• Eclipses

• Tides

• The Sun

• The moon

• Solar system

• Life Cycle of Stars

• Seasons

Rotation = one day Revolution = one year

23.5 degree tilt as we revolve around

the sun

Waxing crescent = occurs week 1, sun reflecting on less than half of the right

side

Waning crescent = occurs week 4, sun reflecting on less than half of the left side

About one month (moonth!)

Sun - Moon - Earth **will only occur if they are aligned in a perfectly

straight line

Will only occur during the new moon phase.

There are two low tides each day.

Neap tide occurs during 1st Qtr or 3rd Qtr phases. Least diff. between low/high

tide. Spring tide occurs during new or full moon phases. Greatest diff. between

low/high tide

Sun centered. Copernicus, Galileo, Brahe, Kepler

Earth centered. Ptolomy only.

The Milky Way galaxy. Spiral shaped.

10 - 15 billion years ago. 4.6 billion years ago.

The Universe is the largest (made up of many galaxies, solar systems, planets,

stars)

Gas and dust

Hottest temperature = Blue

Coolest temperature = Red

Follow the edge of the dipper until you find the North star (Polaris). Use

that information/location to help you like you would use a compass.

Sun - Mercury - Venus - Earth - Mars - Jupiter - Saturn - Uranus - Neptune

Venus' environment is toxic - mostly carbon dioxide - causing runway

greenhouse effect. Thick atmosphere traps the heat. It is twice as hot as

Mercury, even though it is farther away from the sun than Mercury!

Venus' temperature = 900 degrees F

It is found between Mars and Jupiter.

Meteor = Rock from space that enters our atmosphere and makes a light as it

burns up.

Meteorite = Meteor that touches/lands on our planet.
