  1. Earth Vocab…Lessons 1, 2, 3 Quiz#1- Wednesday Review study materials!!

  2. a body that orbits a planet. satellite

  3. An object that orbits the sun • Large enough to have become rounded by its own gravity. planets

  4. a streak of light produced when a small object burns up entering Earth’s atmosphere. meteors

  5. is a cold mixture of dust and ice that gives up a long trail of light as it approaches the sun. comet

  6. giant ball of hot gas • Tiny points of light stars

  7. Is a pattern or groups of stars in the sky. constellations

  8. Imaginary line that passes through Earth’s center and the North and South poles axis

  9. Spinning of the Earth and moon around its axis. rotation

  10. It takes the Earth 365 ¼ days to complete one • Movement of the Earth around the Sun or the movement of the moon around the Earth revolution

  11. Earth moves around the sun in a regular, curved path called a(n) • Earth’s ______ brings it closer to the sun in January orbit

  12. Caused by Earth’s tilted axis and its revolution around the sun seasons

  13. If the Northern Hemisphere is tilted away from the Sun, what season is occurring? winter

  14. What season occurs when part of Earth is tilted towards the Sun? summer

  15. What seasons occur when the Earth is neither tilted toward or away from the Sun? Spring & Autumn/Fall

  16. Sun appears farthest north of the equator and south each year • Longest day of the year in Northern Hemisphere and shortest day of the year in Southern Hemisphere solstice

  17. The sun is directly overhead at the equator • Means “equal night” • 12 hours of daylight and 12 hours of night equinox

  18. The Winter Solstice begins on December 21 or 22

  19. The Spring Equinox begins on March 20 or 21

  20. The Summer Solstice begins on June 21 or 22

  21. The Fall Equinox begins on September 22 or 23

  22. Attracts all objects to each other • Keeps the Earth in an orbit around the sun • Keeps the moon in an orbit around the Earth gravity

  23. Amount of matter in an object • Remains constant mass

  24. Measure of the force of gravity on an object • Changes depending on location weight

  25. Every object in the universe attracts every other object Law of universal gravitation

  26. Tendency of an object to resist a change in motion • Example: when a car is moving and suddenly stop; you keep moving forward inertia

  27. An object at rest will stay at rest and an object in motion will stay in motion unless acted on by a force Newton’s first Law of motion
