    Study Notes

    Patterns in the Sky

    • Stories, analogies, and historical records preserve knowledge about stars and planets, aiding observation.
    • Earth rotates on its axis (once daily) and orbits the Sun (once yearly).
    • Earth's axis points towards the North Star, making it fixed in the night sky.

    Daylight Hours

    • Sun and Moon rise in the east, cross the sky to west, and set in the west.
    • Stars in the Northern Hemisphere move counterclockwise around the North Star due to Earth's counterclockwise rotation.
    • Daylight hours and Sun's elevation change cyclically and predictably.
    • Earth's tilted axis (pointing towards Polaris) affects daylight and Sun's height.

    Light Intensity and Tilt

    • Sun's elevation variation causes varying light intensity on Earth.
    • Higher solar elevation gives more direct sunlight, greater energy, and higher temps.
    • Lower solar elevations spread sunlight, less energy, and lower temps.
    • Sunlight is direct in one hemisphere while angled in the other.

    The Moon

    • The Moon is half-illuminated by sunlight at all times.
    • The Moon's visible shape changes due to its position relative to Earth and Sun.

    Eclipses

    • Solar eclipse: Moon passes between the Sun and Earth, casting a shadow.
    • Lunar eclipse: Earth is between the Sun and Moon, casting a shadow on the Moon.
    • Moon's orbit isn't perfectly aligned with Earth's, leading to infrequent eclipses.
    • A full Moon occurs during a lunar eclipse, where the moon appears reddish.

    Gravity

    • Gravity is an attractive force affected by mass and distance
    • The more massive the object, the stronger its gravitational force.
    • The farther apart two objects, the weaker their gravitational pull.
    • All matter with mass has gravity.

    Vocabulary

    • Solar: Energy from the Sun.
    • Rotation: Earth spinning on its axis.
    • Revolution: Movement of an object around another object (e.g., Earth around the Sun).
    • Solar Eclipse: Moon blocks sunlight from Earth.
    • Lunar Eclipse: Earth blocks sunlight from reaching the Moon.
    • Year: Time for Earth to orbit the Sun.
    • Day: Time for Earth to rotate once on its axis.
    • Pattern: Repeated events.
    • Axis: Imaginary line through Earth's center.
    • Solar Elevation: The angle of the Sun above the horizon.
    • New Moon: Moon's unlit side faces Earth.
    • Full Moon: Moon's entire lit side faces Earth.
    • Leap Year: Year with an extra day.
    • Polaris: North Star.
    • Gravity: Attractive force.
