Planets $100
What are the nicknames for the inner vs. outer planets?
Planets $100
Inner Planets: Rocky Planets
Outer Planets: Gas Giants
Planets $200
What are the inner planets in order from the sun?
Planets $200
Mercury, Venus, Earth, and Mars
Planets $300
What are the outer planets in order from the sun?
Planets $300
Jupiter, Saturn, Uranus, and
Neptune
Planets $400
What are 2 ways could we draw the solar system? Tell
some pros and cons of each.
Planets $400
Orbital and Linear;Orbital shows that the sun is in
the center of our solar system and linear does not; Linear is
easier to draw; Orbital shows the revolving/ path of the planets
Planets for $500
1. Why don't all planets have 24 hours in a day?
2. 365 hours in a year??
Planets for $5001. Different DAYS: each planet rotates on it’s
axis at different speeds so some planets have shorter or longer days than Earth.
2. Different YEARS: A planet’s distance from the sun determines a planet’s year. The closer a planet is from the sun – shorter their year; farther away a planet is from
the sun – longer year year.
The Sun for $100
What is the star at the center of our
solar system called?
The Sun for $100
The sun
The Sun for $200
What force keeps the planets in
orbit around the sun?
The Sun for $200
Gravity
The Sun for $300
What do the sun, Earth, and moon have in common?
The Sun for $300
They are all spheres, have gravity (but of course different amounts of gravity), all have
atmospheres (Earth’s atmosphere is the only one to
support life though)…
The Sun for $400
What are sunspots?
The Sun for $400
These are the dark areas that are cooler than the rest of the
sun’s surface.
The Sun for $500
Could we live without the sun in our solar system?
What would happen?
The Sun for $500
NO! The sun provides energy for us, we need the sun to make food, keep us warm, keep the planets in orbit…What would happen? We’d die of
thirst/starvation, freeze, Earth would be floating around in space…
a disaster!
The Moon for $100
Dude, I just totally wiped out on that
gnarly wave. BTW - what causes tides?
The Moon for $100
Ooooh ya…Dude, it’s due to the
moon and sun’s gravitational pull.
Whew.
The Moon for $200
Why would the same object weigh more on the Earth
than on the moon?
The Moon for $200
The moon has less gravity/gravitatio
nal pull than Earth.
The Moon for$300
What phase is the moon in when it travels between
the sun and Earth?
The Moon for $300
new moon
The Moon for $400
1. How long does it take the moon to orbit around
Earth?2. Name things the moon
orbiting helps with.
The Moon for $400
1. About 29.5 days/1 month2. Lunar eclipse, solar
eclipse, phases of the moon, daily low tides, daily high tides (Surfs
up, Dude!)
The Moon for $500
Why does the moon “glow” at
night?
The Moon for $500
The moon “glows” due to the reflection of the sun’s
light!
R vs. R for $100
What is it called when the moon
goes around Earth and how long
does this take?
R vs. R for $100
Revolve29.5 days/about 1
month
R vs. R for $200
What does Earth do in 24
hours/daily?
R vs. R for $200
Rotate on its axis
**Full day occurrs when Earth does one complete rotation**
R vs. R for $300
What does the earth do in 1
year/365 days?
R vs. R for $300Revolve around the sun
*Every birthday means you lived another revolution!
R vs. R for $400
What does the moon do in about 29.5
days/1 month? This is also the reason for the moon’s phases!
R vs. R for $500
How can 1 person be seeing a sunset while
another person is seeing a sunrise at
the same moment on Earth?
R vs. R for $500
Earth’s Rotation on it’s axis allows 1 person to
see a sunset while another person is seeing
a sunrise.
Misc. for $100
If a high tide starts at 2:30 p.m., when will
the next low tide occur? Next high tide?
Misc. for $100Low tide: 8:30 p.m.
High tide: 2:30 a.m.
(about 6 hours pass between low to high tide; about 12 hours pass between low to
low tide usually)
Misc. for $200
Describe the position of the new moon in
space in relation to the sun, Earth, and
moon. Describe where a full moon would be.
Misc. for $200New Moon: the sun is behind the moon;
between the Earth and the sun
Full Moon: when you can see the entire side of the moon; when the Earth is
between the sun and the moon
Misc. for $3001. Which object in space
will you have the least amount of gravity on: Sun, Earth, or Moon2. Most amount of
gravity?
Misc. for $300
1. Moon! The moon’s mass/gravitational pull is
1/6 of Earth’s.2. Most: SUN because it has
the most mass/gravitational pull
Misc. for $400
What times of day do you see the
biggest shadows? Smallest shadows?
Misc. for $400
Biggest shadows: early morning (sun rising from the East) and late afternoon (sun
setting in the West)Smallest shadows: around noon (sun is
above you/middle of the sky)
Misc. for $500Which drawing below would best
represent the flagpole’s shadow at 5:00 p.m.? Why?
A C
B D
Misc. for $500
D5:00p.m.
**Because the sun sets in the West & the shadow will be longer the closer it gets to sunset**
Grab Bag for $100 Your shadow changing
throughout the day depends on:
A. Earth’s rotationB. Moon’s orbit
C. Sun’s sky positionD.The way you’re facing the sun
Grab Bag for $100
C. Sun’s sky position
Grab Bag for $200
What is the path that a planet or moon takes as it moves around another object called?
Grab Bag for $200
A revolution (or orbit)
Grab Bag for $300
1. Are we in the Northern or Southern hemisphere?
2. What do the Northern & Southern hemispheres look like on a map?
3. What does that mean in regards to seasons?
Grab Bag for $3001. We are in the Northern Hemisphere.2. Northern Hemisphere is in the “top”
half of Earth; Southern Hemisphere is in the “bottom” half of Earth
3. Places in the Northern hemisphere are in the same season cycle while places in the Southern hemisphere have opposite season cycles as us.
Grab Bag for $400
1. What causes seasons2. What position would
the Northern hemisphere need to be
during the winter? Summer?
Grab Bag for $4001. The tilting of Earth causes season
change.2. Winter: Northern hemisphere tilts
away from sun (less direct sunlight)Summer: Northern hemisphere tilts
towards the sun (more direct sunlight)
Grab Bag for $500
Name all 8 phases of our moon and
describe how each one looks in 10 seconds or less.
It’s a trick question. Go to the next slide.
Grab Bag for $500
Now go to game entitled “Moon Phases – Be the Expert” and play. Good
luck!
