  1. 3. closest to the object with more mass.
  2. 4. The spinning of a body, such as Earth, about its axis causes day and night to occur.
  3. 5. Increases as the foci (or focal point) increases = more elongated elliptical shape
  4. 7. Tide Occurs with the first and third quarter moon phase
  5. 8. Law Differences in eccentricity cause the orbital paths of planets with the sun as the focal point.

  1. 1. Law Explains the relationship between orbital speed and distance from the sun.
  2. 2. Tide Occurs with a new moon and a full moon, has the strongest tides.
  3. 3. The center of mass between two or more bodies, usually orbiting around each other.
  4. 6. The motion of one body about another, as Earth about the sun; causing variations in sunlight intensity, day length, and affects weather patterns and climate zones on Earth. Ex: Seasons
  5. 9. Law Equation that shows planets closer to the sun move faster in their orbits than those farther away.
