Name these lines
Latitude
100
This is the line at zero degrees longitude that runs through Greenwich, England.
Prime Meridian
100
This is a spinning movement like a top or a dreidel
Rotation
100
As the Earth rotates, the part that faces the sun causes _______ and the part that faces away from the sun causes _________
daytime
nighttime
100
What are the two reasons for the seasons?
1. Earth's revolution as it revolves around the sun.
2. The Earth's tilt on its axis which causes different angles of insolation.
200
Name these lines
Longitude
200
This is the line of longitude that is at 180 degrees, on the opposite side of the Earth from the Prime Meridian.
International Date Line
200
One full rotation of the earth is equal to what amount of time?
24 hours or one day
200
The Earth has this many time zones
24
200
When light from the sun hits the Earth at a higher angle of insolation, the temperature becomes...
Hot

What is the dark line in this picture called, at 0 degrees latitude?
Equator
300
The lines of latitude that have degrees marked with an N are in which hemisphere?
Northern Hemisphere
300
True or False: Every planet takes the same amount of time to make one full rotation and therefore a day on every planet is the same.
False!
Different planets take different amounts of time to make a full rotation and therefore some planets have shorter days and some have longer.

This is where time zones start, the first place on Earth to start a new day.

The lines of latitude that have degrees marked with an S are in which hemisphere?
Southern Hemisphere
400
This is the movement of one object around another.
Revolution
400
What word stands for Incoming Solar Radiation
Insolation
400
True or false: Due to the tilt of the Earth's axis, the Northern and Southern Hemisphere have seasons at opposite times of the year
True. When it is summer in the Northern hemisphere, it is winter in the Southern hemisphere, and visa versa.

Western Hemisphere
500
The time it takes the Earth to revolve around the sun
1 year or 365 (and 1/4) days
500
Due to the tilt of the Earth's axis, the sun appears in a _________ each day.

500
The higher above the horizon the sun is, the (shorter or longer) the shadow is.

Lines of longitude to the right of the Prime Meridian are in which hemisphere?
Eastern Hemisphere
600
Because each revolution around the sun by the Earth takes 365 and 1/4 year, every four years this occurs
Leap year, there is an extra day in February
