Sun, Moon, Earth 10) A complete moon cycle is how many weeks? a. 4 11) How many low and high tides occur in one day? a. 4 12) When the sun/ moon’s gravity are working together, this type of tide occurs. a.
with a New Moon, notice that the sun, moon, and earth are in alignment, with the moon in between the earth and sun. This is an angle of 0o. Since the moon orbits the earth in a counter-clockwise direction, the angle formed between the sun and moon as observed from earth increases, with the moon on the left-side of the sun. Since
Moon Orbits the Earth The moon revolves (orbits) the Earth every 27.3 days and rotates on its axis every 27.3 days. This causes the same side of the moon to always face the earth. Phases of the moon: New moon – Waxing Crescent – 1st Quarter – waxing gibbous – Full moon – Waning gibbous – 3rd Quarter – Waning Crescent - New Moon
again. The seasons change as Earth moves around the Sun. Summer turns to winter because Earth’s motion changes how energy from the Sun spreads out over Earth’s surface. The Sun The nearest star to Earth is the Sun. The Sun is about 150 million km from Earth. The Sun is much larger than Earth. The Sun’s diameter is more than 100 times .

sun, earth, and moon to review important information. 14 You have learned many things about the sun, earth, and moon. In the space below draw a diagram to represent how the sun, earth, and moon appear in the solar system. Your diagram should include labels. Use arrows to represent the movement that the earth and moon make.
Earth, Sun, and Moon The Sun and Moon are Earth’s constant companions. We bask in the Sun’s heat and light. It provides Earth’s energy, and life could not exist without it. We rely on the Moon to light dark nights. Earth’s closest neighbor, the Moon, is
