EARTH
IN
SPACE
The
Sun,
which
is
a
star,
is
Earth’s
source
of
heat
and
light.
It
takes
the
Earth
24
hours
to
turn
or
rotate
completely
one
time.
The
Earth’s
rotation
every
24
hours
results
in
day
and
night
on
Earth.
While
the
Earth
rotates,
half
of
the
Earth
faces
the
sun,
experiencing
day,
while
the
other
half
is
in
darkness,
experiencing
night.
The
Earth
rotates
at
the
very
SAME
speed
every
day
for
each
of
the
24
hours
it
takes
Earth
to
rotate
once
completely.
The
Earth
rotates
on
its
axis.
An
axis
is
an
imaginary
straight
line
running
through
the
center
of
the
earth,
from
the
North
Pole
to
the
South
Pole,
around
which
the
earth
rotates.
The
Earth
also
travels
in
a
circle
around
the
Sun.
The
Earth’s
path
around
the
Sun
is
called
its
orbit.
When
is
travels
around
its
circle
or
orbit
one
time,
we
all
it
a
revolution.
This
is
how
we
measure
one
year.

Earth’s
Seasons
The
Earth’s
revolutions
have
to
do
with
its
seasons.
As
the
Earth
rotates
on
its
axis
and
circles
the
sun,
different
parts
of
Earth
are
closer
to
the
Sun
than
others.
How
much
heat
and
light
we
get
on
planet
Earth
depends
on
how
close
Earth
is
to
the
Sun.
For
example,
during
winter
in
the
Northern
Hemisphere,
the
Northern
Hemisphere
is
pointing
farthest
away
from
the
sun.
How
the
Earth
is
TILTED
on
its
axis
and
where
it
is
in
comparison
to
the
Sun
is
the
reason
for
the
seasons
on
Earth.
The
length
of
daylight
on
Earth
changes
during
each
season.
Even
though
every
day
is
always
24
hours
no
matter
what
season
it
is,
winter
days
have
the
shortest
amount
of
daylight
and
the
summer
days
have
the
longest.

Checkpoint:
How
long
does
it
take
the
moon
to
make
one
revolution
of
its
orbit?

The
Moon
The
moon
goes
through
different
phases
about
every
4
weeks:
When
the
moon
is
between
the
Earth
and
the
Sun,
the
moon
looks
dark.
This
phase
is
called
the
"new"
moon.
Waxing
means
growing.
The
moon
can
be
described
as
this
when
it
becomes
MORE
visible
from
Earth
during
certain
moon
phases.
Waning
means
shrinking.
The
moon
can
be
described
as
this
when
it
becomes
LESS
visible
from
Earth
during
certain
moon
phases.
During
the
waxing
crescent
phase
of
the
moon,
only
a
sliver
of
the
moon’s
surface
can
be
seen
from
Earth.
The
first
quarter
phase
of
the
moon
is
when
the
moon
looks
half
full.
During
the
waxing
gibbous
phase,
we
see
between
a
half
moon
and
a
full
moon.

It’s
time
for
a
FULL
moon.
When
the
sun
and
moon
are
on
opposite
sides
of
the
Earth,
the
moon
appears
full,
because
the
sun
is
reflecting
its
light
completely
on
the
half
of
the
moon
that
we
can
see
on
Earth.
The
moon’s
waning
gibbous
phase
comes
right
after
the
full
moon
phase,
this
is
when
the
moon
is
between
a
full
moon
and
a
half
moon.
During
the
last
quarter
phase,
only
one
quarter
of
the
moon's
surface
be
seen
from
Earth.
During
the
moon’s
waning
crescent
phase,
only
a
sliver
of
the
moon’s
surface
can
be
seen
from
Earth.
A
constellation
is
a
group
of
stars
that
make
a
pattern
in
the
night
sky.
