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.
