Hint: Google images is very useful in finding the pictures you need. 2) “Insert” the puzzle into slide 2. Resize it so it is an exact fit and then right click and use the ORDER command to send the puzzle to the back. 3) To remove a puzzle just move any square out of the way. Move the cursor over the underlying puzzle and ‘cut’ the puzzle. 4) Add the questions and answers. Leave sound bites as they are, delete them (action settings) or insert your own. 5) Add the answer to the last slide. This game is free for any non-commercial use.

Explain why you see different constellations (stars) in the winter Ques. #29 Explain why you see different constellations (stars) in the winter than you do in the summer. The earth moves 186 million miles (around the sun) from it’s summer to it’s winter position so that we are looking at very different parts of the sky. Back Ans.

Why does the apparent diameter of the sun (as seen from earth) Ques. #30 Why does the apparent diameter of the sun (as seen from earth) change throughout the year? The earth’s orbit is an ellipse.
