Earth's Rotation and Revolution
2
Earth is Always Moving
Rotates: It Spins on an Axis (an imaginary tilted line that starts at the north pole, goes through Earth's center, ends at the south pole)
Revolves: It Orbits Around the Sun (takes a circular path around center of the solar system)
3
Multiple Choice
What is the imaginary line that starts at the north pole, goes through the center of Earth and exits through the south pole?
axis
orbit
rotate
revolve
4
Multiple Choice
What is the circular path of Earth around the sun called?
axis
orbit
rotate
revolve
5
Earth's Rotation
Means: spins on an axis
Takes: 24 hours, 1 day
Causes: Day and Night
6
Multiple Choice
Earth's spin on its invisible axis is called its
rotation
revolution
7
Multiple Select
How long does it take for Earth to complete one rotation? Select all that are correct.
1 day
3 days
12 hours
24 hours
8
Multiple Choice
The rotation of Earth on its tilted axis causes
day and night
seasons
9
Day and Night
As Earth rotates, different parts of it face the sun.
Side facing sun - Daytime
Side facing away from sun - Nighttime
10
Multiple Choice
As Earth spins on its tilted axis, the part of the Earth that faces the sun has
daytime
nighttime
11
Multiple Choice
As Earth spins on its tilted axis, the part that faces away from the sun has
daytime
nighttime
12
Earth's Revolution
Means: Orbits (circular motion) around an object (sun)
Takes: 365 1/4 Days, 1 Year
Causes: Seasons - Winter, Spring, Summer, Fall/Autumn
13
Multiple Choice
Earth's orbit (circular motion) around an object (the sun) is called its
rotation
revolution
14
Multiple Select
How long does it take for Earth to make one orbit around the sun? Choose all that apply.
1 day
365 1/4 days
24 hours
1 year
15
Multiple Choice
The revolution of Earth around the sun causes
day and night
seasons
16
Seasons
Tilted Axis + Orbit Around Sun = Seasons
Tilt of axis never changes, always points in the same direction
Areas tilted toward the sun get more sunlight and heat (summer)
Areas tilted away from the sun get less sunlight and heat (winter)
17
Multiple Select
What two things contribute to which season happens where? Choose all that apply.
tilt of Earth
orbit of Earth around the Sun
the speed of Earth's spin
Earth's magnetic field
18
Multiple Choice
The part of Earth that is tilted toward the sun will have
summer
winter
19
Multiple Choice
The part of Earth that is tilted away from the sun will have
summer
winter
