DESCRIPTION
The Reason for the Seasons The reason for the seasons on Earth is due to the tilt of the axis as it moves around the sun. During a full moon a lunar eclipse can occur. The differences in how much the moon pulls on different parts of the Earth causes the tides.TRANSCRIPT

Love the Earth!• It takes the Earth 24 hours to rotate
on its axis.
• The Earth’s rotation on its axis causes night and day.
• For the Earth to make one full revolution around the sun, it takes about one year, or 365 days.

The Reason for the Seasons• The reason for the seasons on Earth
is due to the tilt of the axis as it moves around the sun.
• During a full moon a lunar eclipse can occur.
• The differences in how much the moon pulls on different parts of the Earth causes the tides.

Under the moonlight…
• It is easier to see a lunar eclipse than a solar eclipse due to the fact that you must be in the moon’s shadow to see a solar eclipse.
• The moon includes: – Marias – Highlands– Craters

So, you want space travel???
• Accommodations for space travel include: – Spacesuits that handle a wide variety of
temperatures– Methods to move around– Dealing with zero gravity
• Because astronauts do not have protection of the Earth’s atmosphere, they must wear spacesuits to protect them from solar radiation.

On Earth we need…• For life on Earth, it is necessary to
have: – Liquid water– Suitable temperatures– Atmosphere containing gases living
things need• An equinox occurs when neither of the
poles are pointed towards the sun.

Layers of the Atmosphere
• The Troposphere– Is 7 miles up– The closest layer to Earth– Contains 75% of our atmospheric gases– Has weather, clouds, and smog

Layers of the Atmosphere
• The Thermosphere– 50 miles and upward– Warmest layer of the atmosphere– Contains the ionosphere and exosphere– Reflects radio waves

Layers of the Atmosphere
• The Stratosphere– Jet stream is located here– Little to no water vapor– 7-30 miles upward– The ozone layer is located here

Vocab, vocab,
vocab!!!Maria Vast, dark plains on the moon made of basalt
Axis Imaginary line passing through the center of a planet that the planet spins around
Orbit Path an object follow in spaces as it revolves around another object
Solar Eclipse
Occurs when the moon passes between Earth and the sun, blocking the sun’s light from Earth
Tide The daily rise and fall of the oceans caused mainly by the gravitational pull of the moon

Vocab, vocab, vocab!!!
Spring tide Tides that are the most extreme, occur twice a month at full and new moon phases
Neap tide Tides that are the least extreme, happen twice a month, at first and last quarter moon phases
Solstice One of two days in the year when hours of daylight and hours of darkness are at their greatest and least
Rotation Spinning of a planet, moon, or sun or other object around its axis
Crater A bowl-shaped hollow in the ground, caused by a volcano or by a meteor strike

Which season?
A = SummerB = Fall C = WinterD = Spring; Not visible due to the position of the sun

Did someone say moon phases?
• Letter A = full moon• Letter C = new moon• A lunar eclipse would = C• A solar eclipse would = A• Neap tide = AC• Spring tide = BD

The tides that bind
• Pictured above is a SPRING tide

Is there a man on the moon?
• The moon takes 29.5 days, or one month to rotate around the Earth.
• We can see the moon each day because the Earth rotates on its axis so that it the same moon phase can be seen by all.
• Because it takes the moon the same amount of time to rotate and revolve, we see the SAME side of the moon.
