Well, when the earth orbits around the sun, it's position changes throughout the year. More direct sunlight means more energy, and that means it gets warmer. ]]> 2019-03-12 16:34:48 UTC https://padlet.com/tfarleyv13/esujunrqm3vl/wish/340511269 Maggi#19 Did you know that in the sky it might look peaceful but actually hurtling through at incredible speeds, sometimes at thousands and thousands miles per hour. Also, whenit is summer in North America the sun is sending light that is more direct to the northern hemisphere because the northern hemisphere is tilted toward the sun. Then, the Earth moves around the sun in an elliptical orbit( that means that it is not perfectly circular and is more like an oval.) And what is also means is that in some parts of the year we are actually closer to the sun by just a few million miles and we are close enough in fact to have some big climate changes during those parts of the year. did you know the farther north or south you live the cooler the temperatures are going to be all year long. If you put a flashlight up to an orange than it depends on where you are standing to be able to see something. https://padlet.com/tfarleyv13/esujunrqm3vl/wish/340511273 2019-03-12 16:34:48 UTC https://padlet.com/tfarleyv13/esujunrqm3vl/wish/340511273 Caleb#16 https://padlet.com/tfarleyv13/esujunrqm3vl/wish/340511435 Have you seen the movie wall-e Maybe you remember that movie was based on the planet earth

Why are there seasons on the  earth? Well, when the earth orbits around the sun, its position changes around the year. The earth is at an angle of the sun, sunlight hits us at different angles]]> 2019-03-12 16:35:01 UTC https://padlet.com/tfarleyv13/esujunrqm3vl/wish/340511435 Gabbie#21 https://padlet.com/tfarleyv13/esujunrqm3vl/wish/340512864 Did you know, when you are looking up at the sky and you see the still-moving stars, they are actually moving at an incredably fast speed (thousands and thousands of miles per hour)!
The farther north or south you go,  the cooler the tempretures are going to be all year round.
When the Earth orbits around the sun, its positions change throughout the year. Earth is at an angle to the sun, tilted about 23 degrees.

(The whole life thing is besides the point of this text.) If you think it's all silent and still up there, you're wrong! There are all kinds of stuff moving around up there. And at high speeds, too! There's stillness to the stars, but there are all kinds of stuff like meteors (space rocks), metal scrap from satellites and millions of planets in millions of different galaxies. (There is more to the universe than you think, THERE ARE SO MANY GALAXIES!) Now join the journey to the knowledge of space! https://padlet.com/tfarleyv13/esujunrqm3vl/wish/340515484 2019-03-12 16:42:30 UTC https://padlet.com/tfarleyv13/esujunrqm3vl/wish/340515484 waylon#15 https://padlet.com/tfarleyv13/esujunrqm3vl/wish/340516992 When do we have seasons?
During that time, it's summmer in the southern hemisphere. When it's winter in the northern hemisphere, the southern hemisphere is getting more direct sunlight and more warmth. The earth is at an angle to the sun,  tilted about 23 degrees.

Our Earth?
The earth moves around the sun in an elliptical orbit. What it also means is that, in some parts of the year, we are actually closer to the by a few million miles. Were closer enough, in fact, to have some big climate changes during those parts of the year.

The seasons on Earth are caused by the direction that the sun is hitting the Earth. In winter the sun is further from earth and is pointing a different direction. In summer the sun is closer to earth and is pointing in this direction.

It is the same thing when you and your friend both take a orange and a flashlight outside and shine it on  one side or the other. The side you cant see the light on is the same way the sun does with the seasons on Earth.]]> 2019-03-12 16:49:21 UTC https://padlet.com/tfarleyv13/esujunrqm3vl/wish/340519672 J https://padlet.com/tfarleyv13/esujunrqm3vl/wish/340529678 2019-03-12 17:07:55 UTC https://padlet.com/tfarleyv13/esujunrqm3vl/wish/340529678 Jeremy 18 Have you ever walked outside at night, looked up at the sky and thought that it is just so still and quiet up there that there was nothing going on? If you did, you are wrong. There are all kinds of stuff moving around up in outer space! There are meteors, lost bits of old satellites, and even millions of planets in millions of galaxies!
