    because of the earths………..? some hemispheres receive direct sunlight, while others do not.
  • 7.5
    A solar eclipse lasts for about how many minutes
  • Winter
    The season the southern hemisphere experiences when the northern hemisphere is tilted towards the Sun
  • The longer the daytime, the warmer the place
  • The Earth's tilt is the reason why the other atmosphere also experiences daytime or many, so their energy and not the other one
  • Revolution
    In science terms, when an object is spinning around another object
  • Orbit
    Where the Earth spins around the Sun
  • A leap year occurs every 4 years
  • It takes the Earth 24 hours to rotate one time, which we experience as day and night
  • Axis
    The invisible line that the Earth spins on, intersecting the Earth through both the north and south poles
  • The Earth orbits the Sun in 365 days, or it takes the Earth 365 days to complete its journey around the Sun
  • Every four years, an extra day is added to the calendar, called the leap year
  • Rotation
    The Earth's spinning on its axis causes day and night
  • Revolution
    Causes the four seasons
  • Equinox
    When the Sun shines equally on the northern and southern hemisphere
  • December is the month we experience winter
  • It is daytime when a hemisphere is tilted towards the Sun
  • It is daytime in the southern hemisphere when the northern hemisphere is still tilted towards the Sun while the southern hemisphere is tilted away from the Sun
  • Solar Eclipse
    An eclipse that occurs when the Moon passes between the Earth and the Sun
  • Lunar Eclipse

    An eclipse that happens when the Earth is between the Sun and the Moon
  • Total Eclipse
    A type of solar eclipse when your location is located at an Umbra
  • Annular Eclipse
    A type of solar eclipse that occurs when the Moon is farther from the Earth
  • Partial Eclipse
    A type of solar eclipse when your location is located at the penumbra
  • Antumbra
    The new shadow when an annular solar eclipse is happening
  • Corona
    The outermost layer of the Sun when a solar eclipse is happening
  • A lunar eclipse is safe for us to observe with our naked eyes
  • Penumbral Eclipse

    A type of lunar eclipse that occurs when the Moon is at the penumbra
  • Partial Eclipse

    A type of lunar eclipse when the Moon is between the penumbra and Umbra
  • The Moon gets red when a lunar eclipse is happening
  • The troposphere is decreasing with altitude
  • Warm air is how dense and what pressure, and cold air is how dense and what pressure?
    Warm air: less dense, low pressure Cold air: more dense, high pressure
  • Warm air ____ while cold air _____
    rises, sinks
  • Whats a monsoon
    a seasonal wind pattern
  • We experience winter because sun emits less energy in winter. True or False? 
    False
  • If it is winter in the NH, it is winter in SH too. True or False?
    False
  • Daytime is longer in the summer months because Earth spins slowly in the summer months. True or False?
    False
