Draw a diagram of Spring Tide with appropriate moon phases

Draw a diagram of Neap Tide with appropriate moon phases

What is the difference between Spring and Neap Tide Spring Tide: highest high tides and lowest low tides –greatest difference between high and low tide Neap Tide: Lowest high tide and highest low tide –smallest difference between high and low tide

Explain high and low tide. High Tide: Where the water levels rises twice a day Low Tide: Where the water level falls twice a day

How do astronomers determine the elements a star of made of? By using the electromagnetic spectrum to see what elements are in the stars light by looking at the spectral lines Video:

Label the EMS Short wavelengths Highest frequency Long Wavelengths Lowest Frequency Gamma Visible Light Radio

How do astronomers measure distance in the universe? By using light years

What is a light year? Light year: the distance light travels in one year 300,000 kilometers per second

What is the Big Bang Theory and what evidence supports it?
