Best Answer

A celestial body is a natural non-biological extraterrestrial physical structure that is typically observed in Earth's sky on a clear night. Celestial bodies are simple, macroscopic structures that are the subjects of study in astronomy and to a certain extent in physics and chemistry. Sometimes the Earth itself is referred to as a celestial body when the subject is the universe as a whole as in cosmology. Stars, planets, galaxies, nebulae, asteroids, comets, and black holes are all celestial bodies.
