5
$200 Full moon Which phase appears as the moon completely lit overhead at midnight
6
$400 6 pm If the moon rose tonight at 5 pm, about what time will it rise tomorrow
7
$600 Full moon a lunar eclipse occurs only during a
8
$800 The Earth is also revolving around the Sun, so the Moon must catch up Why is there a difference between the sidereal and lunar months?
9
$1000 The phase will be full because it is rising opposite the sun. If the moon is directly opposite of the sun in the sky it will be a full moon If the moon rises at sunset, what phase will it be in? Why?
10
$200 23.5 degrees What is the tilt of the earth on its axis?
11
$400 year The time it takes for Earth to complete an orbit around the Sun is called.
12
$600 equinoxes The places where the Sun crosses the equator are called the
13
$800 Summer solstice The sun is high overhead at 23.5 degrees north.
14
$1000 Check your answer with me Draw the reasons for the seasons showing equinoxes and solstices
15
$200 constellations Groups of stars making an apparent pattern in the celestial sphere are called
16
$400 Brightest star In general, what is true of the alpha star in a constellation
17
$600 About 3000 About how many stars are visible on a clear, dark night with the naked eye alone?
18
$800 Taurus If the sun rises in the constellation of Taurus which constellation will it set in?
19
$1000 88 Into how many constellations is the celestial sphere divided by the IAU?
20
$200 New moon. A solar eclipse can only happen during a
21
$400 Total eclipse of the sun If you are in the Moon’s umbral shadow, then you will witness
22
$600 New moon on ecliptic at apogee What conditions are necessary for an annular solar eclipse?
23
$800 New moon on the ecliptic at perigee What conditions are necessary for a total solar eclipse?
24
$1000 Show your visual representation Draw a solar eclipse showing the penumbra and umbra of the moon’s shadow on earth
25
$200 North pole Where on Earth would you be if Polaris was at your zenith?
26
$400 What celestial line is a product of the Earth’s orbit around the Sun? ecliptic
27
$600 23 hours and 56 minutes You note that a particular star is directly overhead. It will be directly overhead again in
28
$800 0 hours to 23 hours What is the range of values for Right Ascension
29
$1000 If Seattle is at 47 degrees north latitude on earth where is Polaris in the sky 47 degrees
30
$200 Northstar Of all the visible objects in the sky, which appears to move the least?
31
$400 Shorter distance Is a star with a large parallax and great distance or short distance from earth
32
$600 Precession The fact that Polaris will not always be the North Star is due to what Earth motion?
33
$800 26,000 years How long is the precession cycle
34
$1000 He realized that the sun was directly overhead in one city and at a slight angle in another at the same time and therefore realized the Earth was curved. He realized the distance between the cities was a 7 degree difference or about 1/50 th of the earth’s total conference Explain how Eratosthenes measure the circumference of our planet
