Who was Nicolaus Copernicus? • Developed the heliocentric model-the Sun is the center of Solar System • Earth is just another planet in our Solar System…but the only one with life!
Exciting facts I learned! • Earth is 12,756 km (93 million mi) from the Sun...pack a snack for that trip! • It takes 365 days to revolve around the Sun…we know what that means “Happy New Year!”
Who knew Earth’s axis is tilted 23.5 degrees!? • 24 hour rotation on its axis = 1 day • 1 revolution + tilt of axis = seasons
Did you know that Earth’s average temperature is 62.6 degrees F?! Hmm…that’s the perfect temperature to enjoy the outdoors…camping perhaps.
Blast off into the atmosphere!! Here we go!!
Troposphere –weather occursStratosphere – aircraftsThermosphere – space shuttle orbitsExosphere – upper limits, outer space
Journey to the center of the Earth… Crust – thin silicate rock material Mantle – mostly solid rock under crust Outer Core – a liquid molten core of metals like nickel and iron Inner Core – a solid metal core made up of metals like nickel and iron, it is 1200 km in diameter
Mountains and craters and oceans…oh my!Mt. Everest the tallest mountain in the world located in China. Trip?
What is THAT?!A crater…where can I find one of those??? • Arizona! It is named the Barringer crater believed to have been created by a meteorite…I wonder if it could happen again???
No, of course not! One theory…an object collided with Earth and debris orbited the atmosphere and joined together.
