  1. Earth’s Day/Night, Year, & Seasons How rotation, revolution, and tilt cause it all!

  2. The Cause of Earth’s… Day/Night Year Seasons (every 9 cm) Cut lines (top sheet only!)

  3. The Cause of Earth’s… Day/Night Year Seasons Rotation

  4. The Cause of Earth’s… Day/Night Year Seasons Rotation

  5. The Cause of Earth’s… Day/Night Year Seasons Rotation is the spinning of a body, in this case Earth, on its axis. (Definition) Earth spins/rotates counterclockwise. (Key Statements) It takes 24 hours for one rotation. The side facing the Sun experiences day, and the side facing away from the Sun experiences night.

  6. The Cause of Earth’s… Day/Night Year Seasons Revolution Rotation

  7. The Cause of Earth’s… Day/Night Year Seasons • when one body revolves around • another in space • the Earth rotates while it revolves; • it’s moving about 30,000 meters • per second; • the path is not a perfect circle Rotation (Definition) (Key Statements)

  8. The Cause of Earth’s… Day/Night Year Seasons Revolution Rotation Revolution YES! NO! Tilt

  9. The Cause of Earth’s… Day/Night Year Seasons • how much the axis “leans” off center; the Earth’s axis is 23.5° • a season is a pattern of temperature and weather • seasons are caused by how much sunlight is received, and that is caused by the tilt and by Earth’s position around the sun; on an equinox the sun shines equally on the northern and southern hemispheres Revolution Rotation
