Understanding Celestial Bodies: The Relationship Between the Sun, Earth, Moon, and Tides

Explore the intricate dynamics of the Sun, Earth, and Moon, and their influence on tides and eclipses. Learn why the Sun and Moon appear similar in size from Earth, the concepts of heliocentrism, Earth's rotation, and the causes of day and night. Discover how the tilt of Earth's axis affects seasons, the phases of the Moon—waxing and waning—and the nature of tides, including spring and neap tides. Understand the phenomena of lunar and solar eclipses and what determines their occurrences.

  2. The sun appears the same size as the moon in the sky for this reason

  3. What is distance from the earth?

  4. The sun as the center of the revolving planets is this model

  5. What is heliocentric?

  6. The sun appears to move across the sky for this reason

  7. What is earth’s rotation?

  8. Shadows are longer in the winter because of this

  9. What is the sun appears to be low in the sky?

  10. This is the reason the moon shines

  11. What is sunlight’s reflection?

  12. This is the earth’s main source of energy

  13. What is the sun?

  14. The earth experiences day and night in 24 hours for these reasons

  15. What are earth’s rotation and the sun only shining on half at a time?

  16. This is the reason we experience seasons on earth

  17. What is the tilt of the earth’s axis?

  18. When the northern hemisphere is this, the days are longer, there is direct light, and it is summer

  19. What is tilted toward the sun?

  20. This keeps us warm at night

  21. What is earth’s atmosphere?

  22. This is when the moon is lit on the left

  23. What is waning?

  24. This is when the moon is lit on the right

  25. What is waxing?

  26. This is the main reason the moon appears to change shapes

  27. What is the moon’s revolution?

  28. What is a full moon?

  29. Because the moon’s revolution and rotation take the same amount of time, this amount of time is equal to a day on the moon

  30. What is a year?

  31. This tide occurs during quarter moons

  32. What is a neap tide?

  33. This is the reason for tides on earth

  34. What is moon’s gravity?

  35. This causes this tide

  36. What is a spring tide?

  37. This is the number of high tides in one day

  38. What is two?

  39. High and low tides occur twice each day because of this

  40. What is earth’s rotation?

  41. When you experience a total eclipse, you are in this

  42. What is the umbra?

  43. This is why we don’t experience lunar and solar eclipses every month

  44. What is moon’s tilted orbit?

  45. When you experience this, you are in a partial eclipse

  46. What is the penumbra?

  47. What is a lunar eclipse?

  48. This is the total number of eclipses every year
