Benchmark #2: Space
Across
- 3. an oval shape
- 6. peak points of the orbit where the axis is pointed furthest or closest to the Sun
- 9. the axis is equal but coming from pointing towards and about to point away
- 11. the axis is pointing away from the Sun
- 12. the bigger it is the more gravity is felt
- 13. outer lighter shadow where light is partially blocked
- 15. the farther it is the less gravity is felt
- 18. an imaginary line about which an object rotates
- 19. eclipse where the moon is in the middle between the Sun and Earth
- 21. eclipse where the Earth is in the middle between the moon and the Sun
- 22. the spin of an object around an axis
Down
- 1. areas that are always freezing cold due to the curvature of the Earth and how the sunlight travels through the atmosphere
- 2. series of events that are regularly repeated in the same order
- 4. an event that occurs when an object is temporarily obscured, by passing into the shadow of another
- 5. these occur on Earth due to revolution and tilt
- 6. the axis is equal but coming from pointing away and about to point towards
- 7. halfway points where the axis is equal and not pointed towards or away from the Sun
- 8. central darker shadow where light is totally blocked
- 10. one orbit around another object
- 14. Earth has one of 23.5 degrees
- 16. the axis is pointing towards the Sun
- 17. the attractive force between two masses
- 20. the path of one object going around another
