5A: I can identify the principle structures of the solar system and describe their rotations and the relative positions of their orbits.

5B: I can describe the sun as being an average star, and also the central and largest object in the solar system.

5C: I can define a light year.

5D: I can compare and contrast small bodies (comets and asteroids), moons, planets, stars, galaxies and the universe.

5E: I can explain the role of gravity in governing the tides, the motions of objects in the solar system, and the motion of celestial objects in general.

5F: I can explain the astronomical basis for days, months, years, phases of the moon, eclipses, and seasons.
