MID-TERM REVIEW 2013-2014 Astronomy 1. HOW DOES THE EARTH MOVE IN SPACE? Revolution 1. HOW DOES THE EARTH MOVE IN SPACE? Rotation • Spins on its axis • Takes 24 hours 2. WHAT CAUSES THE SEASONS? •The TILT of the Earth!!!! • animation MATCHING 3. B 4. D 5. G 6. E or F 7. E OR F 8. A 9. C 10. WHAT DETERMINES THE STRENGTH OF THE FORCE OF GRAVITY BETWEEN 2 OBJECTS? • Distance between objects…the closer they are the stronger the pull of gravity • Size of the objects…the bigger they are they more the pull of gravity 11. WHAT TWO FACTORS COMBINE TO KEEP THE MOON AND THE EARTH IN ORBIT? • Gravity—pulling it towards the Sun • Inertia-objects in motion stay in motion MATCHING 12.B 13.D 14.A 15.F 16.C 17.E 18.G 19. WHAT CAUSES THE PHASES OF THE MOON? • Phases depend on how much of the lit side of the moon we see on Earth • Takes 28-29 days to complete the cycle…about a month 20. LABEL THE PHASES OF THE MOON 21. WHAT ARE SOLAR AND LUNAR ECLIPSES? • Solar Eclipse 21. WHAT ARE SOLAR AND LUNAR ECLIPSES? • Lunar Eclipse 22. WHAT CAUSES THE TIDES? • The Alignment of the Sun, moon, and the Earth. • The Moon has a stronger pull because it is so close to the Earth • Spring Tide Neap tide MATCHING 23. B 24. G 25. A 26. E 27. C 28. D 29. F 30. WHAT OBJECTS MAKE UP THE SOLAR SYSTEM? • Sun • Moon • 8 Planets • Asteroids, comets, meteroids 31. WHAT ARE THE LAYERS OF THE SUN’S INTERIOR? 32. WHAT CHARACTERISTICS DO THE INNER PLANETS HAVE IN COMMON? • Small • Solid or rocky • No rings • Few or no moons 33. WHAT CHARACTERISTICS DO THE OUTER PLANETS HAVE IN COMMON? • HUGE • Made out of gas • Many rings • Many, many moons 34. WHAT ARE THE CHARACTERISTICS OF COMETS? • Ice, dust and rocky particles caught in an orbit around the Sun 35. WHERE ARE THE MOST ASTEROIDS FOUND? • In the asteroid belt between the inner and outer planets 36. WHAT ARE METEOROIDS AND HOW DO THEY FORM? • Chunks of rock or dust in space • They typically come from asteroids or comets • They do not have a set orbit • Meteoroid Meteor Meteorite 37. WHAT IS A STAR SYSTEM? • Stars that are members of groups of 2 or more stars 38. WHAT ARE THE MAJOR TYPES OF GALAXIES? • Spiral, Elliptical, Irregular • They are groups of stars bound together by Gravity • We live in a spiral Galaxy called the Milky Way MILKY WAY-TOP VIEW Sun s location MILKY WAY-SIDE VIEW Sun’s location 39. WHAT IS THE BIG BANG THEORY? • Enormous explosion that created our universe • Continues to expand today 40. HOW DID THE SOLAR SYSTEM FORM? • About 5 billion years ago a cloud of dust collapsed to form the Sun and the planets • The planets formation is called the Dust Cloud Theory 41. WHAT DO ASTRONOMERS PREDICT ABOUT THE FUTURE OF THE UNIVERSE? • Continue to expand further and further apart • Expand to a point, then snap back like a rubber band H-R DIAGRAM WHAT TYPE OF ECLIPSE IS THE PICTURE SHOWING? 1.
