What is the definition of a planet?

• The large, gaseous body at the center of our solar system
• An object that orbits a star, is large enough to have become rounded by its own gravity, and has cleared the area of its orbit.
• A natural satellite that revolves around a planet.
• a small rocky body orbiting the sun

What is the definition of an meteroid?

• A chunk of rock or dust in space, generally smaller than an asteroid
• A loose collection of ice and dust that orbits the sun, typically in a long, narrow orbit.
• the closest planet to the Sun, very cold on one side and very hot on the other, no atmosphere, smallest planet, and no moons.
• A planet similar in size and mass to Earth, has volcanoes and a thick atmosphere that is toxic. Rotation longer than revolution- longest of any planet

What is the Kuiper Belt?

• A region of the solar system that is just beyond the orbit of Neptune and that contains small bodies made mostly of ice
• the region of the solar system between the orbits of Mars and Jupiter, where many asteroids are found
• the closest planet to the Sun, very cold on one side and very hot on the other, no atmosphere, smallest planet, and no moons.
