Sec1 Sci P7b Info Summary Sheet Earth and beyondWe live on a planet called the Earth. The Earth gets heat and light from the Sun. The Earth spins on its axis once every 24 hours. The side of the Earth facing the Sun has daylight, and it is night on the side facing away from the Sun.

The Earth orbits around the Sun. It takes one year to go around once. A year is actually 365.25 days long, so every four years we have a leap year, when an extra day is added.

The Moon is a satellite of the Earth. It orbits the Earth once every 28 days. This is called a lunar month.

We can see the Moon because it reflects light from the Sun. The Moon seems to change shape during the month. The different shapes are called phases of the Moon. The phases happen because we cannot always see all of the part that is lit by the Sun.

Sometimes the Moon blocks the light from the Sun. When this happens we get a solar eclipse. If the Moon goes into the shadow of the Earth we get a lunar eclipse.

A solar eclipse. A lunar eclipse.

The Earth’s axis is tilted. When the northern hemisphere is tilted towards the Sun it is summer in the UK. Days are longer than nights, and the Sun is higher in the sky. The Sun’s rays are more concentrated, so it feels hotter.

There are nine planets orbiting the Sun, and lots of asteroids. Most of the planets have moons orbiting around them. The Sun, the planets and their moons, and the asteroids make up the Solar System.

The nine planets are Mercury, Venus, Earth, Mars, Jupiter, Saturn, Uranus, Neptune and Pluto. You can remember the order of the planets using this sentence ‘My Very Easy Method Just Sums Up Nine Planets’.

Planets do not make their own light. We can sometimes see the planets because they reflect light from the Sun.

The Sun is a star. It is a ball of gas that gives out large amounts of heat and light energy. The Sun is like the stars you can see in the sky at night. The stars do not look very bright because they are a lot further away than the Sun. People often group stars into patterns called constellations.

The Sun is one of millions of stars in our galaxy, which is called the Milky Way. There are millions of galaxies in the Universe.

The stars are a very long way from Earth. Scientists measure distances to the stars using light years. A light year is the distance that light can travel in one year.

Sec1 Sci P7b信息摘要表地球及其他我们生活在一个叫做地球的星球上。地球从太阳获得热量和光。地球每 24小时旋转一次。面向太阳的地球一侧有日光,背靠太阳的一侧是夜晚。

地球围绕太阳运行。一年只需要一年时间。一年实际上是 365.25天,所以每四年我们有一个闰年,当增加一天。

月球是地球的卫星。它每 28天绕地球一圈。这被称为农历月。

我们可以看到月亮,因为它反射来自太阳的光。月亮似乎在月内改变了形状。不同的形状被称为月亮的阶段。这些阶段的发生是因为我们不能总是看到被太阳照亮的所有部分。

有时月亮阻挡来自太阳的光线。当发生这种情况时,我们会发生日食。如果月亮进入地球的阴影,我们就会发生月食。

日食。月食。

地球的轴是倾斜的。当北半球向太阳倾斜时,英国的夏天就是夏天。天比夜晚长,太阳在天空中更高。太阳的光线更集中,所以感觉更热。

绕太阳运行的行星有九颗,还有许多小行星。大多数行星都有围绕它们运行的卫星。太阳,行星及其卫星以及小行星构成了太阳系。

九个行星是水星,金星,地球,火星,木星,土星,天王星,海王星和冥王星。您可以使用这句话“我非常简单的方法总结九个行星”来记住行星的顺序。

行星不会发光。我们有时可以看到行星,因为它们反射来自太阳的光。

太阳是一颗星。它是一个气体球,释放出大量的热量和光能。太阳就像夜晚在天空中可以看到的星星。星星看起来不是很明亮,因为它们比太阳远得多。人们经常将星星分组为称为星座的模式。

太阳是我们银河系中数以百万计的恒星之一,被称为银河系。宇宙中有数百万个星系。

星星离地球很远。科学家使用光年来测量与恒星的距离。光年是光在一年内传播的距离。

GALILEO'S DRAWINGS AND WRITINGSMOON DRAWINGS

Drawings of the moon as seen with Galileo's telescope. By his own account, Galileo first observed the Moon on November 30, 1609. Comparing patterns of light and shadow in the vicinity of the terminator (dividing line between light and shadow) at first and third quarter, Galileo could argue convincingly that there exists mountains and valleys on the lunar surface. Aristotelian doctrine stipulated that celestial bodies were perfectly smooth and spherical. Drawing reproduced from Galileo's 1610 Sidereus Nuncius.

The first telescopic observations of the Moon on record were carried out by the English man Thomas Harriot (ca. 1560-1621), on the evening of July 26, 1609. However, based on his extant correspondence, as well as entries in his notebooks, as in the case of sunspots, Harriot did not appear to have drawn any particular physical significance from what he saw.

SKETCHES OF FAINT STARS

Sketches of faint stars in the Orion constellation, as seen by Galileo through his telescope. The larger stars with a central dots are those visible to the naked eye, with the topmost three corresponding to the so-called beltof Orion. That the universe contained many more stars than previously known gave moral support to the idea that it may also be a lot larger than assumed up to then. This idea had been advanced by Nicolaus Copernicus himself, as a possible explanation for the lack of observed annual parallax in the fixed stars. Reproduced from Galileo's 1610 Sidereus Nuncius.

SKETCH OF JUPITER'S MOONS

Sketches of the four moons of Jupiter, as seen by Galileo through his telescope. What he saw are the four larger moons of Jupiter, now known as Io, Europa, Ganymede and Callisto. The drawing depicts observations from the time period January 7 to 24, 1610. Galileo had considerable difficulty in recognizing the true meaning of what he was seeing; Callisto often layout side the (restricted) field of view of his telescope, Io often lost in Jupiter's glare, and some moon occasionally disappeared in Jupiter's shadow or behind or in front of the planet itself.

Galileo named the moons Medicean Stars, after the ruling Florentine family Medici. This was a move calculated to improve his chances of moving back to Florence, and it succeeded. The names used today were coined by Simon Mayr (1573-1624), who for a time claimed priority on their discovery.
