# Sun-Earth-Moon Study Guide **Rotation and Revolution** * **Rotation:** * What is rotation? How long does this process take for Earth? * Earth spins on its axis. * The process takes 24 hours. (goes counter-clockwise) * **Revolution:** * What is revolution? How long does this process take for Earth? * Earth travels around the sun. * The process takes 365 days. **Moon Phases** * **Labeling Moon Phases:** Label all moon phases (including waxing and waning) on a moon phases diagram. * **Missing Phases:** Label the missing moon phases. * **Perspective:** Draw what the moon would look like from Earth's perspective for each of the following phases (shade in the dark area that cannot be seen). **Lunar and Solar Eclipses** * **3b:** Place a star by the phase where the lunar eclipse happens and a heart by the phase where the solar eclipse happens on the diagram. **Seasons** * **Identifying Seasons:** Label the seasons on the diagram. * Northern Hemisphere: Summer * Southern Hemisphere: Winter **Diagram Description:** The diagram depicts the Earth orbiting the sun, with the moon orbiting the Earth. It shows the different phases of the moon as it orbits the Earth, including waxing crescent, first quarter, waxing gibbous, full moon, waning gibbous, third quarter, and waning crescent. The diagram also shows the positioning of the Earth and moon during both a lunar and a solar eclipse. Different parts of the moon are shaded to indicate the portion illuminated by the sun.
