what is at the center of planets and stars? a core – like at the center of a tootsie roll. How many licks to get there?

what are beautiful displays of light in space? Fireworks, or an aurora. Very cool colors.

what is an icey visitor to the solar system? An cold alien, or a comet.

what is a blemish on the surface of the sun? A zit (especially on a teenage son), or a sun spot.

what would float in a bathtub? a toy boat. Saturn needs a bathtub so big that once filled with water would quickly turn into a large planet in it’s own right that would swallow Saturn before you could say "Toy Boat three times fast".

what is also known as a minor planet? Pluto, or an asteroid. The Earth does not have a minor planet number as yet. Not sure why not, given the current definition. I’ve suggested zero.

what is another name for a planet’s moon? The Earth’s moon is called the Moon, meaning it has no other name. But some might refer to it as a satellite.
