The earth orbits the sun and the moon orbits the earth. According to Bill Nye, the earth spins on an axis. Sometimes the northern hemisphere is tilted towards the sun, sometimes the southern hemisphere is tilted towards the sun. Because of this tilt, we have seasons.]]> 2017-05-23 16:43:38 UTC https://padlet.com/indiasnow2023/astronomyWOW/wish/173442176 The Moon indiasnow2023 https://padlet.com/indiasnow2023/astronomyWOW/wish/173442194 The moon provides the Earth with light during the nighttime. According to Live Science, the moon gets it's light from the reflection of light from the sun.
It is involved in the making of our tides. Because of the moon's gravity, our tides are high and low.]]> 2017-05-23 16:43:43 UTC https://padlet.com/indiasnow2023/astronomyWOW/wish/173442194 Tides #1 indiasnow2023 https://padlet.com/indiasnow2023/astronomyWOW/wish/173442365 Tides are the movements in ocean waters that change the level of water. These are caused by the moon's gravity pulling at earth. Tides change in 6 hour intervals; two high tides and two low tides.]]> 2017-05-23 16:44:23 UTC https://padlet.com/indiasnow2023/astronomyWOW/wish/173442365 Tides #2 indiasnow2023 https://padlet.com/indiasnow2023/astronomyWOW/wish/173444732 There are two general types of tides: spring tides and neap tides.
Spring tides happen when the sun and moon are aligned during a new moon or full moon. This results in very strong gravitational forces, so the tides are extremely high and low. According to NOAA, "[a spring tide] refers to the "springing forth" of the tide and not the season.]]> 2017-05-23 16:54:09 UTC https://padlet.com/indiasnow2023/astronomyWOW/wish/173444732 Tides #3 indiasnow2023 https://padlet.com/indiasnow2023/astronomyWOW/wish/173445451 Neap tides are always 7 days after spring tides and happen when the sun and moon are NOT aligned. The gravitational forces cancel each other out and the tides are not as dramatic as spring tides.]]> 2017-05-23 16:56:58 UTC https://padlet.com/indiasnow2023/astronomyWOW/wish/173445451 Lunar Phases indiasnow2023 https://padlet.com/indiasnow2023/astronomyWOW/wish/173486714 The lunar phases are the appearances that the moon takes on every month. From New Moon to New Moon, there are 8 total.
For each phase, the moon is in a different position relative to the sun and earth. The moon orbits the earth, and the earth orbits the sun. According to Moonconnection.com During a new moon, the moon is between the earth and the sun. So, during a full moon, the moon is between mars and earth.]]> 2017-05-23 19:57:21 UTC https://padlet.com/indiasnow2023/astronomyWOW/wish/173486714 The Sun indiasnow2023 https://padlet.com/indiasnow2023/astronomyWOW/wish/173494607 The sun is a star that gives heat and light to all the planets. It is in the center of our solar system and has all the planets orbiting itself. The sun plays a part in spring tides and neap tides; it's gravitational pull causing dramatic tides and undramatic tides.]]> 2017-05-23 20:53:42 UTC https://padlet.com/indiasnow2023/astronomyWOW/wish/173494607 Eclipses #1 indiasnow2023 https://padlet.com/indiasnow2023/astronomyWOW/wish/173495176 An eclipse happens when one celestial body fulls on another. There are four types of eclipses: lunar eclipses, solar eclipses, partial eclipses, and annular eclipses. They are similar in ways but they are different in many.]]> 2017-05-23 20:58:14 UTC https://padlet.com/indiasnow2023/astronomyWOW/wish/173495176 Eclipses #2 indiasnow2023 https://padlet.com/indiasnow2023/astronomyWOW/wish/173502465 A lunar eclipse happens when the moon passes through a portion or all of the earth's shadow. Lunar eclipses can ONLY happen during a full moon. When the moon passes through the eath's shadow, the earth's shadow is blocking the sun's light from reaching the earth so the moon does not appear. Most times, the moon will appear red-orangish. According to Mreclipse.com, a lunar eclipse appears red-orangish because earth's atmosphere bends the sun's light and refracts some of it towards the moon to illuminate it.]]