DEFINITION DURATION CONSEQUENCE


S

ROTATION It’s when the 24 h (1 day) Changing of


earth rotates day to night
from east to
west

REVOLUTION It’s when the 365 days (1 Inclination of


earth orbits the year) the axis, these
sun are the seasons

2.

The Moon receives the light from the sun again: full moon

Perfect circular disk: New Moon

Moon gets smaller each day: Waxing moon

The sun lights up the opposite face We see from Earth: Waning Moon

3.

In the Northern Hemisphere, do you think days will be longer


or shorter during this reason? Explain why.

Longer because here in the southern hemisphere it does night


quicker.

Which are the two reasons we have seasons?

Because of the rotation of the sun and in one part is night faster and
in the other is day longer.
4. Explain three reasons why there can be life on Earth but
not on Mars.

Mars is hundreds of degrees colder than Earth; it has a hundred times


less atmosphere and that atmosphere has hardly any oxygen. But
there may be other forms of life that could have evolved that aren't
very much like us but are very much like the early forms of life that
evolved on Earth.

5. If our planet was flat, do you think we would observe this


same shadow in any continent at the same time?

If the Earth were flat, then shadows would be the same length,
regardless of location.

6. Which two elements are always making the surface of our


planet change?

-Nuclear fusion and earthquakes

-Tectonic plates and wind/water

-Rotation and revolution

>How old is our planet?

-54 million years old

-4600 million years old

-3 million years old

-50 billion years


7. Many people think that the greenhouse effect only has
negative consequences for life in our planet. Do you think
they are wrong?

Yes, because the greenhouse effect is also a crucial and positive part
of Earth's energy balance.

8. Match each concept to its sentece

Axis Divides our planet in hemispheres

Equator It protects from the Sun

Winter Solstice It orbits a planet instead of a star

Atmosphere Its inclination causes the seasons

Moon It starts on 21st December

9. Say one characteristic about:

-Core of the Sun: Made of gas

-Radioactive Zone: Is the method of energy transport (radiation)

-Chromosphere: Appears bright red because the hydrogen in the Sun


emits a light at high temperatures

-Photosphere: distinctive, individual, and peculiar
