Title: EARTH'S
1Speed of Rotation 1,600 km/hr Rotation is
measured at the Equator because it is the widest
point on the planet
Rotation on Axis Counter clockwise Tilt 23.5
degrees 1 Rotation 24 hrs 1 Earth Day Cause
Axis imaginary line runs N pole to S pole Earth
spins on axis axis does not change

2Seasons Tilt of Earth Revolution around
Sun Angle of the Sun's rays Direct Rays -
Summer Indirect Rays - Winner Equal or Moderate

Phases are how much of Sun's reflected light is
being seen from Earth
MOON
Waning Fading On LEFT side!!!
Waxing Growing On RIGHT SIDE!!!
4Moon's gravity pulls on Earth's water Sun's
gravity pulls on Earth's water also Moon's pull
is stronger because it is closer
Spring Tide Full and New Moon Earth, Moon, and
Sun are in a line (aligned)
Neap Tide 1st 3rd(last) quarter Earth, Moon,
Sun form right angle
