Studying Space Chapter 18
Astronomystudy of objects outside the atmosphere of planet Earth, and
of the processes by which these objects interact with one anotherobjects are so large and are located so far away that they look small
scientists study objects by the radiation they give
How would you explain the concept of a day, month, and a year to a small child?
MeasureDay = time take the Earth to rotate on its axis
23 hours 56 min.
Month = time required for the moon to revolve around the earth, how long it takes the moon to go through its phases
(29 1/2 days give or take 13 hours)
Year = time for the Earth to revolve around the sun 365.242199 days
Galactic year = time for the sun to revolve within theMilky Way Galaxy (1 galactic year = 250,000,000 Earth years)
Revise your explanation of a day, month, and year to a small child. Your group must include an illustration with a caption describing each illustration.
History in space
Early beliefsUniverse consisted of sun, moon, mars, earth, and venus. Stars were the edges of the universe.
Claudius PtolemyBelieved the earth was the center of the universe and
everything revolved around the earth.
Geocentric = earth centered
He was wrong but predicted the movements of the planets.
Nicolaus CopernicusBelieved the sun was the center of the universe and
the planets revolved around the sun.
Heliocentric = sun centered.
Tycho BraheBelieved in geocentric but that the sun
and moon revolved around the earth but the other planets revolved around the sun.
Johannes KeplerProved that the sun is not the exact
center of the universe and all the planets revolve around the sun.
Galileo Galilei1609 was one of the first people to use telescopeDiscovered
craters and mountains on the moon4 of Jupiter’s moonssunspots phases of Venus
Isaac NewtonProved all objects are attracted to each
other by gravitational forces.Helped explain discoveries from scientists before him.
AssignmentIn an assigned group, organize the notecard with the facts to the correct astronomer that each fact represents.

Zenithdirectly above you
Altitudethe angle between an object in the sky and the horizon
Horizonthe line where the sky and the Earth appear to meet
When we are find these objects in the sky we need tolook at the path they take.
