Asteroids are minor planets , especially those ___MASK22___ the inner Solar System . The larger ones have also been called planetoids . These terms have historically been applied to any astronomical object orbiting the Sun that did not show the disc ___MASK22___ a planet and was not observed to have the characteristics ___MASK22___ an active comet . As minor planets in the outer Solar System were discovered and found to have volatile - based surfaces that resemble those ___MASK22___ comets , they were often distinguished from asteroids ___MASK22___ the asteroid belt . In this article , the term " asteroid " refers to the minor planets ___MASK22___ the inner Solar System including those co - orbital with Jupiter . ___MASK48___ ___MASK8___ is the northern part or region of ___MASK8___ . Although no definitive borders or definition exists for the term , geographically , ___MASK48___ ___MASK8___ may be considered to consist approximately of all of ___MASK8___ above the 52nd parallel north ; which includes ( from ___MASK93___ to ___MASK38___ ) ___MASK97___ or all of : Iceland , the Republic of Ireland , the Isle of Man , the United Kingdom , the Faroe Islands , the Netherlands , northern Germany , ___MASK39___ , Norway , Sweden , northern Poland , Finland , Estonia , Latvia , Lithuania and ___MASK71___ Russia . However , narrower definitions may also be used based on other geographical factors , such as climate and ecology . Greenland , geographically a part of North America , is politically a part of the Kingdom of ___MASK39___ , and may be included depending on the definition . Outer space , deep space , or just space , is the void that exists between celestial bodies , including ___MASK86___ . It is not completely empty , but consists ___MASK22___ a hard vacuum containing a low density ___MASK22___ particles , predominantly a plasma ___MASK22___ hydrogen and helium as well as electromagnetic radiation , magnetic fields , neutrinos , dust and cosmic rays . The baseline temperature , as set by the background radiation from the Big Bang , is 2 . 7 kelvins ( K ) ( 270 . 45 ° C ;  454 . 81 ° F ). Plasma with a number density ___MASK22___ less than one hydrogen atom per cubic metre and a temperature ___MASK22___ millions ___MASK22___ kelvins in the space between galaxies accounts for ___MASK97___ ___MASK22___ the baryonic ( ordinary ) matter in outer space ; local concentrations have condensed into stars and galaxies . In ___MASK97___ galaxies , observations provide evidence that 90 % ___MASK22___ the mass is in an unknown form , called dark matter , which interacts with other matter through gravitational but not electromagnetic forces . Data indicates that the majority ___MASK22___ the mass - energy in the observable universe is a poorly understood vacuum energy ___MASK22___ space which astronomers label dark energy . Intergalactic space takes up ___MASK97___ ___MASK22___ the volume ___MASK22___ the Universe , but even galaxies and star systems consist almost entirely ___MASK22___ empty space . A meteorite is a solid piece ___MASK22___ debris from an object , such as a comet , asteroid , or meteoroid , that originates in outer space and survives its passage through the Earth ' s atmosphere and impact with the Earth ' s surface or that ___MASK22___ another planet . When the object enters the atmosphere , various factors like friction , pressure , and chemical interactions with the atmospheric gases cause it to heat up and radiate that energy . It then becomes a meteor and forms a fireball , also known as a shooting / falling star ; astronomers call the brightest examples " bolides ." Meteorites that survive atmospheric entry and impact vary greatly in size . For geologists , a bolide is a meteorite large enough to create a crater . METeOR ( Metadata Online Registry ), ___MASK75___  s repository for national metadata standards for health , housing and community services statistics and information . METeOR is a Metadata registry based on the 2003 version of the ISO / IEC 11179 Information technology - Metadata registries standard .

