I can explain the moon and its effect on the Earth.
Satellites Satellites are used to get information about Earth from above the Earth’s surface
Orbit Orbit = elliptical path around earth Elliptical =
Satellites Satellite = Object placed into orbit The only naturally occurring satellite around Earth is the moon. Earth is a satellite planet of one particular star, sun There are 13,000 satellites orbiting around earth!
Satellites 1.Navigation satellites (GPS) 1.Weather satellites 1.Earth observation Emmitter Receiver
Moon Orbits earth Extremely dry – no indigenous water No atmosphere Little surface gravity videos/moon-101-sci videos/moon-101-sci
Moon Phases Reflection from sun’s light rays Depends on the position around the earth and the reflection of the suns light Half the moon is always lit by the sun, as it orbits we see different parts of the lighted area. Moon rotates around the Earth in 29 days –
Moon Phases The same side of the moon faces the Earth because its period of rotation about its axis and its revolution around the Earth are about the same. Only ever seen 1 side of the moon
Moon Phases
Moon Phases: 1.New Moon 2.Waxing Crescent 3.First Quarter 4.Waxing Gibbous 5.Full Moon 6.Waning Gibbous 7.Third Quarter 8.Waning Crescent
Moon Phases Waxing – lighted portion of the moon increases – Waxing a car Waning – lighted portion of the moon decreases – lil wayne = little
Eclipse Earth, Sun and Moon line up – solar eclipse, we see the Sun blocked out Sun -> moon -> earth – lunar eclipse, we see a shadow on the Moon Sun -> earth -> moon

Lunar Eclipse

Tides The periodic rise and fall of the water level in the oceans and other large bodies of water Caused by the gravitational pull of the moon – Because liquids move more easily than solids.
Tides High tide – Water bulges towards the moon (opposite side too) Low tide *** 2 high tides and 2 low tides a day***
Tides Neap tide – Moderate tide heights sun, Earth, and moon form a 90 degree angle Spring tide – Extreme tide heights (low low tides and high high tides) Sun, Earth, and the moon are aligned
Tides
Rotation and Revolution Earth rotates around a 23.5 degree angle Axis Revolution is caused by the gravitational pull from the sun

Tides Simulation Students get into a circle and link arms water on earth 1 student acts as the moon As the moon moves around the earth, the water is pulled towards the moon causing low and high tides – Students bend towards the moon as the moon orbits the circle Simulating the waters movement
