Chapter 22.2: Earth-Moon-Sun System
The two main motions of Earth are rotation and revolution.
Rotation: the Earth rotates on its axis Revolution: the Earth revolves around the sun

Precession: slow movement of the axis of a spinning object Axis point of Earth’s tilt continually changes.
Currently pointing towards the star Polaris.

The Ecliptic is the plane of which the Earth orbits the sun.
Aphelion: the point on the ellipse when Earth is farthest from the sun
Perihelion: the point on the ellipse when Earth is closest to the sun

The entire solar system is spinning towards the bright star Vega at 240 km/sec!
All the stars are revolving around the galactic center.
A full revolution takes approximately 230 million years!

Perigee: point on the ellipse when the moon is closest to Earth
Apogee: point on the ellipse when the moon is farthest from Earth

A Solar eclipse is when the moon is directly aligned between the Earth and the sun
A lunar eclipse is when the moon moves into the Earth’s shadow and turns a reddish orange color

The moon is inclined about 5 degrees above the plane of the ecliptic.Why doesn’t an eclipse occur every month? Next total
