Across
- 3. season in which Earth is tilted toward the sun resulting in more daylight and higher temperatures
- 9. the path an object, such as a planet, takes as it revolves around another object
- 10. an increasing amount of visible light on the moon's surface (light on the right)
- 11. turning or spinning on an axis
- 13. the Earth is not tilted away or toward the sun, equal day and night and moderate temps
- 15. one of the two inventors of a diagram charting brightness and temperature of stars (other is Russel)
- 16. the tide that occurs when ocean water is at its lowest level
- 17. moon phase where no reflected light from the sun is seen
Down
- 1. equal day and night (happens twice a year)
- 2. the action of one object moving completely around another in an orbital path
- 4. moon phase where less than half of the moon is visible from the Earth (waxing or waning)
- 5. an imaginary line drawn around the Earth that divides it into northern and southern hemispheres
- 6. moon phase where more than half of the moon is visible from the Earth (waxing or waning)
- 7. the tide that occurs when ocean water is at its highest level
- 8. a decreasing amount of visible light on the moon's surface (light on the left)
- 12. an imaginary line that runs through both poles of a planet
- 13. marks the longest or shortest day of the year (most or least sunlight)
- 14. moon phase where 100% of the moon is visible from Earth
- 18. the season in which Earth is tilted away from the sun resulting in less daylight and lower temperatures
