Sun, Earth, Moon system The Moon rotates around us (in about 27 days), but we rotate around the sun (in about 365 days)! RAS Young Astronomers Resources

3 Scale of the Earth, Moon, and Sun
This is how big the sun is compared to earth (the big blue dot) and the moon (the tiny grey dot) RAS Young Astronomers Resources @hyperphysics

Phases of the moon this video shows how to demonstrate the phases of the moon using a lamp, a foam ball, a pencil and a darkened room. RAS Young Astronomers Resources

Tides Brian Cox explains the tides – the gravitational pull of the moon pulls the water on the surface of the Earth towards it. The spinning of the Earth causes a (centrifugal) force just like when you spin around really fast around a round-about causing a bulge on the other side of the earth aswell! That’s why we have two tides per day. RAS Young Astronomers Resources

7 Why do we have four seasons?
