  1. Sun, Moon, Earth, How do they work together to help life survive? Day and Night

  2. Days and Years • Astronomy

  3. Days and Years • Astronomy • Study of the moon, stars and other objects in space.

  4. Rotation • Earth rotates counter clockwise into the sun’s light if you are looking down on the North pole (night and day).

  5. Rotation • Earth rotates counter clockwise into the sun’s light if you are looking down on the North pole (night and day). • Axis: 23½º (tilt)

  6. Rotation • Earth rotates counter clockwise into the sun’s light if you are looking down on the North pole (night and day). • Axis: 23½º (tilt) • Imaginary line that passes through Earth’s center at the N & S Poles.

  7. Earth’s Rotation • At the equator the Earth has a circumference of 40,070 km.

  8. Earth’s Rotation • At the equator the Earth has a circumference of 40,070 km. • Rotates once in 24 hours.

  9. Earth’s Rotation • At the equator the Earth has a circumference of 40,070 km. • Rotates once in 24 hours. • This means that the speed of the Earth at the equator is 1,670 km/hr (1,070 miles/hr).

  10. Earth’s Rotation • At the equator the Earth has a circumference of 40,070 km. • Rotates once in 24 hours. • This means that the speed of the Earth at the equator is 1,670 km/hr (1,070 miles/hr). • At 45 degrees N and S The speed is 1,180 km/hr.

  11. Earth’s Rotation • At the equator the Earth has a circumference of 40,070 km. • Rotates once in 24 hours. • This means that the speed of the Earth at the equator is 1,670 km/hr (1,070 miles/hr). • At 45 degrees N and S The speed is 1,180 km/hr. • Winston Salem, NC the speed is about 1,367 km/hr.
