  1. The Sun, Earth, and Moon By: Logan Kennedy, Kevin Roberts 9th

  2. Our Solar System • Home galaxy: Milky Way spiral • Home star: Sun G2V • Home Planet: Earth • Home Planet’s Moon(s): Moon • Other planets in Solar System: Mercury, Venus, Mars, Jupiter, Saturn, Uranus, Neptune, Pluto.

  3. The Sun • It is the center of the solar system • Gravity: 27.94 g • Along with the moon creates tides on earth. • Size 1,392,000 km about 109 times earth • Time Sun up –Sun down • Classified as a G2v star

  4. Earth • Only known life supporting planet • Tides caused by Sun and Moon. • Neap are weak tides caused by when the Sun and Moon pull from different directions. • Spring tides are powerful tides caused by when the Sun, Earth, and Moon are in a straight line • Seasons are caused by the sun and Earth’s tilt • Magnetic field creates aurora

  5. Earth’s Tides • Neap Tides: Sun and Moon pulling from different directions Spring Tides : Sun and Moon In same line

  6. Earth’s Season • Due to the Earth’s tilting the Sun shines more on a certain place more than others. Causing the Sunrise-Sunset relation times to differ. • Solstice: Earth is largely tilted causing the Hemi-spheres’ Sunrise-Sunset relation times to be shorter or longer than the norm. • Equinox: Time in both hemispheres’ are almost equal. • Northern hemi. Solstice-Equinox Times. • Summer Solstice :North hemi. time is longest on this day • Autumnal Equinox :About the same with Southern hemi. • Winter Solstice: North hemi. Time is shortest on this day • Vernal Equinox: About same time as Southern hemi. • .

  7. Aurora • Earth’s magnetic field (magnetosphere) blocks it from the Sun’s deadly radiation. • When the magnetospherecan not hold anymore it slingshots the particles back into a wondrous light show. • Auroras only appear at latitudes 3 dg. to 6 dg. • Known aurora colors: Green, Red, Indigo, Blue, and Ingdigo

  8. The Moon • Only natural satellite (moon of earth) • Orbit at 384,400 km from Earth • Diameter 3476 km • Mass 7.35e22 kg • Due to the Earth position and rotation and the moons position and rotation along with the sun it is shown to have various shapes though it is because of the sun shine on it and it and us rotating around the sun.

  9. The eight main phases of the Moon • Key • 1. New Moon • 2. Waxing Crescent • 3. First Quart. • 4. Waxing Gibbous • 5. Full moon • 6. waning Gibbous • 7. Third Quart. • 8. Waning Crescent 3 4 2 5 1 6 8 7

  10. Gravity Gravity is one of the four fundamental forces of physics; Electromagnetism, weak nuclear force, strong nuclear force, and of course gravity. The other forces are stronger than gravity because gravity must go through the 4 dimensions Height, Depth, Length, and Time or Space-time. Relative planet gravities in relation to one another For a 100lb person: Sun: 2707.2 lbs The moon16.6 Saturn:: 106.4 Pluto: 6.7 Mercury: 37.8 Mars: 37.7 Uranus: 88.9 Venus: 90.7 Jupiter: 236.4 Neptune: 112.5
