Review of Earth and Moon Patterns

Front

What factors affect the speed of falling objects?

Back

The speed of falling objects depends on their surface area and air resistance.

Front

How does Earth's gravity work?

Back

Earth's gravity pulls objects toward the center of Earth.

Front

What causes the apparent motion of the Sun in the sky?

Back

The motion of the Sun in the sky is caused by the motion of the Earth.

Front

What keeps the planets in orbit around the Sun?

Back

Gravity keeps the planets in orbit around the Sun.

Front

Why can astronauts jump and float on the Moon?

Back

Astronauts can jump and float on the Moon because the Moon has less mass and therefore less gravity.

Front

What is gravity?

Back

Gravity is a force that attracts two objects toward each other, depending on their masses.

Front

What is the relationship between mass and gravity?

Back

The greater the mass of an object, the stronger its gravitational pull.

Front

How does air resistance affect falling objects?

Back

Air resistance slows down the speed of falling objects, especially those with larger surface areas.

Front

What is the role of the Earth's axis in its motion?

Back

The Earth's axis is tilted, which affects the way we perceive the Sun's movement in the sky.

Front

What happens to gravity as you move further from Earth?

Back

Gravity decreases as you move further away from Earth.
