Earth and Space Sciences • Describe how the positions and motions of the objects in the universe cause predictable and cyclic events.
• Describe how objects in the solar system are in regular and predictable motions that explain such phenomena as days, years, seasons, eclipses, tides and moon cycles.
Ground Rules
• Check your mic and speakers before class begins.
• If you have a question, raise your hand, but be patient!
• Be respectful of each other.

• Science is about testing — and about looking closely. Some scientists use microscopes to take a close look. You can do the same using a simple piece of paper.

QUESTIONS?
Remember SI is adaptive and the answer choices are randomized.
That means your letter A may be different than what I have on my slide.
The Sun is the center of the solar system. Relative to the planets, moons,
asteroid belts, and dwarf planets, the Sun is essentially stationary.
Relative to the entire universe, the Sun and the entire solar system are all
moving together, away from the center of the universe.

The Earth, the Sun, and the seven other planets that are in orbit around the
Sun are part of a solar system. The planets in our solar system are: Mercury,
Venus, Earth, Mars, Jupiter, Saturn, Uranus, and Neptune.
Our solar system also contains all of the meteoroids, asteroids, and comets
that are in orbit around the Sun and all of the moons that orbit the eight
planets.
Comets have very elliptical orbits that usually take them far beyond the orbit of
Pluto, but also take them closer to the Sun than Earth
Revolution refers to one object moving around another object. It
takes the Earth exactly one year to revolve one time around the
Sun. It has been a year since Samson went to the zoo.

There are 4 tides (2 low and 2 high) every 24 hours. So, the tide
changes every 6 hours. High tide occurs when the Moon is closest
to the Earth, and then again 12 hours later when the Moon is on
the opposite side of the Earth.

Because the Earth is tilted on its axis and because the Earth
revolves around the Sun, different parts of the Earth are tilted toward
the Sun at different times throughout the year.
The combination of the Earth's axial tilt and the Earth's revolution
around the Sun causes different amounts of the Sun's energy to hit the
surface of the Earth at different times of the year, and it causes
variations in the length of "daytime".

These variations in the intensity of the sunlight reaching the Earth and
the length of daytime result in different seasons throughout the year.
