Across
  1. 2. Caused by the revolution of the Earth around the Sun which is 365 ¼ days
  2. 5. Sun more concentrated & intense due to perpendicular angle resulting in warmer Summer
  3. 8. Caused by the tilt of the Earth’s axis. Summer = we tilt toward; Winter = we tilt away
  4. 9. The regular, repeating path of one object around another
  5. 11. Earth rotates and revolves the opposite direction of a clock’s hands
  6. 13. Imaginary line running though N & S poles of Earth
  7. 14. To spin on axis
  8. 15. 23.5o tilt that causes seasons
Down
  1. 1. Imaginary line runs around center of earth at 0 degrees separating N & S hemispheres
  2. 3. Egg or football shaped path the planets take around the sun
  3. 4. One object travels around another object. Ex. Moon goes around Earth in ≅ 28 days
  4. 6. Sun at low angle results in diffused, weak light & cooler temps in Winter
  5. 7. Half of the Earth divided into N & S halves by the Equator
  6. 10. Earth’s tilt most extreme toward (Longest Day Summer) and away from sun (Longest Night Winter)
  7. 12. Equal day & night because Earth’s tilt = 0; Spring & Fall
