What is rotation?

• The time it takes for an object to spin once on its axis

• The time it takes for an object to move around another object

• The cycle of changes in the Moon’s appearance

• The imaginary line that Earth rotates around

What is an axis?

• A tool used to observe objects in space

• The imaginary line that Earth rotates around

• A group of stars forming a recognizable pattern

• The time it takes for an object to spin once on its axis

What is a constellation?

• A natural satellite that orbits Earth

• A group of stars that forms a recognizable pattern

• The Sun at the center of our solar system

• A telescope used for space observation

What is a telescope used for?

• Observing distant objects in space

• Tracking Earth's orbit around the Sun

• Changing the appearance of the Moon

• Measuring Earth's seasons

What are the phases of the Moon?

• The path the Moon follows around Earth

• The cycle of changes in the Moon’s appearance due to sunlight reflection

• The way the Moon moves closer and farther from Earth

• The reason for Earth's seasons
