    The Asteroid Belt

    The Asteroid Belt is a region in space between Mars and Jupiter, containing millions of rocky bodies, known as asteroids. It extends from about 2.1 to 3.3 astronomical units from the Sun. These asteroids vary in size and composition, with some being remnants from the early solar system. The belt plays a crucial role in understanding planetary formation and celestial dynamics.

    Comets, Asteroids & Meteors

    Comets, asteroids, and meteors are celestial bodies in our solar system. Comets are icy bodies that release gas and dust, creating tails as they approach the sun. Asteroids are rocky, often found in the asteroid belt between Mars and Jupiter. Meteors are flashes of light from meteoroids entering Earth’s atmosphere.

    Black Holes

    Black holes are regions in space where gravity is so strong that nothing, not even light, can escape. They are formed when massive stars collapse in on themselves. Black holes have a boundary called the event horizon, beyond which nothing can escape their gravitational pull.

    The Kuiper Belt

    The Kuiper Belt is a region of the outer solar system beyond Neptune that is home to thousands of small icy bodies, including dwarf planets like Pluto. It is believed to be a remnant of the early solar system and provides valuable insights into its formation and evolution.
