SOL Review

Salem Middle School

•Tilt=23.5 degrees (reason for the seasons)

•Hemisphere tilted toward the sun has summer

•Area around the equator get most of the direct
sunlight

•3rdplanet from the sun (inner, rocky planet)

•Orbit around sun (revolution) is elliptical—365.25
day revolution causes yearly cycle and seasons—
seasonal constellations and parallax proves this

•One rotation=24 hours—causes day and night—
Coriolis Effect and Foucault pendulum proves this

•Earth’s magnetic field is caused by convection
currents deep inside Earth

•Water exists in all three states!!!!

The amount of solar energy
reaching the Earth’s surface is
dependent on the angle of the sun’s
rays.

Becomes more extreme closer to
the poles. “Lower insolation. Same
energy is spread over a larger area
= lower energy/area.

Hubble Tuning
Fork Diagram.

Edwin Hubble determined that further
galaxies were more red shifted
(moving away faster than) closer
galaxies. We are able to use Hubble’s
Law to determine the distance to
galaxies based on their red shift
properties.
