To fill in the table with the correct labels based on the characteristics you provided, we can analyze the properties of the objects you mentioned.

Given the characteristics:

  1. 51,118: This number appears to be a size or diameter measure, often associated with an asteroid or a large celestial body. This could correspond to a planet if it's referring to a large object.

  2. 2,873,550 Gas: This is also likely indicating a characteristic of gas giants, which are large planets composed mostly of gas.

  3. Nearly circular: This could correspond to any of the three types mentioned (planet, comet, asteroid), but it's most commonly associated with planets and their orbits.

Based on these insights, you can label them as follows:

| Characteristics | Object | |-----------------------|-----------------| | 51,118 | Asteroid | | 2,873,550 (Gas) | Planet | | Nearly circular | Planet |

So you can move the labels as:

  • 51,118Asteroid
  • 2,873,550 GasPlanet
  • Nearly CircularPlanet

Keep in mind that "Gas" indicates it's likely a gas giant planet. If you have any specific additional details (like exact sizes or further descriptions), adjustments might be needed!
