  1. 4. Symmetrical, closed oval shapes (stretched circles) that describe the geometric paths of planetary orbits
  2. 5. Three foundational rules of planetary motion formulated by Johannes Kepler:Foci
  3. 7. The curved, regular path that an object follows as it rotates
  4. 8. The spinning motion of an object around its own internal axis (e.g., Earth takes about 24 hours to complete one full rotation,
  5. 9. The two fixed internal points inside an ellipse from which the sum of the distances to any point on the ellipse is constant
  6. 10. The angle at which a planet's rotational axis is inclined relative to its orbital plane
Down
  1. 1. An imaginary straight line running through the center of a rotating object
  2. 2. The orbital movement of one object around another (e.g., Earth revolves around the Sun, taking about 365.25 days to complete
  3. 3. A numerical value (\(0\) to \(1\)) measuring how much an ellipse deviates from a perfect circle
  4. 6. he distinct periods of the year (spring, summer, autumn, winter) caused primarily by the 23.5-degree tilt of Earth's axis
