the revolution of the Moon around the Earth makes the Moon look as if it is changing COLOR in the sky. 

the revolution of the Moon around the Earth makes the Moon look as if it is changing SHAPE in the sky. 

HOW MUCH OF THE MOON WE SEE DEPENDS ON WHERE THE MOON IS IN ITS ORBIT:

What do we call moon different shapes?

Moon completes its one revolution around the Earth in ____ days

When the Moon is in between earth and Sun, it is most likely what phase?

How many days it take from full moon to new moon?

On May 1st 2001, there was a full moon. When the Moon orbited the Earth again, there was another full moon. Tell on which date again a full moon will appear

The universe contains over ______ galaxies.

A ______ is a group of billions of stars.

Our own galaxy is called the _______, and it contains about 300 billion stars

out of 300 billion stars

(300,000,000,000) in our milky way, one of these is our _____.

Planets and other objects go round the____, and these make up the solar system, with the ____ at the centre.

Scientists have discovered other objects orbiting the Sun. These include ______

Pluto and Eris are called _____

______ used to be considered the ninth planet in our solar system. But in ______ scientists renamed it as a dwarf planet. So now we have 8 planets in the solar system.

The farthest planet from the sun

the biggest planet

Time Earth takes to rotate on its axis

the planet that has the highest number of moons

How many moon does Earth has

Q. Look at the table and answer the following questions

1. Name the planet which is almost the same size as Earth.

Q. Look at the table and answer the following questions

Which is the largest planet?

the curved path of a celestial object or spacecraft around a star, planet, or moon.

All objects are attracted towards each other by a force called _______.

_____ only becomes noticeable when there is a really massive object like a star, planet or moon. 

It is the forces between the Sun and planets keep the planets in orbit around the Sun. Without these forces, the planets would fly off into deep space.

Their orbits are slightly squashed circles called ______

The planets farthest out are also the coldest because they receive the least heat energy from the Sun.

The Earth is round, like a ball, but it is also slightly squashed. We say that its shape is roughly ______.

The Earth travels around the Sun once every year.

The Earth also spins on its own ____. The ______is an imaginary line through the centre of the Earth from the North Pole to the South Pole.

The planets ____ as they orbit the Sun. It takes the Earth to make one complete turn on its axis, so an Earth day is _____ long.

Different planets take different amounts of time to make one complete turn, so they have different lengths of day.

The process of rotating on its axis 

The Sun lights up one half of the Earth, and the other half is in shadow. As the Earth spins we move from shadow to light and back to shadow and so on. It is daytime in the UK when our part of the planet is in the lit by the Sun. And it is night-time in the UK when our part of the planet is facing away from the Sun.

The Sun lights up one 3/4 of the Earth, and the other 1/2 is in shadow. As the Earth spins we move from shadow to light and back to shadow and so on. It is night-time in the UK when our part of the planet is in the lit by the Sun. And it is daytime in the UK when our part of the planet is facing away from the Sun.

Path of the Sun:

During the day, the Sun appears to move through the sky. Remember that this happens because the Earth is spinning on its axis. In the UK if we look south and follow the path of Sun in the sky during the day, it looks like this:

The sun rises in the east and sets in the west

The Sun appears to move from east to west. That's because the Earth is spinning towards the east, so we see the Sun first appear there at the start of the day. The Sun 'rises' in the east and 'sets' in the west.

The Sun appears to move from west to east. That's because the Earth is spinning towards the west, so we see the Sun first appear there at the start of the day. The Sun 'rises' in the west and 'sets' in the east.

The action by a celestial body of going round in an orbit. The time taken by a celestial body to make a complete round in its orbit

One way to remember which way the Earth turns is to remember "w.e. spin", which means the Earth spins from _______.

Star trails made by leaving the camera shutter open during the ____

During the ____, we cannot see the Sun. But the Earth is still spinning on its axis. This means that the stars appear to move from east to west in the sky, just as the Sun does in the day.

When an opaque object blocks light, a _____ is  formed

Objects on Earth cast shadows that show Earth's rotation. The angle of the Sun, low in the sky to higher in the sky, changes the length of the shadow cast behind an object.

In the morning, the Sun appears low in the sky; objects cast long shadows.

the moon orbits the Earth as the Earth orbits the sun

Select all statements that are correct.

The Moon orbits the Earth, so it is called a ______ of Earth. The Moon is a natural _______. No-one built it or launched it into space.

Gravitational forces between the Moon and the Earth keep the Moon in orbit. The Moon does not produce light. But it does reflect light from the Sun, which is how we are able to see it from Earth. (Only stars produce light and they are called luminous for that reason.)

It takes the Moon 28 days to make a complete orbit of the Earth. As it orbits, we see the Moon lit from different angles. This is why we see ______of the Moon.

We can only see the part of the Moon that reflects the Sun's light. How much of that we can see depends upon the position of the Moon in its orbit.

A common mistake is to think that the phases of the Moon happen because the Earth gets in the way, and casts its shadow onto the Moon. That is not how the phases are caused.

However sometimes it does happen that the Earth's shadow falls on the Moon. Then we get an _______ of the Moon. The whole Moon goes from full, to dark, and back again to full, in the course of a few hours.

What two planets are in between the Sun and Earth

The two planets which are most similar in size are

In what order are planets arranged?

Earth rotation/revolution on its axis causes day and night

The Portuguese explorer ________ famously circumnavigated the Earth from 1519 to 1522, which would have been even more difficult if it had had an edge.
