Rotation
What is the vocabulary word for spinning of the Earth on its axis?
What is rotation?
How would you define the revolution?
What is the Earth orbits around the Sun?
What is the angle of the tilt of the Earth?
What is 23.5 degrees?
The Sun moves from the _____________ to the ______________ in the sky.
What is the Sun moves from the East to the West in the sky?
What is the imaginary line that goes from North to South that the Earth spins on?
What is the axis of the Earth?
How long does it take for the Earth to spin on its axis once?
What is 24 hours and exact 23 hours and 56 minutes?
How long does one revolution take around the Sun for the Earth?
What is 365 1/4 days to revolve?
What is the word for these two seasons of spring and fall having the same amount of hours of daylight?
What season is when the Sun is high in the sky? What type of light does this season get?
What is the season of summer and the season receives direct light?
What is the difference between indirect and direct light?
What is direct light is when the light is focused on one spot and concentrated with hotter temperatures? What is indirect light is when the light is spread out resulting in cooler temperatures?
Due to us spinning on our axis, what happens to Earth? The people on Earth experience what?
What is the people on the Earth experience day and night? 12 hours of day and 12 hours of night roughly but it depends on the tilt which can change these hours.
The seasons of spring and fall receive how many hours of daylight roughly?
What is spring and fall receive 12 hours of daylight?
What is the word for the seasons of winter and summer having different amounts of daylight, sometimes 9 hours or 15 hours, due to the Sun being higher or lower?
What is the word known as solstices?
What is the season that has the Sun low in the sky?What type of light does the season receive?
How is the Northern Hemisphere in relation to the Sun during summer with the tilt? How is the Northern Hemisphere in relation to the Sun during winter?
What is in winter, the Northern Hemisphere is pointed away from the Sun and what is in summer, the Northern Hemisphere is pointed towards the Sun?
By us spinning, what results to the Sun, moon, and stars? What does it look like from Earth?
What is from Earth, it looks like the Sun, moon, stars are moving across the sky during the course of the day?
Due to the 1/4 of a day being included as the exact amount to revolve, every four years, what do we get as a result on our calendar? What is this day called? Do you know the date?
Provide me with a season where the Sun is shining directly at the equator and indirectly as you move further and further from the equator.
What is spring? What is fall?
What season receives the longest shadows? Why?
What is the season of Winter because the sun is low in the sky and shining indirect light.
Which season does the Sun rise earlier and set later meaning it receives the most daylight hours?
What is the season of summer? Summer sometimes receives 15 hours of daylight.
Give me two examples that prove that the Earth is rotating (spinning below us). If you don't give two, you miss this question.
What is the Northern Star stays in one spot while the other constellations move around the center star? What is we have satellites watching us with videos to prove it? What is we have sent a rocket to space in mission to obtain videos? What is the instrument of a pendulum that swings back and forth to knock down pins or nails throughout the course of the day?
What two things does tilt affect?
What is the seasons and the amount of daylight at the location you are at?
What two things cause our seasons?
What is revolving around the Sun and the tilt of the Earth 23.5 degrees?
What two seasons have shadows that are not too long and that are not too short? Why?
What is the seasons of spring and fall because summer has the shortest shadows and winter has the longest shadows. These seasons have medium shadows because the sun is midway in the sky with indirect light.
What on the Earth determines how much light the people will receive?
What is the location as far as latitude that lets you know this. The further the latitude from the equator the less direct light and therefore they will experience more colder temperatures. Alaska, the northernmost city for North America, experiences a lot of winter temperatures because its latitude is so far from equator and closer to the poles.
