Name: Date: Period: 1. are natural or artificial bodies that revolve around more massive bodies such as planets. (Satellites or Comets) 2. Most lunar craters are the result of . (volcanoes or impacts) 3. The time it takes for Earth to around the sun is 1 year.
The illusion is based off of the moon’s size and the objects and landscapes connected with it. When away from objects the moon then has even more of an illusion to you than normal because it has a problem with consistency of

What observations did Galileo make that proved that planets go around the sun? Galileo didn't necessarily prove it but ruled out the geocentric model; that everything revolved around the earth. He did this by observing Jupiter's moons and found that they orbited Jupiter and not the Earth. g. What laws tell us how the planets move around the star? (1) The orbit of each planet is an ellipse with the Sun at one focus.
Comet tails are made up of simple ionized molecules, including carbon monoxide and dioxide. By action of solar wind, molecules are blown away, forming a thin stream of hot gases continuously ejected from the solar corona. In case you do not know the meaning of a solar corona, it is the outermost atmosphere of the Sun. Amazingly, the thin streams of high gases move at a speed of approximately 400 kilometers (250 miles) per second (as cited in Yeomans 1991 p. 185). In addition, a comet frequently also displays smaller, curved tails composed of fine dust particles blown from the coma by the pressure of solar
o B. Discover images and characteristics related to the Barringer Crater in Arizona: How large was the meteorite, how large is the crater, when did the impact occur, and how fast was the meteorite moving when it hit Earth’s surface. o C. Find at least three large craters on Earth that illustrate the potential magnitude of kinetic energy that is possible at impact. List where the location of the impact, the size of the meteorite, and when the impact occurred. Introduction One look at the surface of the Moon should convince you that "empty space" is not so empty after all.
Physical size = angular size x 2 x distance / 360 • Understand that constellations are groups of stars as seen from the Earth – the stars may not be close to each other at all • Our view of the celestial sphere is determined by where we stand on the Earth o Study the diagrams that show the path of stars as they rise and set and how those paths appear to differ depending on your location on the Earth • Know what causes the seasons (tilt of the Earth’s axis to it’s orbital plane) o Depend on how Earth’s axis affects the directness of sunlight o Sun’s altitude is also higher in Summer and Lower in Winter Summer solstice – highest path Winter solstice – lowest path Equinoxes – sun rises at exactly due east and sets exactly due west • Review the Moon’s phases • New Moon • Waxing (Right side of moon visible) o Waxing
The four largest of these were seen by Galileo when he made one of the first telescopes. The way they moved round the planet convinced him that the old idea, that everything moves round the Earth, must be wrong. The following was kindly contributed by Russell Odell The sun contains 99.9 percent of the mass in the solar system. The remaining 0.1 percent make up the other planets and their moons, and Jupiter took most of that mass. If Jupiter were a shell, all the other planets and their moons could fit inside with room to spare.
(2 points) Mars. B) Cosmic Origin of the Element CLUE: The substance collected has properties indicating that it contains a few different elements. The elements in your sample were formed in a supernova and released into space when the star exploded. Small stars and cosmic rays are not hot enough to form them. Look at the chart below to see which elements are typically formed in supernova and which ones are not.
bfly_recent.gifFrom the research, sunspots do not appear at random over the surface of the sun but are concentrated in two latitude bands on either side of the equator. The sunspots are greatly related to our climate. While the solar cycle has been nearly regular during the last 300 years, there was a period of 70 years during the 17th and 18th centuries when very few sunspots were seen (even though telescopes were widely used). This drop in sunspot number coincided with the timing of the little ice age in Europe, implying a Sun- to-climate connection. limb_flare_sm.jpg (5710 bytes)Solar flares are tremendous explosions on the surface of the Sun.
