Question 2:What is the first star we see in the sky?

Question 3:Are asteroids like planets?

Answer:Yes,they are.The universe was formed by a        huge of swirling gas and small rocky particles. These were attracted to the centre and formed planets by particle joining together.Asteroids are also formed like this but because they don't become big enough ,therefore,they don't       turn into planets.They are like irregular solids/potatoes flowing around in space.

Question 4:Is it a sign of danger when a meteorite is           seen in the sky?

Answer:No.it isn't.Meteorites flow around and sometimes can be seen ,as stars are seen,they die(burst) before they reach to earth.A bad news-meteorites hit the Earth,once every 65 mil. years.Once a      meteorite had hit the Earth which caused a big hole with a diameter of around 10 km.      Incredible,right!The universe is full of       incredibility.One more incredible thing is that at that time there was no Sun for at least 30 days.Pretty Adventurous!
