Whats the space
What is the scientific study of the universe?
ASTRONOMY!
When Plants or animals use the sun to survive or absorbing the sun's nutrients.
(Hints) Converts Water and Carbon Dioxide into oxygen.
Photosynthesis
What is the direct transfer of heat from one object to another.
Conduction
Solar Wind
A stream of electrically charged particles produced by the sun's corona; deflected by Earth's magnetic field

What is revolution
the motion of a body, such as a planet or moon, along a path around some point in space. It takes 365.25 days for the Earth to complete a full revolution around the sun.
What process causes water that is being heated to rise while cooler water sinks
Convection
equinox

What is A slow motion of Earth's axis that traces out a cone over a period of 26,000 years
precession
barycenter
The center of mass of two or more bodies orbiting around each other
What is The Transfer of energy by electromagnetic waves?
Radiation!
2) the point in a planet's orbit in which it is closest to the sun. Also when the planet travels fastest.
1) the point in a planet's orbit in which it is furthest from the sun. Also when the planet travels slowest.
2) perihelion

What is Nutation
The wobbling of Earth's axis, changing the Earth's tilt by 0.5 degrees every 18 years.
the process of burning something
Combustion
what is shortwave radiation emitted by the sun
UV radiation
incoming solar radiation

2 Questions
Question 1) nuclear fission
Question 2) nuclear fusion
1) The process by which a large nucleus is split into smaller nuclei; this process powers nuclear power plants and bombs.
2) the process by which smaller nuclei merge together into a single larger nucleus; this process powers the sun
What is the electromagnetic spectrum
the complete range of electromagnetic waves placed in order of increasing frequency
1) What is spring tide
And
2) What is neap tide
1) a tide just after a new or full moon, when there is the greatest difference between high and low water.
2) a tide just after a first or third quarter moon, when there is the least difference between high and low water.
Jovian Planets
planets made primarily out of gas, also known as "gas giants." Includes Jupiter, Saturn, Uranus, and Neptune.
