Space-themed educational worksheet for arranging words alphabetically.

Let’s solve this step by step.

We need to put these 12 space-related words in alphabetical order — that means from A to Z, just like in a dictionary.

Here are the words again:

- planet
- satellite
- asteroids
- rocket
- moon
- galaxy
- astronaut
- meteor
- stars
- shuttle
- telescope
- tiger

Wait — “tiger” is not really a space term! But since it’s on the list, we’ll include it anyway. Maybe it’s a trick or a fun addition.

Now, let’s sort them alphabetically.

Step 1: Look at the first letter of each word.

Words starting with:
- a → asteroids, astronaut
- g → galaxy
- m → moon, meteor
- p → planet
- r → rocket
- s → satellite, stars, shuttle
- t → telescope, tiger

Step 2: Sort within each group.

Starting with “a”:
- asteroids (a-s-t)
- astronaut (a-s-t-r-o-n...) → “asteroids” comes before “astronaut” because after “ast”, “e” comes before “r”

So:
1. asteroids
2. astronaut

Next, “g”:
3. galaxy

Next, “m”:
- meteor (m-e)
- moon (m-o) → “e” comes before “o”, so meteor first
4. meteor
5. moon

Next, “p”:
6. planet

Next, “r”:
7. rocket

Next, “s”:
We have: satellite, stars, shuttle

Compare second letters:
- satellite → a
- stars → t
- shuttle → h

Alphabetical order for second letters: a, h, t

So:
satellite (sa)
shuttle (sh)
stars (st)

Thus:
8. satellite
9. shuttle
10. stars

Next, “t”:
telescope, tiger

Second letters:
- telescope → e
- tiger → i

“e” comes before “i”, so:
11. telescope
12. tiger

Let’s double-check the full list:

1. asteroids
2. astronaut
3. galaxy
4. meteor
5. moon
6. planet
7. rocket
8. satellite
9. shuttle
10. stars
11. telescope
12. tiger

Yes — all in correct alphabetical order.

Final Answer:
1. asteroids
2. astronaut
3. galaxy
4. meteor
5. moon
6. planet
7. rocket
8. satellite
9. shuttle
10. stars
11. telescope
12. tiger