> 2017-05-23 22:12:17 UTC https://padlet.com/indiasnow2023/astronomyWOW/wish/173502465 indiasnow2023 https://padlet.com/indiasnow2023/astronomyWOW/wish/173514307 2017-05-24 00:21:54 UTC https://padlet.com/indiasnow2023/astronomyWOW/wish/173514307 Eclipses #3 indiasnow2023 https://padlet.com/indiasnow2023/astronomyWOW/wish/173514397 A solar eclipse happens when the moon gets in the way of the sun's light so that the light cannot reach earth. According to Mreclipse.com it's shadow is cast upon earth causing it to get dark in the middle of the day. ]]> 2017-05-24 00:22:47 UTC https://padlet.com/indiasnow2023/astronomyWOW/wish/173514397 indiasnow2023 https://padlet.com/indiasnow2023/astronomyWOW/wish/173515089 2017-05-24 00:28:57 UTC https://padlet.com/indiasnow2023/astronomyWOW/wish/173515089 Eclipses #4 indiasnow2023 https://padlet.com/indiasnow2023/astronomyWOW/wish/173515137 A partial eclipse is a solar eclipse but the moon doesn't fully cover the sun's light. According to TimeandDate.com, partial eclipses happen 2-5 times a year somewhere on earth.]]> 2017-05-24 00:29:16 UTC https://padlet.com/indiasnow2023/astronomyWOW/wish/173515137 indiasnow2023 https://padlet.com/indiasnow2023/astronomyWOW/wish/173515419 2017-05-24 00:31:34 UTC https://padlet.com/indiasnow2023/astronomyWOW/wish/173515419 Eclipses #5 indiasnow2023 https://padlet.com/indiasnow2023/astronomyWOW/wish/173515459 According to TImeandDate.com an annular eclipse (also known as "Ring of Fire") happens when the moon is farthest away from the earth and covers the center of the sun, but not the entire star. This leaves a ring around the moon, making it look like, well, a ring of fire.]]> 2017-05-24 00:31:51 UTC https://padlet.com/indiasnow2023/astronomyWOW/wish/173515459 indiasnow2023 https://padlet.com/indiasnow2023/astronomyWOW/wish/173515949 2017-05-24 00:36:09 UTC https://padlet.com/indiasnow2023/astronomyWOW/wish/173515949 Seasons #1 indiasnow2023 https://padlet.com/indiasnow2023/astronomyWOW/wish/173516132 The seasons are caused by earth's tilt on it's axis. According to California Academy of Sciences, during November - Mid-March, it's winter. This is because the northern hemisphere is tilted away from the sun.]]> 2017-05-24 00:37:36 UTC https://padlet.com/indiasnow2023/astronomyWOW/wish/173516132 Seasons #2 indiasnow2023 https://padlet.com/indiasnow2023/astronomyWOW/wish/173521609 According to Primary Homework Help, when the north pole is neither pointing to or away from the sun, it's spring. Because neither side is closer to the sun, no side has more or less sunlight.]]> 2017-05-24 01:20:53 UTC https://padlet.com/indiasnow2023/astronomyWOW/wish/173521609 Seasons #3 indiasnow2023 https://padlet.com/indiasnow2023/astronomyWOW/wish/173521943 During Mid-June - Early October, summer is in action. This is when the northern hemisphere is tilted towards the sun so we are receiving more sunlight.]]> 2017-05-24 01:22:47 UTC https://padlet.com/indiasnow2023/astronomyWOW/wish/173521943 Gravity #1 indiasnow2023 https://padlet.com/indiasnow2023/astronomyWOW/wish/173725042 Gravity is very important. It keeps the moon in orbit, and it keeps us in orbit around the sun. Without it, we would float into space and never be able to come back to earth. According to The SciShow, "The astronauts are not weightless, they are falling." This doesn't make sense because they are safe. The reason for this is that the astronauts are falling at the speed of gravity WHILE moving horizontally. They are moving continuously enough to miss the earth. Instead of falling TO earth, they are falling AROUND earth.]]> 2017-05-24 22:16:35 UTC https://padlet.com/indiasnow2023/astronomyWOW/wish/173725042 Gravity #2 indiasnow2023 https://padlet.com/indiasnow2023/astronomyWOW/wish/173728510 According to Wonderopolis.com there is gravity pushing on earth all the time. This gravity is what makes earth round! The moon has a gravitational pull and it pushes on earth. The sun has gravity and it pushes on earth too. In fact, the sun's gravity pushes on every planet because it is so strong. Because the distance between two objects can never be zero, everything in the universe is always attracting other things. Without gravity, we would all float off into never ending space and die a very painful death. :)]]> 2017-05-24 23:07:19 UTC https://padlet.com/indiasnow2023/astronomyWOW/wish/173728510 Resources indiasnow2023 https://padlet.com/indiasnow2023/astronomyWOW/wish/173861146
