Earth's Orbital Movement
Across
- 2. Determines the strength of its gravitational attraction to other bodies.
- 5. Twice each year when the sun crosses the equator, when day and night are of approximately equal length (about September 22 and March 20).
- 8. The spinning of planet Earth around its own axis where a complete orbit is 1 day.
- 9. An imaginary line about which a body rotates.
- 10. Twice each year when the sun reaches its maximum or minimum declination, resulting in the longest and shortest days of the year(about June 21 and December 22).
Down
- 1. The force that attracts a body toward the center of any other physical body having mass.
- 3. The movement of the Earth around the Sun in a fixed path where a complete orbit takes 365.256 days.
- 4. The star at the center of the Solar System.
- 6. An imaginary line located at 0 degrees latitude, halfway between the North and South poles.
- 7. A regular, repeating path that one object in space takes around something.
