# Creating Game Objects

**Game objects** are the objects in the actual game and they appear in the [Hierarchy](/unity-basics/the-unity-interface/the-tabs/hierarchy-tab.md). They are comprised of a series of [components](/unity-basics/create/create-scripts.md) that determine how the objects appear, move, and react to physics within the scene.

Some examples of game objects include [3D primitives](/unity-basics/create/create-game-objects/3d-primitives.md), cameras, lights, and particle systems.

Each game object has a Transform component that controls its [position, rotation, and size](/unity-basics/translate-rotate-and-scale/intro-to-transforms.md).