A stream is a body ___MASK22___ water with a current , confined within a bed and ___MASK37___ . Depending on its location or certain characteristics , a stream may be referred to as a " bayou ", " beck ", " branch ", " brook ", " burn ", " creek ", " crick ", " ghyll ", " gill ", " kill ", " lick ", " mill race ", " race ", " rill ", " river ", " rivulet ", " run ", " runnel ", " streamage ", " ___MASK84___ ", or " wash ". Mien is a lake in southern ___MASK13___ , 12 km ( 7 . 5 mi ) ___MASK31___ of the town of Tingsryd . The lake is formed within a meteorite crater . The eroded crater is marked by a 5 . 5 - km ( 3 . 4 - mi ) diameter circular lake ( Lake Mien ) . The original crater rim is estimated to have been about 9 km in diameter before erosion . Its age is estimated to be 121 . 0 ± 2 . 3 million years ( Early Cretaceous ) . Atmospheric entry is the movement ___MASK22___ an object from outer space into and through the gases ___MASK22___ an atmosphere ___MASK22___ a planet , dwarf planet or natural satellite . There are two main types ___MASK22___ atmospheric entry : uncontrolled entry , such as the entry ___MASK22___ astronomical objects , space debris or bolides ; and controlled entry ( or reentry ) ___MASK22___ a spacecraft capable ___MASK22___ being navigated or following a predetermined course . Technologies and procedures allowing the controlled atmospheric entry , descent and landing ___MASK22___ spacecraft are collectively abbreviated as EDL . Atmospheric drag and aerodynamic heating can cause atmospheric breakup capable ___MASK22___ completely disintegrating smaller objects . These forces may cause objects with lower compressive strength to explode . A ___MASK99___ is a natural flowing watercourse , usually ___MASK87___ , flowing towards an ocean , sea , lake or another ___MASK99___ . In some cases a ___MASK99___ flows into the ground and becomes dry at the end of its course without reaching another body of water . Small rivers can be referred to using names such as stream , creek , brook , rivulet , and rill . There are no official definitions for the generic term ___MASK99___ as applied to geographic features , although in some countries or communities a stream is defined by its size . Many names for small rivers are specific to geographic location ; examples are " run " in some parts of the United States , " burn " in Scotland and northeast England , and " beck " in northern England . Sometimes a ___MASK99___ is defined as being larger than a creek , but not always : the language is vague . A lake is an area ___MASK22___ variable size filled with water , localized in a basin , that is surrounded by land , apart from any river or other outlet that serves to feed or drain the lake . ___MASK100___ lie on land and are not part ___MASK22___ the ocean , and therefore are distinct from lagoons , and are also larger and deeper than ponds , though there are no official or scientific definitions . ___MASK100___ can be contrasted with rivers or streams , which are usually flowing . Most ___MASK100___ are fed and drained by rivers and streams . A meteoroid is a small rocky or metallic body in outer space . Meteoroids are significantly smaller than asteroids , and range in size from small grains to 1 meter - wide objects . Objects smaller than this are classified as micrometeoroids or space dust . ___MASK97___ are fragments from comets or asteroids , whereas others are collision impact debris ejected from bodies such as the Moon or Mars .

The EU has developed an internal single market through a standardised system of laws that apply in all member states . EU policies aim to ensure the free movement of people , goods , services , and capital within the internal market , enact legislation in justice and home affairs , and maintain common policies on trade , agriculture , fisheries , and regional development . Within the Schengen Area , passport controls have been abolished . A monetary union was established in 1999 and came into full force in 2002 , and is composed of 19 EU member states which use the euro currency . A lagoon is a shallow body ___MASK22___ water separated from a larger body ___MASK22___ water by barrier islands or reefs . Lagoons are commonly divided into coastal lagoons and atoll lagoons . They have also been identified as occurring on mixed - sand and gravel coastlines . There is an overlap between bodies ___MASK22___ water classified as coastal lagoons and bodies ___MASK22___ water classified as estuaries .

The Antarctic Peter I Island and the sub - Antarctic Bouvet Island are dependent territories and thus not considered part ___MASK22___ the Kingdom . ___MASK80___ also lays claim to a section ___MASK22___ Antarctica known as Queen Maud Land . Until 1814 , the Kingdom included the Faroe Islands ( since 1035 ), Greenland ( 1261 ), and Iceland ( 1262 ). It also included Shetland and Orkney until 1468 . It also included the following provinces , now in Sweden : Jämtland , Härjedalen and Bohuslän . A comet is an icy small Solar System body that , when passing close to the Sun , warms and begins to evolve gasses , a process called outgassing . This produces a visible atmosphere or coma , and sometimes also a tail . These phenomena are due to the effects ___MASK22___ solar radiation and the solar wind acting upon the nucleus ___MASK22___ the comet . Comet nuclei range from a few hundred metres to tens ___MASK22___ kilometres across and are composed ___MASK22___ loose collections ___MASK22___ ice , dust , and small rocky particles . The coma may be up to 15 times the Earth ' s diameter , while the tail may stretch one astronomical unit . If sufficiently bright , a comet may be seen from the Earth without the aid ___MASK22___ a telescope and may subtend an arc ___MASK22___ 30 ° ( 60 Moons ) across the sky . Comets have been observed and recorded since ancient times by many cultures . ___MASK66___ (" Tingsryds kommun ") is a municipality in Småland , southern Sweden , in southeastern Kronoberg County , where the town Tingsryd is seat . A pond is a body ___MASK22___ standing water , either natural or artificial , that is usually smaller than a lake . They may arise naturally in floodplains as part ___MASK22___ a river system , or they may be somewhat isolated depressions ( examples include vernal pools and prairie potholes ). Usually they contain shallow water with marsh and aquatic plants and animals . A few animals also make their home in ponds , including both alligators and beavers . The type ___MASK22___ life in a pond is generally determined by a combination ___MASK22___ factors including water level regime ( particularly depth and duration ___MASK22___ flooding ) and nutrient levels , but other factors may also be important , including presence or absence ___MASK22___ shading by trees , presence or absence ___MASK22___ streams , effects ___MASK22___ grazing animals , and salinity .
