Earth & Space

In a lunar eclipse:

• the Earth is aligned between the moon and the sun.

• the moon is aligned between the Earth and Mars.

• the sun is aligned between the Earth and the moon.

• the moon is aligned between the sun and Earth.

The phases of the moon are:

• changes in the apparent shape of the moon when viewed from Earth.

• changes in the real size of the moon when viewed from Earth.

• showing night and day on the moon.

The seasons are different because different amounts of radiant energy from the sun full on Earth. The main cause of the difference in energy is:

• the tilting of the Earth's axis.

• the tilting of the Earth's axis and the location of the Earth in relation to the sun.

• the tilting of the moon's axis.

• the tilting of the Earth's axis and the location of the Earth in relation to the moon.

Night and day are caused by:

• the spinning of the sun and the location of the Earth.

• the spinning of the Earth and the location of the sun.

• the location of the moon relative to Earth.

• the spinning of the Earth.

The tilt of the Earth is more noticeable:

• at the Equator.

• in Antarctica.

• in Poland.

• in the tropics.

If the southern hemisphere is angled away from the sun and the sun shines its lowest in our skies, what does this mean?

• It is winter.

• It is autumn.

• It is spring.

• It is summer.

What causes tidal movements on Earth?

• The gravity of the water is constantly changing.

• The Moon's gravitational pull causes oceans to move away from it.

• The Earth's gravitational pull causes oceans to bulge out toward the Moon.

• The Moon's gravitational pull causes oceans to bulge out towards it.

What causes high tides?

• When the Sun, Moon and Earth align to combine a pull of Sun and Moon.

• Underwater currents displace water from one area to another.

• Gravity increases from the Moon, getting stronger at different times of the day.

What are the parts of Apollo 11?

• Engine, command, moon lander.

• Command module, lunar module, service module.

• Lunar base, engine base, living base.

• Engine module, command module, service module.

Smaller tides that occur when the Sun is at right angles to the Moon is called:

• inertia

• neap tide

• tide

• spring tide
