Travel along and we will find out where we live in space and what we can see
in space.

Do you know what a solar system is?
Do you know what is in our solar system?

Our solar system is made up of an enormous sun and everything that
travels around it.
![Page 5: Exploring Earth Science The Earth and Moon](https://reader036.vdocuments.mx/reader036/viewer/2022062411/56816865550346895ddec2c9/html5/thumbnails/5.jpg)
We live on one of the nine
planets in our system. Other small bodies
called asteroids and comets can be found in our
system also.
![Page 6: Exploring Earth Science The Earth and Moon](https://reader036.vdocuments.mx/reader036/viewer/2022062411/56816865550346895ddec2c9/html5/thumbnails/6.jpg)
If we were to put the planets in order , from the one closest to the sun, they
would be Mercury, Venus, Earth, Mars, Jupiter, Saturn, Uranus, Neptune, and
Pluto.

What do you know about how our planet, Earth, moves in space?
![Page 8: Exploring Earth Science The Earth and Moon](https://reader036.vdocuments.mx/reader036/viewer/2022062411/56816865550346895ddec2c9/html5/thumbnails/8.jpg)
Earth is the third planet. We call Earth our ‘home planet.’
It is the shape of a sphere.
![Page 9: Exploring Earth Science The Earth and Moon](https://reader036.vdocuments.mx/reader036/viewer/2022062411/56816865550346895ddec2c9/html5/thumbnails/9.jpg)
It has oceans full of water, green forests, animals,
plants, and breathable air. It is a unique planet. From
space, the Earth looks like a beautiful blue-green marble, with white swirling clouds.

• Sunlight comes from the sun to the Earth. The sunlight that warms our faces right now left the sun over eight minutes ago. The sun warms the Earth.
![Page 11: Exploring Earth Science The Earth and Moon](https://reader036.vdocuments.mx/reader036/viewer/2022062411/56816865550346895ddec2c9/html5/thumbnails/11.jpg)
What causes daytime and
night time on the Earth?
What causes the changing of our
seasons?
![Page 12: Exploring Earth Science The Earth and Moon](https://reader036.vdocuments.mx/reader036/viewer/2022062411/56816865550346895ddec2c9/html5/thumbnails/12.jpg)
The Earth whizzes along spinning in space at 67,000 miles an hour. We
can’t feel it spinning. Yet is makes one complete turn every 24 hours.
![Page 13: Exploring Earth Science The Earth and Moon](https://reader036.vdocuments.mx/reader036/viewer/2022062411/56816865550346895ddec2c9/html5/thumbnails/13.jpg)
This spinning around like a top is called rotation. As it spins only one side faces the sun. Day begins when our part of the world turns to face the sun.
![Page 14: Exploring Earth Science The Earth and Moon](https://reader036.vdocuments.mx/reader036/viewer/2022062411/56816865550346895ddec2c9/html5/thumbnails/14.jpg)
Night falls when our part of the Earth turns away from the sun. The side facing away from the sun has nighttime.
![Page 15: Exploring Earth Science The Earth and Moon](https://reader036.vdocuments.mx/reader036/viewer/2022062411/56816865550346895ddec2c9/html5/thumbnails/15.jpg)
This rotation or spinning of Earth causes day and night. The Earth rotates on its axis. The axis is an
imaginary line through its center. It rotates once every 24 hours causing
day and night.

Every day the Earth travels around the sun. The
Earth and the moon travel
together in an orbit around
the sun once a year.
![Page 17: Exploring Earth Science The Earth and Moon](https://reader036.vdocuments.mx/reader036/viewer/2022062411/56816865550346895ddec2c9/html5/thumbnails/17.jpg)
One revolution around the sun equals 365 days. This revolution causes the
changing of the seasons.

When the Earth moves closer to the sun, summer returns. When the Earth moves farther away from the sun in its
orbit, winter returns.

• What is the Earth’s natural satellite?
• What does it look like?
![Page 20: Exploring Earth Science The Earth and Moon](https://reader036.vdocuments.mx/reader036/viewer/2022062411/56816865550346895ddec2c9/html5/thumbnails/20.jpg)
The moon is the Earth’s only natural satellite.
• The moon is a ball of rock that is dry and dusty. It has craters, valleys, mountains, and large patches called seas.
![Page 21: Exploring Earth Science The Earth and Moon](https://reader036.vdocuments.mx/reader036/viewer/2022062411/56816865550346895ddec2c9/html5/thumbnails/21.jpg)
In 1969, the first man stepped onto the moon. There is no wind or rain on the moon to wash the footprints
away.

• Where does the light shining from the moon come from?
• Why does it seem to change shapes in space?
![Page 23: Exploring Earth Science The Earth and Moon](https://reader036.vdocuments.mx/reader036/viewer/2022062411/56816865550346895ddec2c9/html5/thumbnails/23.jpg)
The moon circles around the Earth about once every 28 days. The moon
does not spin like the Earth. The moon only spins once a month on its axis. The moon looks bright at night, but it
does not make its own light.

We see the moon because the sun shines on it. The sunlight bounces off the moon and down toward the Earth.
We see reflected sunlight.
![Page 25: Exploring Earth Science The Earth and Moon](https://reader036.vdocuments.mx/reader036/viewer/2022062411/56816865550346895ddec2c9/html5/thumbnails/25.jpg)
• As the moon travels around the Earth, we can see different amounts of the side lit by the sun. The moon’s appearance changes each day through the month depending on where the moon is in its orbit.

• These changes of how the moon looks from the Earth are called the moon’s phases. Sometimes the moon looks completely dark and seems to disappear. This is called a new moon. Sometimes the moon looks round. This is called a full moon.
![Page 28: Exploring Earth Science The Earth and Moon](https://reader036.vdocuments.mx/reader036/viewer/2022062411/56816865550346895ddec2c9/html5/thumbnails/28.jpg)

• After the new moon, the moon appears to change. More and more of the moon starts to show. This is a crescent moon. When the moon is growing larger, we call this a waxing moon.
![Page 29: Exploring Earth Science The Earth and Moon](https://reader036.vdocuments.mx/reader036/viewer/2022062411/56816865550346895ddec2c9/html5/thumbnails/29.jpg)
• It appears to grow larger until it is a round, full moon. Then the full moon appears to grow smaller. This is called the waning moon. When the moon goes from a new moon to a full moon, it has complete one orbit of cycle.
![Page 30: Exploring Earth Science The Earth and Moon](https://reader036.vdocuments.mx/reader036/viewer/2022062411/56816865550346895ddec2c9/html5/thumbnails/30.jpg)
• A complete orbit of the moon around the Earth produces the moon’s phases that we see. This complete cycle of the moon’s phases takes 29.5 days.
![Page 31: Exploring Earth Science The Earth and Moon](https://reader036.vdocuments.mx/reader036/viewer/2022062411/56816865550346895ddec2c9/html5/thumbnails/31.jpg)
• Because of the moon’s orbit or cycle of 29.5 days, moonrise can appear later each day. That is why we see sometimes see the moon in the sky at night and other times we see it during the day.
