    • Tilt
      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
