- The four different times of the year (spring, summer, fall, and winter) caused by Earth's tilt and revolution around the Sun. In summer, the days are longer, and in the winter they are shorter.
- A tide with very high water levels and very low water levels. Spring tides happen during a full moon and a new moon, when the Sun, Earth, and Moon are in a straight line.
- An imaginary line around the middle of Earth that divides it into the northern and southern hemispheres. Places near the equator like Ecuador have warmer weather all year.
- A group of stars that form a pattern in the sky. The Big Dipper is a well-known constellation that helps people find direction at night.

- When the Earth spins around its axis, it is called rotation. This causes day and night. One full rotation takes about 24 hours.
- The rising and falling of ocean water caused by the Moon's gravity. There are two high tides and two low tides every day.
- The force of gravity from the Moon and Sun that pulls on Earth's oceans. This force causes the tides to rise and fall.
