2 The effects of Earths Revolution. Revolution is the movement of the Earth in its own orbit around the sun. This means that the earth rotates on its own axis while moving in its orbit around the sun. One complete revolution takes 3651/4 days in ayear or 366 days every four years in aleap year. The revolution of the earth causes the following: i) The four seasons: Spring‚ summer‚ autumn and Winter. The revolution of the sun causes seasons because it changes the apparent p[ossotion of the overhead

Opposing to the special that we just aired‚ "What Happened on the Moon-- Hoax‚ Lies‚ and Videotape‚" America did land men on the moon. Many people are saying that it was staged; they are saying that the shadows are not correct. Here’s where they’re wrong: there are two light sources on the moon‚ the Sun and the Earth. On the moon‚ the Earth would appear as almost "full" and would reflect more light onto the moon than a full moon would onto Earth.

whether you’re watching the news or looking at the moon. Changes in weather‚ water height‚ and even the light from the moon can dramatically change daily life. Lunar phases aren’t actually caused by the moon changing shape. It’s caused by the moon changing position. As Earth rotates around the sun‚ it casts shadows on the moon‚ creating the eight different moon phases. A tide is the rising and falling of sea levels. The tide varies based on the moon waning or waxing. The higher tides are called

been eclipses of the sun and moon. These celestial events struck fear into ancient man. They did not realize that all it is was the shadow of the earth or moon being cast on something. The following essay discusses the difference between the two. A solar eclipse can occur at least two and no more than five times a year. Unlike Solar eclipses‚ lunar eclipses can only occur during a full moon and when the moon is on the ecliptic plane. Only during full moon‚ the Sun’s light will be blocked

(or Moon phase) refers to the appearance of the illuminated portion of the Moon as seen by an observer‚ usually on Earth. The lunar phases vary cyclically as the Moon orbits the Earth‚ according to the changing relative positions of the Earth‚ Moon‚ and Sun. One half of the lunar surface is always illuminated by the Sun (except during lunar eclipses)‚ and is hence bright‚ but the portion of the illuminated hemisphere that is visible to an observer can vary from 100% (full moon) to 0% (new moon).

Gizmo Warm-up If you see a two-dimensional image of the Earth‚ Moon‚ and Sun‚ you might predict that an eclipse occurs every time the Moon passes in front of or behind Earth‚ or about twice a month. However‚ eclipses occur much more rarely. The 3D Eclipse Gizmo™ shows two views of the Earth‚ Moon‚ and Sun: a top view (above) and a side view (below). The sizes of the Earth‚ Moon‚ and Sun are not to scale. (If they were‚ the Earth and Moon would be microscopic!) 1. Set the speed slider to a middle
