Eart/Sun/Moon

Tilt

• The movement of one object around a center or another object.

• The slant of Earth’s axis, which is 23.5 degrees from vertical compared to Earth’s orbital plane around the Sun; results in the North Pole always pointing towards the North star.

• The spinning of the Earth on its axis that causes day and night to occur 

• The four natural divisions of the year based on changes in temperature due to varying amounts of sunlight received ( both intensity and number of daylight)

Axis

• Half of a sphere; Earth and the celestial sphere can be divided into northern and southern or eastern and western hemispheres.

• In the shortest unbroken line; temperatures are higher where the Sun’s rays are direct

• Angled or spread out; temperatures are lower where the Sun’s rays are indirect.

• The imaginary line through Earth that extends from the north pole to the south pole and is the center of Earth’s rotation

Hemisphere

• The imaginary line through Earth that extends from the north pole to the south pole and is the center of Earth’s rotation

• A curved path followed by a satellite as it revolves around an object.

• Half of a sphere; Earth and the celestial sphere can be divided into northern and southern or eastern and western hemispheres.

• The movement of one object around a center or another object.
