Rotation & Revolution

Rotation & Revolution







Rotation-  Earth moving around an its axis. (Вращение земли)

Axis-  Imaginary line that Earth rotates on it. (Ось Земли)

Seasons- Each of the four different seasons (Divisions) of the year. (Времена года )

Polaris- Is a star that Earth's axis pointing at it. (Полярная звезда)

Times Zones- There are 24 Time Zones in the World (Часовые пояса)

Orbit- Its a Path that object (Moon) revolves around another (Earth) object. 

(Орбита Земли)

Hemisphere- Half of the planet that is above the Equator, and half of the planet that is below the Equator (Полушарие)

Equator- It's a line that  divides  the Earth into two parts, and they're know as Northern & Southern Hemispheres. (Экватор Земли)

Tilt- It's Earth's sloping position, and it tilted at 23.5 degrees. (Наклон Земли )

Ellipse- Is an regular oval shape of a body.

(Овал ) 

Summary 

Earth rotates on its axis in 24 hours (1day). Earths rotation cause day & night. This Rotation is counter-clockwise. The Earth complete Revolution around the Sun once 365 days. 

Earth has Time Zone's and there divided by Longitude. Earth's axis always pointed at star called Polaris, and it's titled an about 23.5 degrees.

Earth has elliptical orbit that earth revolves on it. The revolution around the  cause the season, and moving            of the stars. 

Critical Thinking Question

How is earth affected by movement?

The revolution around the Sun takes 365 days (1year). The Earth's axis and the Earth's orbit around the Sun causes the seasons which means: Winter, Summer, Fall, and Spring. During summer Earth receives direct sunlight and gets hotter. During winter some parts of Earth receives indirect sunlight and it's really cold. 

Likewise the revolution causes the Lunar Revolution which leads to changing of the Tides.

  

          What did you enjoy most about this project and why?                                                                     
 I really enjoyed to gain knowledge, learn about space like : Earth, Sun, and Moon. Also i have enjoyed is by discovering new things, and using my imagination.           

            
What was most challenging for you during this project and why? 
The most challenging part was an to figure out what is rotation and revolution. It was little challenging for me because i mixed them up. 




   What new skills did you learn from this project?
The new skills i have learned it was about seasons. Now I know that when is in Northern Hemisphere is summer because it gets direct sunlight, but  Southern it would indirect sunlight so its winter. Also i learned that the Earth's axis is always tilted at star called Polaris. 

 Is there anything that you could have done to improve any of your skills? 

Next time before we as a class will begin to study a new topic. I'll be study this new subject detailed, and carefully, so I understand it. What i mean by that is, that i had a little challenges for the first time.
