  • Night Sky Objects: Stars, Planets, Moons & More - A Comprehensive Guide
    Celestial bodies seen at night are called stars, planets, moons, satellites, and meteors.

    Here's a breakdown:

    * Stars: Giant balls of hot gas that emit their own light.

    * Planets: Large celestial bodies that orbit stars. They reflect light from their star.

    * Moons: Natural satellites that orbit planets. They also reflect light from their planet's star.

    * Satellites: Man-made objects that orbit Earth or other celestial bodies. They often reflect sunlight.

    * Meteors: Small particles of dust or rock that burn up in the Earth's atmosphere, creating a streak of light.

    While we see these objects primarily at night, some celestial bodies are visible during the day, including the Sun, Moon, and the planet Venus.
