  1. Earth, Moon and Sun Interactions

  2. Earth's Season's -Because the Earth is on a 23.5 degree axis, it causes uneven heating of the Earth. -Seasons are caused as Earth, tilted on it's axis, travels in a loop around the sun every year. -When the hemisphere is tilted toward the sun, summer happens.Winter happens when the hemisphere is tilted away from the sun.

  3. The Moon -The moon is a round rocky sphere that orbits the moon. -The moon is made up of rocks that reflect the light from the sun, which is what makes the moon look bright in the night sky.

  4. Moon Phases the moon phases include: new moon-when the moon and sun are in line with each other waxing crescent-less than 1/2 of the moon is lit up first quarter-1/2 of the moon is lit up waxing gibbous-3/4 of the moon is lit up full moon-the entire moon is lit up waning gibbous-the lit section of the moon is slowly decreasing in size last quarter-half of the moon is lit up waning crescent-1/4 of the moon is lit up

  5. Tides tidal forces:

  7. Tides: periodic rises and falls of large bodies of water. -caused by the gravitational pulls of the sun and moon.

  8. Lunar- -A lunar eclipse the moon passes directly behind the earth and into its shadow. -Tends to last for around an hour and half -Not dangerous to look at because it does not make its own light. -A lunar eclipse can only occur when the Earth, Sun, and Moon are directly aligned. Lunar Eclipses

  9. Solar Eclipses Solar- -Solar eclipses occur when the moon passes between the sun and the earth -During a solar eclipse, you can only see a ring of light around the moon. -It is dangerous to look at a solar eclipse directly because the light is blindingly bright.
