Question

Which of the following are examples of celestial objects?
A. Asteroids
B. Moons
C. Planets
D. All of the above

Answer 1

Hint: Celestial bodies or heavenly bodies are the objects in a space such as sun, moon, planets, and stars. Celestial bodies are the naturally occurring physical body that can be found outside the earth’s atmosphere.

Complete step by step answer:
In this question, we have to check each of the given options

Option A
Asteroids are minor objects which can neither be classified as a planet or as a come. Asteroids are the part of the inner solar system that is generally in the direct orbit around the sun. Asteroids are small, naturally occurring rocky objects that are found around the sun. Although the orbit of the asteroid around the sun, they are smaller than the planets.

Option B
Moon is defined to be a celestial body that makes an orbit around the planets. Moon is classified as a natural satellite that earth has and shines at night by the reflection of light from the sun. Moon is a rocky satellite that orbits the earth and has a rocky crust with lunar soil.

Option C
The planet is a large, round celestial body that is in orbit around the sun and has sufficient mass for gravity around the sun in a spherical shape. Planets like Earth, Mercury, Venus and Mars are made up of rocks, and the other planets are made of gases.
So we can say Asteroids, moon and planet all are celestial objects that occurred naturally; hence we can say all three options are correct.

So, the correct answer is “Option D”.

Note:
It should be noted down here that only the naturally occurring physical substances in space are known as the Celestial bodies and not all the particles in the space come under the category of the celestial bodies.
