Moon and Seasons Review

Explore Earth & Moon science: seasons, phases, eclipses, and planets!

Use the diagram below to answer the following questions. Fill in the blanks with the word in the word bank below. One Earth rotation takes 24 hours. The Earth revolves around the Sun every 365 1 days. The Earth's path of revolution is elliptical shaped and moves in a counterclockwise direction. Seasons are caused by the tilt of the Earth's axis relative to the Sun as the Earth revolves. The Sun is most direct in New York when the axis in the Northern Hemisphere leans toward the Sun. In the Northern Hemisphere, the Winter Solstice occurs on December 21st and the Summer Solstice occurs on June 21st. When the Northern Hemisphere tilted away from the Sun the North Pole has 24 hours of dark and the Southern Pole has 24 hours of daylight. Spring Equinox occurs on March 21st and Fall Equinox on September 21st. There are 12 hours of daylight and 12 hours of darkness. The Moon is a natural satellite of the Earth. True False How long does one revolution around the Earth take the Moon? 30 days 27 days 27 1 days 15 days Match the phase of the Moon to the best description. new moon when the Moo between the Sun and Earth and not visible by Earth Full Moon the Moon appears completely illuminated Match the "eclipse to the description. Solar Eclipse Moon passes between Earth and Sun Lunar Eclipse Earth passes between Sun and Moon Complete the fill in on the Moon. We see the Moon because it reflects light from the Sun. Moon phases describe the part of the Moon that is visible to us on Earth. The Moon revolves around the Earth once every 27 1 days. Tides are caused by the gravitational pull of the Moon on the oceans. We can only see one side of the Moon because the rate of rotation is equal to the rate of revolution. Watch the video below and take notes on the Moon Phases. Watch the video on Earth's tilt and seasons. Would Earth still have seasons if the Earth did not have a tilt? Explain.
