1. EARTH and LIFE
SCIENCE
Differentiate the UNIVERSE, GALAXY and
SOLAR SYSTEM

• Solar System: Consists of the Sun, and
everything bound to it by gravity. This
includes the 8 planets and their moons,
the asteroids, the dwarf planets, all the
Kuiper belt objects, the meteoroids,
comets and interplanetary dust.

3. GALAXY
Galaxy : large
system of stars held together by
mutual gravitation and isolated from
similar systems by vast regions of
space. The Milky Way measures
about 100,000 light-years across,
and is thought to contain 200 billion
stars.

4. Universe : the
totality of known or supposed
objects and phenomena
throughout space; the cosmos;
macrocosm.
