I takes the Moon about 29.5 days to Orbit Earth
How many days does it take for the Moon to Orbit Earth?(Approximately)
|
Moon light comes from the sunlight bouncing of the moon and down towards Earth.
What is moon light?
|
False. Objects with mass have gravity
Objects with speed have gravity.

an oval shape traced by a moving point.
What is an Ellipse?

Waxing is when the sunlit moon is increasing from day to day. Waning is when the sunlit moon is decreasing from day to day.
What is the difference between Waxing and Waning?
|
The moon has an approximate 29 day cycle - a full moon every month.
How many days are in the moon’s cycle?
|
Gravity is the force of attraction that an object of mass has
What is gravity?
|
Mercury, Venus, Earth, Mars, Jupiter, Saturn, Uranus, Neptune.
List the planets in order.

Solar Eclipse: When the moon passes between the Sun and Earth creating a shadow on Earth.
Lunar Eclipse: When the Earth passes between the Sun and the moon creating a shadow on Earth.
What's the difference between a Solar and Lunar Eclipse?
|
The moon is a satellite of earth, orbiting it in an elliptical shape.The earth orbits the sun in an elliptical shape
How do the moon, Earth and Sun orbit each other?
|
Velocity
What cancels out gravity?

Venus is the hottest planet in the solar system, even though it’s the second planet. It’s hotter than Mercury (the first planet) because of its dense cloud layer.
Which planet is the hottest in our solar system?
|
|
Spring, Summer, Autumn, and Winter. These different seasons occur because of the angle of the axis. When one of Earth’s hemispheres receives the most direct sunlight it is summer. While the other hemisphere receives less sunlight's causing it to be winter
What are the different seasons and why do they occur?
|
1,737.4 Kilometers
What is the moon’s radius?
|
F=G(m1*m2/r^2)
What is the formula for the force of gravity?
|
Uranus and Neptune; Because of their Freezing temperatures and ice/gas bodies.
Which planets are Ice Giants? How are they different from Gas Giants?

|
- Solar Eclipse:
when the moon passes between the sun and the Earth. This creates a shadow on Earth - Lunar Eclipse When the Earth passes between the moon and the sun. This creates a shadow on the moon.
What are the different types of eclipses? How are they Different?
|
It orbits both because the moon goes around the sun while it is orbiting the earth.
Based on your knowledge, does the moon orbit the sun, earth or both?

“An object in motion will stay in motion unless something pushes or pulls on it” (Sir Isaac Newton)
this applies to the planets in orbit. Orbit can only occur when there is a correct balance of gravity and momentum. The smaller object that is orbiting a
What is Newton’s first law of motion and how does it relate to the orbit of planets?
