by fusion
What is a star?

What are solar
flares or

Streams of
electrically
charged particles
from the Sun
produce these.
What are solar
winds?
When the moon is
directly between
the Earth and the
Sun.
What is a solar
eclipse?
The length of
Earth’s rotation
and revolution.
What is 24 hours
and 365 day?
The two factors
that combine to
keep Earth and
the moon in their
orbits.
What are gravity
and
inertia(remember
inertia)?
Earth being tilted
on its axis as it
revolves around
the Sun causes
these.
What are the
seasons?
The summer
solstice occurs in
the southern
hemisphere when
the Sun is in this
position.
What is its
furthest southern
point?
The strength of
the force of
gravity depends
on these two
things.
What is the
masses of the
objects and the
distance between
them?
The phases of the
moon you see,
depend on this.
What is the amount of light
that is being reflected on
the moon by the sun?
The reason we

Earth’s
atmosphere
What is a meteor?
A large chunk of
rock traveling
through space
What is an
Asteroid?
A large chunk of ice, dust,
frozen gases and rock
fragments traveling
through space pulled by
orbit of the Sun’s gravity
What is a Comet?
The Asteroid Belt
is between these
two planets
