THE SUN MOON AND THE EARTH! By: Matthew, Adam, and Bella The Sun: Matthew • • Sun What is the distance from the Sun to the Moon? 238,857 miles. What is the distance from the Sun to the Earth? 93,000,000 miles. How do the characteristics of the Sun affect life on the Sun? The Sun is so hot that it is impossible for there to be a living person on the Sun. Explain how day and night occur because of the Sun. Day and night occur because the earth rotates around its own axis. This rotation takes about 24 hours to complete. As the sun is a star and not a planet, it stands still, and when one side of earth faces the sun - we call it day. And the side facing away from sun is cast in shadow - we call it night wikianswers.com Explain how the seasons occur because of the Sun. When the Earth is on one side it is Summer on the top and Winter on the bottom. When the Earth is in the other direction it is Winter on the top and Summer on the bottom. The Moon: Bella • Moon • What is the distance from the Moon to the Sun? 93,000,000 miles What is the distance from the Moon to the Earth? 239,000 384,000km Describe the motion of the Moon around the Earth. The Moon rotates Earth in 27 days. Explain how the visible shape of the Moon follows a predictable cycle (hint: this cycle takes about 1 month). New Moon, Full Moon, waning gibus,and many more. Bella Moon The Earth: Adam • What is the distance from the Earth to the 149.6 million km. about 150,000,000,km 93,000,000 miles What is the distance from the Earth to the Moon? 238,857 miles 384,403 km How does the distance from the Earth to the Sun affect life on our planet? That's how we have our seasons and day & night. We can't live our life without the sun. Explain how the orbit of the Earth around the sun relates to one calendar year. 1 year = 365 days. Explain how the spin of the Earth creates day and night. Rotating creates day and night. Half of the earth has sun the other half has night. THE END!!
