Axis

imaginary line that passes through Earth's center and the North and South poles

​Gravity

A force that pulls objects toward each other

​Obrit

The path an object follows as it moves around another object

​Revolve/Revolution

​

To go around something in a circle;

To turn around in a circle

Earth revolves around the sun because the sun's gravity pulls on it;

One revolution of Earth around the sun is one year

​Rotate

​

the spinning of Earth on its axis; 

causes day and night; Earth rotates eastward (from west to east); 

takes about 24 hrs to rotate once.

​Equinox

The two days of the year on which neither hemisphere is tilted toward or away from the sun

​Solstice

​

The day when the sun appears farthest north of the equator is 

the summer solstice in the Northern Hemisphere and the winter solstice in the Southern Hemisphere;

​Seasons

​

Seasons are caused by the Earth's axis is tilted as it revolves around the sun; 

Places far from equator and poles have 4 seasons: winter , spring, summer, fall

​Neap Tide

​A less than average tide occurring at the first and third quarters of the moon.

​Spring Tide

​When the tidal range is greatest. (full moon and new moon).

​Ocean Tide

The rise and fall of the ocean caused by the gravitational force of the moon and sun ​
