Days and nights
100
What is the order of seasons?
Winter, Spring, Summer, Fall
100
How are the tides affected?
moons gravity (Confused: With the Earth-Moon system, gravity is lie a rope that pulls or keeps the two bodies together, and centrifugal force is what keeps them apart. Because the centrifugal force is greater then the moons gravitational pull, ocean, water on the opposite side of the earth bulges outwards.)
100
What is the first phase?
New moon
100
What are eclipses?
When a object is blocking the light for another (Confused: When the new moon shadow hits earth or earths shadow hits the moon, an eclipse occurs it casts a shadow onto our planet that plunges areas into a darkness that feels like nighttime in mid-day.)
100
What is the word for when an objects movement around another?
revalation
200
What are the major ways the earth moves?
Rotation and Revalution (Confused: A rotation is when the planet around once every 24 hours. Revolution is when one object completes a circular path around another object.)
200
When do tides occur?
between two high tides confused: The gravitational attraction of the moon causes the ocean to bulge out in the direction of the moon. Another bulge occurs on the opposite side, since the earth is also being pulled toward the moon, and away from the water on the far side. Since the earth is rotating while this is happening two tides occur each day
200
What is a blue moon?
Two full moons in one month
200
Why do eclipses occur?
Rotation timing
200
Does the moon produce its own light?
No the moon reflects the suns rays from the mirror like rocks
300
What is the cause for earths seasons?
23.5 tilt of the axis (Confused: The earth has seasons because our planets axis of rotation is tilted at an angle of 23.5
300
How often do neap tides occur?
two and a half months (Confused: Neap tides occur during the first and third quarter moon when the moon papers "half full")
300
When the moon is half full what tide occurs
neap
300
When do lunar eclipses occur?
Full moon when the the earth is directly beneath the sun Confused: A eclipse of the moon or lunar eclipse can only occur at a full moon and only if the moon passes through the same potion of the earths shadow
300
What is rotation?
A circular movement of an object around a center (or a point) of rotation
400
In june which pole axis is facing the sun?
North (Confused: In the northern hemisphere of the earth the axis points most toward the sun in june.)
400
what happens when the sun and moon are alined with the earth
there are the largest and smallest tides confused ? with the earths and moons gravity pull it doubles and tugs a lot on the ocean
400
What is the last phase?
Full moon
400
what a solar eclipses
its when the earth blocks the sun from the moon
400
Why do people use the stone hedges?
To tell time
500
What solstice occurs when the north pole faces the sun?
December (Confused: When the sun reaches its most southerly declination of 23.5 degrees. In other words, when the north pole is tilted furthest away from the sun known as december solstice.)
500
What are neap tides?
A less than average tide occurring at the first and third quarter of the moon
500
What is the difference between waxing/ waning gidous?
Waxing gibbous is on the right and waning is on the left
500
Whats the difference between solar eclipse and lunar eclipse?
Lunar eclipse is the earth shadowing the moon solar eclipse is the moon shadowing the earth (Confused: A lunar eclipse occurs when the earth passes between the moon and sun, and the earth shadow obscure the moon or portion of it. A solar eclipse occurs when the moon passes between the earth and the sun, blocking all or a portion of the dun. An eclipse can be total. partial, or annular
500
Why is there day and night?
The rotation of the earth causes day and night (Confused: We have day and night because the earth rotates. It spins on its axis, witch is an imaginary line passing through the north and south poles. The earth spins slowly all the time. but we don't feel any movement because it turns smoothly and at the same speed.)
