| A lunar eclipse occurs during what phase | full moon |
| Tides are highest when | moon, earth and sun are in a line |
| A solar eclipse occurs when | moon is between sun and earth |
| One complete revolution of Earth around the sun takes about | 365 days |
| Earth's rotation on its axis causes | day and night |
| Differences on how much the moon pulls on different parts of Earth causes | tides |
| Earth's rotation takes about | 24 hours |
| In the Southern Hemisphere, the summer solstice occurs when the sun is directly overhead at | 23.5 S latitude |
| If neither end of Earth's axis is tilted toward or away from the sun, what occurs? | Fall or Spring |
| You never see the far side of the moon, because | the moon rotates 1 time for each revolution around earth/moon revolves around Earth while Earth is rotating |
| The amount of the lighted side of the moon you can see is the same during what phases? | 1st and 3rd quarters |
| When the sun's pull is at right angles to the moons, you have | neap tide |
| The phase of the moon you see depends on | the position of the moon and sun/how much of the sunlit side faces the earth |
| How much light do you see from new moon phase to full moon phase? | increasing/goes up to the right |
| Describe the type of rays and length of days North America would experience when the north end of Earth's axis is tilted toward the sun | direct rays and longer days |
| About how much time passes between a new moon and a full moon? | 2 weeks |
| From which direction is the sun shining on the first quarter phase? | Right |
| During a full moon, where is the moon in relation to Earth and the sun? | on the opposite side |
