Explanation:

• Question 9: Asteroids are irregular - shaped rocky objects in the solar system. Earth's Moon has a diameter of about 3474 km, Neptune has a diameter of about 49244 km, and Mercury has a diameter of about 4880 km. The object in the photograph is 56 km long, which is consistent with the size range of asteroids.
• Question 10: The gas giants in our solar system are Jupiter, Saturn, Uranus, and Neptune. Pluto is a dwarf planet, Mars and Earth are terrestrial planets.
• Question 11: The Milky Way Galaxy is a spiral - shaped galaxy (not spherical). The age of the Earth is about 4.6 billion years (not the Milky Way). Stars in the Milky Way revolve around the center of the galaxy (not around Earth). The Milky Way is one of billions of galaxies in the universe.

Answer:

• Question 9: an asteroid
• Question 10: Saturn
• Question 11: one of billions of galaxies in the universe
