    The document is a revision worksheet about space objects and concepts related to Earth and beyond. It contains questions about how the spinning of Earth causes day and night, the time it takes Earth to orbit the Sun and spin on its axis. It also asks students to classify space objects as found within or outside the solar system. Further questions define objects like the Moon, asteroids, planets and galaxies. The worksheet explores how scientists study Mars using instruments like telescopes or space probes launched by rockets instead of manned spacecraft, due to the long travel time and harsh Martian environment. Robots are used as alternatives to humans for exploration.
