Review for Unit Assessment

Seasons:

Notes
Seasons happen because Earth's axis is tilted at an angle of about 23.5 degrees and different parts of Earth receive more solar energy than others.



Lunar Phases

Notes
As the Sun sets, the Moon rises with the side that faces Earth fully exposed to sunlight (5).The Moon has phases because it orbits Earth, which causes the portion we see illuminated to change. The Moon takes 27.3 days to orbit Earth, but the lunar phase cycle (from new Moon to new Moon) is 29.5 days.


Eclipses
