How it's used
Primarily used in scientific or academic contexts, this term is the formal way to refer to any object in space. It is rarely used in casual daily conversation unless discussing astronomy or science fiction. When speaking informally about stars or planets, people usually just refer to them by their specific names or use the general term 星.
