Earth Science Final Regents Review Overview

This video is part two of the Earth Science final review series, focusing on astronomy. It covers the universe's age, the Big Bang Theory, and evidence supporting it. The video explains star life cycles, nuclear fusion, and the solar system's geocentric and heliocentric models. Kepler's laws and Earth's movements are discussed, along with the reasons for seasons and celestial diagrams. The video concludes with an explanation of the moon's phases, tides, and eclipses.
