What is a measurement of distance in space called?
Lightyears
What object in space has a frozen mass of ice and dust?
the rings around our planets are made out of icy dust particles and frozen gases
What is a mass of gases dust particles and stars located in space called?
simple and easy a comet a comet has a solid center nucleus that contains rock particles trapped in frozen liqud this forms the tail: as it moves closer to the sun the "outer ice" turns to gas and the solid particles (pieces) turn to dust
What is a mass of rock moving through space called?
Planet Asteroid Meteoroid
What is a mass of ice and snow that permanetly cover a large area of land?
Glacier A continuous mass of ice covering a . . A continuous mass of ice covering a large landmass is known as a mass of perennial ice. (general term). The ice covering Antarctica is called an ice sheet, and it covers 98% of the continent.
Why are small space objects often potato shaped and large space objects usually rounded?
Small space objects clump together from many different directions giving it a odd shape. once the object gets enough mass, the gravity starts forcing the object into a ball. For example space dust kept on connecting (when in orbit around the sun) until the mass was large enough to force the space dust ( which by then was basically rock) into a large uninhabitable ball which after pulling gasses in to form an atmosphere, turned into what we call now earth.
What has a mass of gases dust particles and stars that are located in space?
A galaxy.
What is a mass of gases dust particles and stars that are located in space.?
nebula
Is dust a matter?
I dont think dust is a matter. As matter requires these two properties, Space and MASS. A dust can only exhibit the property of space *this answer is an opinion*
What is anything that has mass and occupies space?
Matter
What are the effects of a large mass on space?
Large mass (in astronomical terms) bend and distort the fabric of spacetime.
What fills the space between galaxies?
To a large extent, empty space. But there are also isolated stars and other objects, as well as dust and gas. It seems that the intergalactic gas in a galaxy cluster, though thinly spread, has about as much mass as all the galaxies!
What is a mass of gases dust particle s and stars that are located in space?
nebula
What about additional matter from space?
Scientists have estimated that several TONS of dust and rocks fall to Earth each day. Some of it is in the form of meteors, which either burn up in the atmosphere (adding dust and vapor) or fall to the ground (adding solid mass). Some of the dust on your bookshelves is space dust.
Single large land mass?
A large land mass is commonly called a continent.
What is a measurement of distance in space called?
Lightyears
Whirling mass of dust and gas?
In Australia this would be called a willie willie. Dust devil is another common name.
