Across
- 3. closest to the object with more mass.
- 4. The spinning of a body, such as Earth, about its axis causes day and night to occur.
- 5. Increases as the foci (or focal point) increases = more elongated elliptical shape
- 7. Tide Occurs with the first and third quarter moon phase
- 8. Law Differences in eccentricity cause the orbital paths of planets with the sun as the focal point.
Down
- 1. Law Explains the relationship between orbital speed and distance from the sun.
- 2. Tide Occurs with a new moon and a full moon, has the strongest tides.
- 3. The center of mass between two or more bodies, usually orbiting around each other.
- 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
- 9. Law Equation that shows planets closer to the sun move faster in their orbits than those farther away.
