Part 1-Moon, Tides, Rotation(day/Night), Seasons(Revolution)

Front

What is the Moon?

Back

The Moon is Earth's only natural satellite, orbiting around the Earth and affecting tides.

Front

What causes tides on Earth?

Back

Tides are caused by the gravitational pull of the Moon and the Sun on Earth's oceans.

Front

How does the tilt of the Earth's axis affect seasons?

Back

The tilt of the Earth's axis (about 23.5 degrees) causes different parts of the Earth to receive varying amounts of sunlight throughout the year, leading to seasons.

Front

What is the difference between day and night?

Back

Day occurs when a part of the Earth is facing the Sun, while night occurs when it is turned away from the Sun.
