The Moon
The moon orbits around this.
The Earth
The time it takes for the Earth to travel around the sun.
Stars appear brighter when they are this to Earth
Closer
The Earth pulls objects this direction
Downward to the center
The process where plants take in Carbon Dioxide (Co2) from the air and use it to produce food.
Phtosynthesis
New, Crescent, Quarter, Gibbous and Full are all examples of this.
Moon phases
1 spin on Earth's axis equals this amount.
1 day or 24 hours
A unit used to measure how close or far away a star is.
Light years
Objects with a larger mass have a greater this
gravitational pull
In order to collect quality data you will want to use a larger or smaller group to see better results.
Larger
Moon phases occur because of this.
As the Moon orbits the Earth, the Sun lights up different parts of it, making it seem as if the Moon is changing shape.
Because of Earth's rotation on its Axis we can observe this pattern
Day and night
The amount of time it takes the Earth to travel around the sun
1 year
A ball resting on a table shows this
how gravity affects an object
The sun appears to rise and set daily due to this
Earth's rotation
The lunar cycle takes about this much time to complete
1 month
Because of Earth's tilt on the axis depending on where the Earth is compared to the sun we can experience different these.
Seasons
We can see different stars in the sky at different times of the year because the Earth rotates around this.
The sun
When you drop a book this is the direction it will be forced
downward
Describe how the tilt on the axis affects patterns we see on Earth. 2 part answer
Rotation- because Earth rotates on an axis it appears that the sun moves across the sky. This is why we experience a day and night pattern on Earth.
Revolution- is how Earth orbits the sun and its tilt points the axis toward or away from the sun. If it points toward the sun then it’s summer. If away from the sun it’s winter. The revolution on an axis causes different seasons.
