When one celestial body cast a shadow on another in space
100
What is a season and what cause them
The four natural divisions of the year based on changes in temperature due to the varied amounts of sunlight (both intensity and number of daylight hours received); caused by the tilt of Earth during revolution.

Lunar - When earth cast a shadow on the moon
Solar - When the moon cast a shadow on the sun

Earth would still have seasons even without being tilted because sometimes we are close to the sun and sometimes we are farther away.
True or False
False - the tilt of the earth and the amount of sunlight we receive changes the seasons not how close or far we are .

What kind of tide will be produced on earth based on this Image
Bonus: Explain why this type of tide is created and its definition.
Neap tide
Bonus: Created because the earth is pulled by the sun and moon in different directions at a 90 degree angle. Creates a lower tidal range for high and low tide.

How many neap tides and spring tides. do we have on earth each month
Bonus: How often do we change from Spring to Neap tide
2 of each
They change every 7 days
400
Why don't we have solar and lunar eclipse each month.
Because the earth moon and sun have to line up perfectly for and eclipse to happen. The earth and the moon don't have orbits of perfect circles they are tilted
400
Explain what a solstice and equinox is.
Solstice - Is when the sun is at its highest or lowest point in the sky creating the longest and shortest days of the year.
Equinox - Either of the two times during the year when the sun crosses the equator and day and night are of equal length
400
If the northern Hemisphere is experiencing Spring (Vernal Equinox) why would the Southern Hemisphere be experience Fall (Autumn Equinox)
When one hemisphere is tilting towards the sun the other hemisphere is tilted away.

Describe two things that could happen when the moon is aligned in this phase
Lunar Eclipse
Spring Tide

The daily tides around earth change every 6 hours 12 mins and 30 seconds. We have 4 tidal changes each day. If Savannah Georgia had its first high tide of the day at 12pm when would the first high tide come in the next day.
The first high tide would come in at 12:50 pm the next day
The tide moves forward 50 mins each day because of the 4 tidal changes and the time it take for them to change.
500
Below is a picture of a partial and total lunar eclipse
Why is one partial and why is one a total eclipse 
The partial is created the moon is in the penumbra of the earths shadow
The total is created because the moon is in the umbra of the earths shadow.

Jase explains that he asked for a bike and a water gun & Gustavo ask why would he want to ride his bike with a water gun while its cold outside. Explain why this makes sense for Jase to ask for such gifts.
They live in different hemispheres (they are having two different seasons) so while Gustavo is experiencing winter Jase is in the middle of summer
