Milky Way Galaxy and the Solar System in Spanish
When you were a child, one of the “most” common topics is speaking about the planets. You can study about the list of the nine planets here Names of all the planets in Spanish with example sentences. Is that all that you need to know? What about describing something as simple as a comet or the entire universe? Of course you need to know the vocabulary necessary to describe the moon and the stars in Spanish, comets and asteroids in Spanish, Universe in Spanish etc. You also need to know about the Milky Way Galaxy and the Solar System in Spanish
A simple example for its importance: You’re lying down in the grass with your partner and you and you want to romantically describe “THE GORGEOUS MILKY WAY AND THE DEPTHS OF SPACE”. And your partner turns out to be a gorgeous (or handsome) Spanish dude / dudette. You know it’s a sure homerun if you speak romantically about the infinite depths of Space in Spanish. You need to explain the beauty in Spanish. How do you do that? Simple… know the words for the universe in Spanish and then string them together with some grammar.

- How to say Solar System and Milky Way Galaxy in Spanish?
- Space objects such as asteroids, comets and meteors in Spanish?
