We are learning to: describe how objects in the solar system are in regular and predictable motions that explain days, years, and seasons. We are looking for: description of: Days- Earth rotates on its axis every 24 hours Years-Earth revolves around the sun days Seasons-Earth revolves around the sun as the Earth is tilted on its axis
Why do we have night and day? A.Earth’s rotation B.Earth’s revolution C.Tilt of the Earth on its axis D.I need Help!
What causes Earth to experience different seasons? A.It rotates on its axis while it revolves around the sun B.It revolves on its axis while it rotates around the sun C.It is tilted while it rotates around the sun. D.It is tilted while it revolves around the sun. E.I need help!
If the Earth’s Revolution was slower, we would experience A.Longer days B.Shorter days C.Longer years D.Shorter years E.I need help!
Of the following, which does not affect seasons? A.Earth is tilted 23.5 degrees B.The Earth revolves around the sun C.The Earth’s distance from the sun D.I need help!
We are learning to: describe how objects in the solar system are in regular and predictable motions that explain phases (moon cycles), eclipses, tides We are looking for: a description of -Phases-moon revolves around the Earth approximately once a month -Eclipse-are random predictable; one object moves in front of another object in relation to the position of the sun -Tides-high tide occurs approximately twice a day due to the gravitational pull of the moon
Which phase occurs when the moon is in between the Earth and the sun? A.Full moon B.New moon C.1 st Quarter moon D.3 rd quarter moon
What causes us to see different phases of the moon? A.Light refracts off of the surface of the moon. B.The moon rotates around the Earth. C.We see different perspectives of the moon. D.I need help!
What is the main cause of tides? A.The gravitational pull of the moon B.The gravitational pull of the sun C.The gravitational pull of the Earth D.I need help!
If the sun, moon, and Earth are perfectly aligned (as pictured), what event will occur on Earth? A.Neap Tide B.Solar Eclipse C.Lunar Eclipse D.Seasonal Change
When studying a solar eclipse, which would be a proper method of viewing the sun? A.Wear sunglasses B.Use a telescope C.Use a magnifying glass D.Use filters that are specifically designed to view eclipses E.I need help!
We are learning to: explain that gravitational force determines motions in the solar system and keeps the planets in orbit around the sun. We are looking for: explanation that *All objects in the solar system have gravity. *Sun has the greatest mass, thus has the greatest gravitational pull within our solar system. *Since planets have inertia, they do not get pulled into the sun. *Gravity keeps the planets in orbit.
What is an object’s resistance to a change in motion? A.Gravity B.Inertia C.Mass D.Friction E.I need help!
Predict what would happen if Earth stopped its forward motion around the sun? A.It will fly off into space. B.It will hit the nearest planet. C.It will get pulled into the sun. D.It will continue to revolve.
What keeps planets revolving around the sun? A.The sun’s gravitational pull. B.The planet’s mass. C.The planet’s magnetic field. D.The Sun’s inertia. E.I need help!
