Ch. 27-3 The Sun-Earth-Moon System
On page 65: fold page in ½ make 4 doors.
Objectives: Identify the relative positions and
motions of the Sun, Earth, and Moon Describe the phases of the Moon. Distinguish between solstices and
equinoxes. Explain eclipses of the Sun and Moon.

4 Types of Earth Motion
1. Galactic/ Cosmic Year: The length of time it takes solar system to circle around the Milky Way approximately 225,000,000 years
Milky Way GalaxyWe are located in a spur off the minor Sagittarius Arm. Our local region of the galaxy is typically known as the Orion Arm

4 Types of Earth Motion
2. Precession of Axis or "Wobble" effect: approx. 26,000 years
Polaris is our current North Celestial Pole Star.
13,000 = Pole Star will be bright star of Vega , in Lyra constellation
26,000 years = Polar Star will be Polaris again

4 Types of Earth Motion
3. Revolution: Earth takes 365 days 5 hours 43 minutes or 365 1/4 days to revolve around the sun. This gives us our "year".

4 Types of Earth Motion
4. Rotation: Gives us our "day".
Sidereal Day:Earth’s rotation in relationship to a star. Sidereal day is23 hrs 56 min 4.1 sec. long
Solar Day:Earth’s rotation in relationship to the sun. Solar day is 24 hours long.

Phases of the Moon
NEW MOON
WAXING CRESCENT
FIRST QUARTER
Moon is directly between the Sun and Earth. Far side is lighted. Near side is dark. We see the dark side.
A sliver of moon's near side is lighted.
Lighted semi-circle. 1/2 of moon is lighted. We see only a 1/4 of it.

Lunar month vs. lunar day
Describe a lunar month vs. a lunar
day.
Add this one tab foldable to the top of page 69 . Add what is below under the tab.
Lunar month = New Moon to New Moon. Also called a synodic month = 29.5 days
A lunar day is 27.3 days long. This is the time it takes for the moon to return to the same spot in the sky relative to the stars. Also called a sidereal month.
