A chunk of space rock that ENTERS the earths atmosphere and BURNS up
Meteor (think meteor shower)
The dark shadow that you must be in so that you experience a total solar eclipse
Umbra
What would happen if earth's tile was 30 degrees instead of 22.5
More tilt - Hotter summers, colder winters (more extreme seasons. Days would be either very long or very short depending on the time of year.
When the tilt of the earth makes the suns rays are at their most Northern and southern points
Winter and Summer Solstice
A chunk of ROCK AND METAL that orbits the sun similar to a planet (no tail)
Asteroid
Earth is between the moon and sun
LUNAR eclipse
What would happen if earth's tilt was 12 degrees instead of 22.5
Each season would be similar. Little change in temperature or length of day.
Yearly orbit of earth around the sun
Revolution
A chunk of ROCK AND ICE that comes from outer space, circles the sun, and heads back out
Comet
When the MOON travels BETWEEN the earth and sun, casting a shadow on earth

Comet Tail
This is the amount of time that the moon takes to go completely around earth.
28 days, or roughly 4 weeks.
What are some ways that the tide (caused by the moons gravitational pull) affect life on earth?
Animals use tides to feed. They also base migrations on the tides.
