Unit 3 Review Earth & Solar System

REVIEW SLIDES Review the slides before answering working on any of the activities. Use the slides as a reference while completing the activities. Read the entire paragraph. Fill in the blank with the correct word to complete each sentence. Planet Earth rotates once on its axis every 24 hours. Earth's rotation is the reason we have day and night. It takes one year for Planet Earth to revolve around the sun. Earth's seasons are caused by Earth's revolving and Earth's tilt. When Earth is located on one side of the Sun, the tilt causes the Northern Hemisphere to be leaning toward the sun. When Earth is on the opposite side of the Sun the same tilt causes the Northern Hemisphere to lean away from the Sun. When the Northern Hemisphere is leaning towards the Sun, the season is summer in the Northern Hemisphere and winter in the southern hemisphere. When the Northern Hemisphere is leaning away from the Sun, the season is winter in the Northern Hemisphere and summer in the southern hemisphere. When the sun is directly above the equator and it's the two times of the year when the day and night lengths are the same is the equinox. The time of the year when the sun is farthest north or south of the equator is the solstice. What degree is Earth's tilt? 25.3 degrees 23.5 degrees 32.5 degrees 25 degrees Study the following diagram.
