let's go begin hi everybody and welcome
back to top words my name is alicia and
today we're going to talk about 10 words
for talking about
space
planet the first word is planet planet
so planets are those really really big
things that we have in our solar system
now there are officially eight because
pluto is no longer considered a planet
in my example sentence pluto used to be
considered a planet
star
the next word is star star so stars are
those very very bright objects that you
can see in the sky sometimes at night
that's the closest star to us is the sun
the sun is a star and we can see a lot
of other stars if we look up into the
night sky sometimes in a sentence it's
hard to see stars from big
cities solar system the next expression
is solar system solar system so solar
system in our case here on planet earth
refers to the system of planets and
objects which are near our star so our
solar system now there are eight planets
in our solar system used to be nine
planets sorry again pluto eight planets
in our solar system and then um we can
talk about other objects which maybe
enter our solar system like
like comets for example or a meteor or
some other events might happen in space
within our solar system so our solar
system is the area surrounding our sun
and our planets that we know of in a
sentence mercury is part of our solar
system
comet the next expression is comet a
comet is actually an icy body that is uh
slightly melting and then releasing
gases so that's what produces that look
a comment okay in a sentence comets are
really cool
meteor
oh right so yes the next word is meteor
meteor or just meteor so essentially
meteors are different from comets
because comets are made of ice meteors
however are made of rock so these are
two different kinds of objects that can
that move around in space in a sentence
lots of meteors burn up before they pass
through the atmosphere
meteorite
the next word is meteorite meteorite so
this is an important distinction that
many people don't know about actually
this drives me crazy too so a meteor is
the is the space rock it's in space or
it's in the atmosphere a meteorite
however is the rock if if the meteor
makes it if the meteor can pass through
the earth's atmosphere and fall to the
surface of the earth that rock then is
called a meteorite so in space
in the atmosphere it's a meteor when it
falls to earth it is a meteorite that
becomes a meteorite when it hits the
earth so fun facts okay that's the
difference between the two in a sentence
have you ever seen a meteorite
supernova
supernova supernova so the explosion of
a star is a huge event a supernova is
the name of it so the star explodes and
that's what we call it it's called a
supernova a star explosion in a sentence
supernovas must be incredible things
black hole ah alright the next
expression is black hole black hole
black holes are the subject of a lot of
study
they have intense gravitational pull so
meaning they have very strong gravity
black holes will pull other objects into
them
it is said that like time stops in a
black hole and like if you get too close
to a black hole if you get too close to
the event horizon of a black hole you
yourself will be pulled into that hole
too it's pretty crazy so like the event
horizon is the point at which um there's
no there's no turning back from like you
can't you can't escape essentially the
gravitational pull of a black hole once
you're within the event horizon of that
space it's like crazy you're done for
all this kind of stuff so interesting so
in a sentence black holes are
mysterious galaxy
okay
uh all right so the next word is galaxy
galaxy before we talked about the
expression solar system uh so solar
system is kind of our region of space
the region we're familiar with but the
next step up so if you think of the
solar system as kind of your
neighborhood a little bit you could
think of maybe the galaxy as like your
city or your country maybe it's sort of
the next step out so a galaxy is made up
of lots and lots of stars maybe other
planets other solar systems many other
solar systems in one galaxy so uh i
think yeah we belong to the milky way
galaxy i believe in a sentence our
galaxy is made of lots of different
stars and planets earth
the next expression is earth earth earth
is our planet earth is the planet we
live on earth is yeah habitable meaning
humans can live here this word i
included it in this vocabulary list
because it is a very good word to
practice your pronunciation it is the
word earth earth that r and the th sound
can be difficult to pronounce together
er f earth so this is a great word to
use to practice your pronunciation earth
so in a sentence our planet is called
earth oh that's the end so those are 10
words that you can use for talking about
space i hope that those were interesting

it
like explosion

[Applause]

for space
[Music]
