The Earth,Sun, Moon System Review
A student find this model on a website. According to the model, what season is occurring in the Southern Hemisphere at position A? Fall Spring Summer Winter A student is talking with her Mom about the picture below. He explains why part of Earth is light and the other half is dark. Which reasoning best describes why the Earth has day and night? The Moon rotates on an axis. The Earth rotates on an axis. The Moon revolves around the Earth. The Earth revolves around the Sun. What keeps the Earth in its orbit? The Sun's speed rotating. The Sun's gravitational pull. Earth's rotation direction. Earth's location between the other planets. The diagram shows the phases of the Moon as they are seen from the surface of Earth. Based upon this diagram, which numbers represent the first and third quarter phases of the Moon? Numbers 1 and 5 Numbers 3 and 5 Numbers 3 and 7 Numbers 5 and 7 Four students used the diagram to study the relationships in the Earth-Moon-Sun system. Each students made a conclusion based on the diagram.Student 1: The Moon is passing through the Earth's shadow.Student 2: The Moon is blocking the light from the Sun.Student 3: The Moon will be in an eclipse.Student 4: The Sun will not be visible from Earth.Which students are correct? (all images below are identical) Student 1 and Student 2 Student 2 and Student 3 Student 1 and Student 3 Student 2 and Student 4 One complete revolution of Earth around the Sun is called a day night moonth year When is the force of gravity between two objects in the solar system the greatest? Masses are large and objects are close together. Masses are large and objects are far apart. Masses are small and objects are close together. Masses are small and objects are far apart. The two forces that combine to keep the planet in orbit are gravity and mass weight and mass gravity and inertia inertia and mass Why isn't there an eclipse every month? The Earth is bigger than the Moon. The orbits of the Earth and Moon are different shapes. The Moon moves faster than the Earth. The Earth's orbit around the Sun is not in the same plane as the Moon's orbit around the Earth. Earth has seasons because it is tilted on its axis. it rotates on its axis. It gets further away from the Sun. one side faces away from the Sun. Earth's rotation takes about one month. 24 hours. 365 days. one week.
