23. Solar Eclipse or Lunar Eclipse?

24. Solar Eclipse 200

25. Why do the constellations appear to move across the sky? Double Score!

26. The earth movement makes it seem like the constellations are moving, but they are not. The earth rotates on its axis and revolves around the sun. 400

28. East to West for both 400

29. How are the Moon and Earth alike, besides being spherical?

30. They are both natural satellites. 200

31. The Earth is a sphere, but why does it look flat? Double Score!

32. The Earth is round like a ball, but it looks flat because we see only a small part of the ball. 200

33. What would happen if Earth rotated more quickly? Double Score!

34. The length of the day would become shorter if the Earth rotated more quickly. 200

35. Explain why the Sun appears to move across the sky every day.

38. Summer 400

39. If a person is standing on the Moon holding a rock and then lets go of it, what will happen to the rock and why? Double Score!

40. It will fall to the ground because the Moon has gravity. It would fall slower to the ground than it would on Earth because there is less gravity on the Moon. It would still fall though. 300

41. What best describes the motion of the Moon around the Earth and what best describes its path as it travels around the Earth?

42. REVOLUTION describes the motion and ORBIT describes the path. 300

43. What causes day and night? Double Score!

44. Earth’s rotation on its axis 300

45. Why does it look like the Sun is moving down in the sky at sunset?

46. The Earth is spinning on its axis. 300

47. Why does the Moon seem to change its shape over time? Double Score!
