moon and tides
Phases of the Moon for Neap Tides
What are 1st and last (3rd) quarter moons
the number of high tides per day.
2
the tilt angle of the earth.
What is 23.5 degrees
The shortest day of the year ?
the winter solstice ( December 21)
What 2 factors effect an objects gravitational pull?
Spring tides occur during these moon phases
What is a new and full moons?
Tides that occur during the quarter moons.
What is Neap tides?
Why causes seasons?
Earths tilt and Earth orbit or revolution
Draw 4 Seasons (1 Sun 4 Earth) model

Where would the moon go if the Earth disappeared?
Into space in a straight line
How many days pass between a new moon and full moon?
14
Tides that occur when the sun, earth, and moon are aligned in a row.
What are Spring tides?
2 differences between revolution and rotation.
What is one is a day, one is a year. Rotation, is the earth spinning on its axis. Revolution is the earth orbiting the sun. Rotation causes day and night. Revolution causes seasons.
the season when north pole gets to the most amount of sun. (draw a picture as well)
summer, when the northern hemisphere is pointed towards the sun.
Why does the moon orbit around the Earth?
The gravitational pull of Earth
During which tide will the water height be at its highest level?
Spring Tides
Draw a Neap tides model.
Must include first quarter and last quarter
Name the seasons if the southern hemisphere is pointing towards the sun.
winter in north america, summer in south america.
why does the equator have little temperature change during the year.
What is they are always getting direct sunlight.
Why would happen if a celestial objects mass increased?
the gravitational pull would increase also
Draw a Sun Earth Moon diagram representing spring tides
What causes the water levels to change in the first place?
Gravity
when the day and night lengths are equal (what are they called and when do they occur).
What is the spring and fall equinox.
What would happen if Earth rotation increased.
shorter day and night interval
Draw the gravity- inertia model you saw yesterday
gravity circle - inertia straight line
