- - - - Satelite:A natural satellite is a celestial body that orbits a planet. The satellite is generally smaller and accompanies the planet in its orbit around its parent star. Unlike the fragments that orbit in a ring, it is the only body in its orbit
        
        You commit:Comets are celestial bodies made up of ice, dust, and rocks that orbit the Sun following different elliptical, parabolic, or hyperbolic paths. ... Unlike asteroids, comets are solid bodies composed of materials that sublimate in the vicinity of the Sun.
      - Asteroid: An asteroid is a rocky celestial body, smaller than a planet and larger than a meteoroid. Most orbit between Mars and Jupiter, in the region of the solar system known as the asteroid belt; others accumulate at Jupiter's Lagrange points, and most of the rest cross the
        orbits of the planets.
- - - - The lunar phases are closely related to te tides of the oceans and eclipses
      - New Moon It is characterize because its illuminated face is in the oppoosite direction of the Earth. This is why we cant see it often ..In this phase,the moon is passsing betwwen the arth and the sun
      - IFirst Quarter It is invisible a week after the new moon. half of te moon is illuminated towards the earth this phase is called crescent because it is the fist one since the phase of the New Moon
      - Full moon This happens When te moon gets the light from the sun on its visible face and it looks full In this phase , the earth is located betwwen the sun and the moon
      - Last quarter It is produced when the full moon has turned a quarter of a spind and it shows half of its face illuminated .This is because the sun , the Earth and the Moon are located in the right angle
      - Astronomical phenomena in space
- - - - It is satellite phenomenon in which the full moon is located at no more than 10% of its closest point to earth on the way of its orbit. This is because the lunar orbit is elliptical and its center does not correspond to the center of the earth. Gravitational attraction in the moon is stronger, that is why during super moons, waves are much taller.
      - Meteorite Rain
        
        A meteorites is a spatial rock that enters the atmosphere of the earth. While the spatial rock falls,the resistance or friction of the air over the rock heats it up. What we see is a “shooting star “. This trail is not the rock itself but the hot air that shines as the hot rock crosses the atmosphere. When the earth receives many meteorites at the same time, we say that a “meteor shower” is produced.
        
        Auroras
        
        This is an atmospheric phenomenon produced by solar radiation and it consists of the appearance of stains and luminous columns of several colors (green, pink, purple). It can be observed at night in polar regions. In the South pole it is known as aurora australis and in the North Pole as aurora borealis.
        
        Rainbow
        
        This is an optical and meteorological phenomenon that consists of the decomposition of the sunlight in the continuous visible spectrum in the sky. It is produced by refraction, which is when the sunlight beams cross small drops of water contained in the terrestrial atmosphere.
