Moon
Angle of moon relative to the Sun and the earth occurs after new moon that shows moon illuminated as half light and half dark.
What is first quarter moon?
Layers of the Moon from internal to lunar surface.
What are the core, asthenosphere mantle, lithosphere mantle, and crust?
What is daylight savings time?
Short term changes in troposphere in a given place and time.
What is weather?
Atmospheric level where weather occurs.
What is the troposphere?
Rotation of the moon is the same rate as moon's revolution around the earth.
What is synchronous rotation?
Depression in the lunar surface due to an object forcibly contacting the surface.
What are impact craters?
Cause of Earth's rotation on its axis.
What is gravity?
What is nebular hypothesis of formation of solar system and conservation of angular momentum?
Averaged changes in tropospheric conditions over extended period of time in a specific geographic area.
What is climate?
Atmospheric layer where meteors burn up due to meeting thin layer of air causing increased heat and friction to the meteor.
What is the mesosphere?
Phases of the Moon are caused by a shadow from the Earth, clouds, or the Earth's or Moon's rotation.
What is a misconception about the Moon?
Any flat, dark plain of lower elevation on the Moon.
What are maria?
Period of 365 days.
What is one revolution of Earth around the Sun.
Climate occuring at Earth's equator and is warm year round and may be very wet or wet and dry.
What are tropical moist climates?
Climate that occurs inland, too far from large bodies of water to have an effect, with warm to hot summers and cold winters, moderate precipitation which falls year round.
What is Humid Continental Climate?
Theory of formation of the moon resulting from a large object hitting the earth and ejected material accreted due to gravity thereafter.
What is the Giant Impact theory of moon's formation?
When a meteoroid survives a trip through the atmosphere and hits the ground.
What are meteorites?
Cause of seasons on the earth.
What is the tilt of the Earth's axis at a 23.5 degree angle?
When sunlight heats Earth’s surface, and some heat radiates back into the atmosphere and is absorbed by gases in the atmosphere which helps to warm the Earth.
What is the Greenhouse Effect in the atmosphere?
Movement of air from an area in the troposphere layer of high pressure to an area of low pressure.
What is wind?
Spacecraft that makes high-resolution maps of the composition of the lunar surface and seeks out potential sources of water-ice that may exist in the bottom of dark polar craters.
What is Lunar Reconnaissance Orbiter (LRO) from NASA?
Impact crater on earth located in Arizona.
What is Meteor crater?
78% Nitrogen, 21% Oxygen, 0.04% Carbon dioxide, water vapor and less 1% other gases Argon, Helium, Hydrogen
What is composition of Earth's atmosphere?
Climates found near the North and South Poles and may occur on high mountains at lower latitudes with cool summers and very cold winters with low precipitation due to coldness.
What are polar climates?
Atmospheric composition of elements, molecules, their percentages.
What are 78% Nitrogen, 21% Oxygen, 0.04% carbon dioxide, and water vapor and other trace amounts of gases?
