The Earth / Moon / Sun Relationship

Page 3: 1A.

The Seasons

1. What are the seasons?

2. What causes them?

3. Are the seasons the same all around the world?

Page 4: 1A.

The Seasons

• The seasons are caused by the tilt of the Earth and it’s orbital position.• In the summer (for us) the northern

hemisphere is tilted toward the sun during the day.

• In the winter (for us) the northern hemisphere is tilted away the sun during the day.

The Tides

4. What are the tides?

5. What causes them?

6. How often do they occur?

7. Are they the same all over the world?

Page 8: 1A.

The Tides

• The tides are a result of the moon’s gravity pulling on the Earth.• The moon does not pull equally on all

parts of the Earth and because the oceans are a liquid they are “pulled” by the gravity.• Oceans closer to the moon

experience “high tides”• Oceans to the “side” of the Earth

experience “low tides”.

The Phases of the Moon

14. What are the “phases” of the moon?

15. What causes them?

16. Are the phases the same all over the world?

Page 31: 1A.

• Phases of the moon• The change in the sunlit area of the moon as seen

from Earth• Half of the moon is always lit• Depending on the position of the Earth and moon we

only see parts of the lit area• Waxing• The sunlit area is getting larger

• Waning• The sunlit area is getting smaller

• Phases

Asteroids

17. What are asteroids?

18. What causes them?

Page 35: 1A.

• Asteroids are small rocky objects that orbit the sun• Most asteroids orbit the sun in the region between

Mars and Jupiter• This region is called the asteroid belt

• Asteroids are made of many different materials• Some contain organic material• Others contain rock or metals

Comets

19. What are comets?

20. What causes them?

Page 40: 1A.

• Comets are small objects made of ice, rock, and cosmic dust that orbit the sun• They travel in an elliptical orbit

• Comet tails• as they pass close to the sun comets give of gases

and dust• Comets originate in the Oort cloud.• The Oort cloud is a spherical region that surrounds

the solar system• Some comets exist in the Kuiper belt• The Kuiper belt is a region just outside the orbit of

Neptune that is similar to the asteroid belt

• Meteoroids• Meteoroids• A really small, rocky body that travels through

space• Probably pieces of asteroids

• Meteorite• A meteoroid that falls into Earth’s atmosphere

• Meteor• The bright streak of light caused by a meteoroid

burning up in the atmosphere
