When we say an object is in orbit, we mean that it is traveling around another object in space. What do planets in a solar system orbit?
A galaxy is a grouping of millions or billions of stars along with clouds of gas and dust.

Terrestrial planets have thinner atmospheres than gas giant planets.
The moon is much closer to Earth than the sun

Mass is the amount of matter an object contains, but the weight of an object is due to gravitational force acting on that mas
universe
A galaxy contains stars, gas, and dust. This matter must be held together or the galaxy will break apart. What is responsible for holding the stars, gas, and dust together in a galaxy?

Weight and mass are related, but they are not the same thing. If you weigh 115 kilograms on Earth, you would weigh 19 kilograms on the Moon and almost 272 kilograms on Jupiter. Which statement explains why your weight would be different on these bodi
