  14. How big is everything? Arrange the following objects in order of size, starting with the smallest: Moon Planet Star Solar system Black hole Galaxy Universe

  15. How big is everything?

  16. The Night Sky Success Criteria Today you will: Know some objects that you can see in the night sky Understand the structure of the Universe Be able to compare the relative sizes of objects in the Universe

  17. Final thought – how far? How far are each of these objects from the Earth? Can you put them in order of distance, starting with the Earth at the centre? Moon Proxima Centauri (a star) Andromeda (a galaxy) Sun Neptune

  18. Final thought – how far? How far are each of these objects from the Earth? Can you put them in order of distance, starting with the Earth at the centre? Moon = 384 000 km Sun = 150 000 000 km Neptune = 4 500 000 000 km Proxima Centauri =4.0 x 1013 km (4.3 ly) Andromeda = 2.5 x 1019 km (2.5 million ly)
