  2. Models That Help Explain Apparent Celestial Motions

  3. Geocentric Model Assumption that the Earth is stationary and that most celestial objects revolve around it http://laserstars.org/references/shells.gif

  4. Heliocentric Model Assumption that the Earth both rotates on an imaginary axis and revolves around the sun in an orbit. The moon revolves around the Earth. http://boojum.as.arizona.edu/~jill/NS102_2006/Lectures/Lecture4/Copernicus_solar_system.gif

  5. Actual Earth Motions

  6. Axis The imaginary line through the planet from the North Pole to the South Pole http://www.tiltedearth.org/images/tilted-earth-axis.gif

  7. Foucault Pendulum When allowed to swing freely, its path will appear to change in a predictable way. This is evidence of Earth’s rotation because the pendulum – due to inertia – would continue to swing in the original path if the Earth did not rotate http://farm1.static.flickr.com/20/70589378_68a6939551.jpg

  8. Coriolis Effect Tendency of all particles of matter moving at Earth’s surface to be deflected, or curve away, from a straight-line path http://www.seisdeagosto.com/indica/wp-content/uploads/2006/05/Coriolis_effect14.png

  9. Constellation A group of stars that form a pattern and are used to help people locate celestial objects http://www.utahskies.org/deepsky/constellations/maps/virgo.jpg

  10. Earth and Moon Motions and Time

  11. Local Time Time based on the rotation of Earth as reflected in motions of the sun

  12. Time Zones 15-degree-wide longitudinal bands which maintain the same time, created to standardize time for regions http://www.radio6767.com/forums/uploaded/ferne/2007112313485_timezonesmap.gif

  13. Actual Motions of Earth’s Moon

  14. Tides The gravitation between the Earth, the moon, and the sun results in a cyclic rise and fall of ocean waters on Earth http://www.atlantickayaktours.com/images/drawings/Navigation/SpringNeap-Tides-color.gif

  15. Eclipse When a celestial object partly or completely comes into shadow of another celestial object http://www.keralatips.org/wp-content/uploads/2007/02/kerala-lunar-eclipse.jpg
