Rotation And Revolution Flashcards
Axis
The axis is an imaginary line in the middle of the earth tilted at 23 degrees
Rotation
Cause the earth to have day and night
Revolution
It is a full trip around the sun 365.25 and during revolution is different seasons. When the earth is facing towards the sun it is summer, not facing the sun winter,almost facing the sun spring,and when almost not facing the sun it is fall. The temps go down when it is winter and up in summer and in the middle in spring and fall. The angle of sunlight depends on where we are close to the earth if close we get a lot and if it is not close it will be at a angle.
Daytime
The sun hitting the part of the earth ( which is daytime)
Nighttime
When the sun is not hitting the sun ( because of the earth rotating)
Day
The earth rotating on its axis (make a full rotation in 24hours
Year
Making a full trip around the sun 365.25 days
24 hours
The earth making a full rotation causing day and night
365.25 day
Is a full trip around the sun ( revolution)
Tilt
The earth axis tilting either to the sun or to the darkness tilted at 23 degrees
Equator
A imaginary line going throw the earth like the axis . It is the hottest when you are on the equator
Season’s
The earth’s angle facing the sun during the year. The summer is when the axis is facing in and winter when it is facing out. The spring is almost fully facing the sun but not yet and the fall is the part of earth almost facing away from the sun.
Angle of sunlight
This is the changes as the earth revolves/ more direct , the closer to summer the more spread out closer to winter.
In other words
When the angle of sun light is closer it is summer and when the sun light is more at a angle it is winter and the other two are in the middle
Orbit
The path the earth follows around the sun during 1year time
Temp
When it is summer it is warm, when it is winter it is cooler, and spring and fall it is okay weather.
