A star-like body in space that is smaller than a typical planet could refer to a brown dwarf. Brown dwarfs are substellar objects that are too massive to be considered planets but not massive enough to sustain hydrogen fusion like true stars. They typically have masses between those of the largest planets and the smallest stars, forming in a similar way to stars but failing to ignite. These objects can emit faint light and heat from gravitational contraction rather than from nuclear fusion.

What body in space orbits a star and is smaller than a planet?
An asteroid is a small body in space that orbits a star, like our Sun, and is smaller than a planet. Asteroids are commonly found in the asteroid belt between Mars and Jupiter, but they can also exist in other regions of our solar system.
How is a planet the same from a moon?
A Planet is a large body of rock and gas. Planets do not twinkle like star. A planet At Least Has One Moon A Planet Orbits The sun.. that was about planets and now moons a moon is a small rounded body hat orbit around a planet. The moon is not a planet a moon orbit a planet. Now This How They Are The Same.... Both in outer space. planets and moons both have oval shaped orbits. they Both do ot produce there own llight :) The End Im A 4th Grader I Got To Beaver Ridge Elementry :) contact questions and ill answer it!
Different name for asteroids?
small asteroids are called meteoroidsminor planet or planetoids
What is the motion of a body around another in space?
The motion is an orbit. The two bodies take up elliptical orbits about their common centre of mass. When one body is far more massive, like the Sun, it hardly moves and the lighter object (a planet) does all the dashing about.
The natural body in space that orbits a planet?
A natural celestial body that orbits a planet is called a satellite. Moons are satellites of planets. The Earth has one moon, but other planets like Jupiter and Uranus have many moons or satellites.
What small planet like that body orbits earth?
MOON
Which process occurs only when a small space object interacts with a larger space body?
The process you are referring to is called "impact cratering", where a small object like a meteoroid or asteroid collides with a larger body like a planet or moon, creating a crater upon impact. This process is common in space and has been observed on many planetary surfaces in our solar system.
What is a horizon in space?
The visible apparent edge of a body (like a planet or asteroid).

How small is Planet Pluto is to Planet Earth?
small like a bear
Is a planet a place or a thing?
It's both, actually. The Earth is a planet. And a planet is a thing. It's a noun.

What is the name of fragments of planet-like matter that float in space?
You may be referring to asteroids, which are small rocky or icy bodies which orbit the Sun. There are many thousands of asteroids, most of which orbit between Mars and Jupiter. Most of the asteroids are too small to see, but a few of the larger ones are visible without a telescope.
What is a difference between a satellite and a planet?
A planet revolves around a star, and is bigger in mass than the planetoid Pluto; that is, nearly the mass of Mercury or larger. A satellite revolves around a planet, and is smaller than the planet.
Is earths atmosphere in space?
Yes. It is in space just like the whole planet Earth.
How do you have a space party?
For the math worksheet... the answer is.. PLANET... like plan it (:
