Give the definition of revolution

Give the definition of rotate.

Is the moon a satellite or a planet?
a satellite
These are the four seasons that the Earth has.
Winter, Spring, Summer, and Fall
This season, are the days the longest, (when we have the most sunlight).
summer
These revolves around the sun.
the planets
This rotates on its axis.
the Earth
This is how long it takes the moon to go through a full cycle of phases.
one month or 27 days
The Earth spins on this imaginary line down the middle, which is why the Earth is tilted.
its axis
This moon phase is when you can see all of the moon.
a full moon
This revolves around the Earth.
the moon
This is the amount of time it takes the Earth rotate one time.
one day or 24 hours
If you only see half of the moon, it moon is in this phase - gibbous, full, or quarter.
quarter
These are the two reasons that Earth has seasons.
the tilt of the Earth and revolution around the sun
When this part of the Earth is tilted away from the sun, that part of the Earth has this season.
winter
When the Earth revolves around the sun, this causes what?
seasons
This why we only see one side of the moon.
the moon rotates and revolves at the same pace (27.3 days)
When we see two full moons in one month, this is called what.
a blue moon
This is a pulling force between two objects. We have it here on Earth and the moon has it, but it is much less.
gravity
This bulge of water if formed and moves as the Earth rotates. We have four of them each day.
tides
This is how long it takes the Earth to revolve around the sun.
one year or 365 1/4 days
The rotation of the Earth causes this.
day and night
This is why the moon goes through phases.
it revolves around the Earth and the sun's rays are blocked
The part of the Earth that is tilted toward the sun is having this season.
summer
This is what Earth's revolution and rotation have in common.
They are both ways that the Earth is moving, they both are measured in time periods (days or years), and they both are happening at the same time.
