moon phases
Illumination is increasing from right to left.
What is waxing?
the number of high tides per day.
What is 2?
the tilt angle of the earth.
What is 23. 5 degrees?
the longest and shortest days of the year (include when they occur).
What are the solstices (June and December)?
draw the approximate locations of the earth, moon and sun during a lunar eclipse.
What is Sun, Earth, Moon
this phase of the moon occurs seven days after the new moon.
What is a first quarter moon?
neap tide (include when it occurs and why)
What is when the difference in high and low tides are the least - it occurs when there is a quarter moon, because the sun and moon are each "pulling" in opposite directions.
The cause of seasons.
What is the tilt of the Earth as it revolves around the sun?
both of these increase until June and decrease until December
What are the sun's angle and day length.
the phase of the moon during a solar eclipse.
What is a new moon.
When the moon is between the sun and the earth.
What is a new moon.
draw a picture explaining spring tides.
What is when the moon and sun are each pulling in the same direction.
Differentiate between revolution and rotation. What is the effect of each on Earth?
What is the Earth orbiting the sun? (revolution) What is the Earth spinning on its axis? (rotation) Rotation causes day & night. Revolution is one year. (with the tilt of Earth's axis results in seasons)
When the north pole gets to the most amount of sun. (draw a picture as well)
What is in summer, when the northern hemisphere is pointed towards the sun.
draw the position of the Earth when it is spring in North America
What is perpendicular to winter
When the entire face of the moon is illuminated.
What is a full moon?
When spring tides occur.
What are during full and new moons?
If the southern hemisphere is pointing towards the sun.
What is winter in north america, summer in south america.
why the equator has little temperature change during the year.
What is they are always getting direct sunlight.
Draw a picture of a solar eclipse (earth sun moon alignment)
what is moon between the sun and the Earth
What is gibbous?
It has been seven days since the full moon, what tide is being experienced? Include the moon phase you would see.
What is neap tide and a third quarter moon?
when the day and night lengths are equal (what are they called and when do they occur).
What is the spring and fall equinox.
Draw the earth when it is summer in the northern hemisphere.
Sun central, earth and north pole axis pointed toward the sun.
Draw the position of the moon during a third quarter neap tide.
FENS= moon would be on bottom
SNEF= moon would be on top (looking for 3rd quarter moon)
