speeds through space (often close to the speed of light).
Cosmos: (adjective: cosmic) A term referring to the universe and everything in it.
Confuse: (noun: disrupt) To break something down, interrupt the normal working of something, or throw into disarray the normal organization (or order) of something.
DNA: (short for deoxyribonucleic acid) A long, double-stranded, spiral-shaped molecule that carries genetic instructions inside most living cells. It is built on a backbone of phosphorus, oxygen, and carbon atoms. In all living organisms, including plants, animals, and microorganisms, these instructions tell the cell which molecules to make.
charge: The physical property that causes electrical force. It can be negative or positive.
electronics: A device that is electrically powered but whose properties are controlled by semiconductors or other circuits that direct or control the movement of electric charges.
magnetic field: A field of influence created by certain substances called magnets, or by the movement of electric charges.
Muon: A type of unstable elementary particle. On Earth, most muons are formed when cosmic rays interact with atoms in the atmosphere. As leptons, muons belong to the same class of particles as electrons, except that they are about 200 times more massive than electrons. Muons tend to be short-lived; they only last for 2.2 microseconds before decaying (transforming) into an electron and two types of neutrinos.
particle: A trace of something.
planet: They are large celestial bodies that orbit stars, but unlike stars, they do not produce any visible light.
proton: A subatomic particle that is one of the basic building blocks of atoms that make up matter. Protons belong to a group of particles called hadrons.
pyramid: A monumental structure with a square or triangular base and sloping sides that meet at a point at the top. The best-known are the royal tombs of Ancient Egypt, built of stone.
Speed of Light: A constant commonly used in physics, equal to 1,080,000,000 kilometers (671,000,000 miles) per hour.
Star: The basic building blocks from which galaxies are made. Stars form when gravity compresses gas clouds. When a star becomes hot enough, it emits light and other forms of electromagnetic radiation. The Sun is the closest star to us.
solar: The star at the center of Earth’s solar system, about 27,000 light-years away from the center of the Milky Way galaxy. Also a term used to refer to all stars like the Sun.
Supernova: (plural: supernova or supernovae) A star that has lost most (or all) of its mass in a catastrophic explosion and suddenly becomes much brighter.
Volcano: A place where the Earth’s crust is open, and magma and gases can erupt from a reservoir of molten material underground. The magma rises through a system of pipes and channels, sometimes spending time in chambers where it bubbles with gas and undergoes chemical changes. This plumbing system can become more complex over time. This can also change the chemical composition of the lava over time. The surface around the volcano’s opening grows into a hill or cone as successive eruptions spew more lava to the surface, where it cools and turns into hard rock.
