eclipses
how does a solar eclipse form?
when the Moon passes between the Sun and Earth, casting a shadow on Earth that either fully or partially blocks the Sun's light in some areas.
how do tides form
caused by the gravitational forces exerted on the earth by the moon, and to a lesser extent, the sun
how does moon phases work
As the moon moves around Earth, the amount of illumination it receives from the sun changes, creating the lunar phases
how does space work
sound doesn't carry because there aren't molecules close enough together to transmit sound between them
how does seasons work
Earth's tilted axis causes the seasons
how doe a lunar eclipse form
Earth comes between the Sun and the Moon, blocking the sunlight falling on the Moon
what happens when a tide forms
Gravity pulls the ocean towards the moon and high tide occurs.bulges of water on the side closest to the Moon and the side farthest from the Moon.
what happens when moon phases form
Earth comes between the Sun and the Moon, blocking the sunlight falling on the Moon
what happens in space
gravity weakens and thus fluids are no longer pulled down, resulting in a state where fluids accumulate in the upper body
what happens when seasons form
The earth's spin axis is tilted with respect to its orbital plane
what is an eclipse
ometimes when the Moon orbits Earth, the Moon moves between the Sun and Earth. When this happens, the Moon blocks the light of the Sun from reaching Earth.
what do tides do
the daily rise and fall of the sea's edge.causes Earth—and its water—to bulge out on the side closest to the moon and the side farthest from the moon
what does a moon phases do
shows the illuminated portion of the moon that is being lit by the Sun
why is there a space
helps to address fundamental questions about our place in the Universe and the history of our solar system
why do we have seasons
The earth's spin axis is tilted with respect to its orbital plane.
what happens when a eclipses happens
casting a shadow on Earth that either fully or partially blocks the Sun's light in some areas
why do tides form
caused by the gravitational forces exerted on the earth by the moon, and to a lesser extent, the sun
how do moon phases help the solar system?
oderating our home planet's wobble on its axis, leading to a relatively stable climate.
how does space help the world
rotecting our planet and our environment -
how are seasons important
easons have an enormous influence on vegetation and plant growth
why do we have to cover our eyes during an eclipse
can cause “eclipse blindness” or retinal burns, also known as solar retinopathy
how are space tides similar to ocean tides
the result of the gravitational attraction of the sun and the moon on the earth
why do moon phases happen
because the Moon orbits Earth and Earth orbits the Sun
how many planets are in space
