Asteroids- A rock, or Minor Planet orbiting the Sun. Astrology.

Meteors- A shooting star, observed when a particle of dust enters into the Earth's atmosphere.

Meteorites- An object from Outer Space, such as a rock, that falls into the Earth and lands on its surface.

Gravitational Pull- The attraction that one object has for another object due to the invisible force of gravity.

Star- A self-luminous object that shines through the release of energy produced by nuclear reactions at its core.
