The Cosmos is the name given to everything that is above the terrestrial atmoplane.
General
The Sun
Main article: Sun
The Sun is a sphere which revolves above the Earth on a path known as the ecliptic. Its path moves North-South over the year between the Tropic of Capricorn to the Tropic of Cancer. It illuminates a portion of the earth at a time and has daily cycle of one revolution per 24 hours.
The Moon
Main article: Moon
The Moon is a sphere which revolves above the surface of the Earth in a manner similar to the Sun. It moves at a slightly slower rate of revolution, at about 347.81° per 24 hours, rising and setting 50 minutes later each day. The Moon has a monthly phase cycle, ranging from New Moon to Full Moon.
The Planets
Main article: Planets
The planets are spheres which move above the face of the Earth and across the sky with apparent relationship to the Sun. Known to antequity as 'wandering stars', the planets were once thought to be key to the nature of the Solar System and the Earth's place in it.
The Stars
Main article: Stars
The stars are luminous elements which move in a layer above the Sun and Moon at a rate of about one rotation every 23.93 hours. The underlying cause for the rotation is a vast cornucopia of stellar systems orbiting around its center of attraction - an imaginary point of shared attraction.
