• Factors affecting surface temperature of planets


  • Distance from the sun
• Jupiter, Saturn, Uranus, Neptune

  Outer Planets
• Mercury, Venus, Earth, Mars

• Planets have different periods of revolution around the Sun


  They have different distances from the Sun
• Northeast monsoon


  Blows from Asiatic mainland to our country from October to March
• Philippines have generally warm temperature


  It lies near the equator
• Factors influencing climate of Philippines


  Location of the country
• Southwest monsoon


  Brings heavy rainfall throughout the country from May to October
• Climate


  Atmospheric condition that changes over a long period of time
• Monsoon rains are sometimes dangerous for fishing

  They bring strong winds that produce big waves
• During some months the Earth's axis is tilted towards the Sun

  We experience hot season
• Factors determining climate in the Philippines

  Amount of rainfall
• Type II climate


  Experienced in Catanduanes
• Southwest monsoon


  Wind that blows from the west Philippine Sea and brings rain throughout the country
• As seen from the north pole in what direction does the Earth Rotates?


  counterclockwise
• When the other side of the earth is away from the Sun, this side does not receive light so it is dark. What time is it on this side of the earth?


  night time
• As the Globe rotates, only half of it receives light so this side is bright. Places on this area experiences what time of the day?


  daytime
• Why do we have day and night?


  because the earth rotates on its axis
• Which of the following will happen if the earth did not rotate?
