- 6. Refers to the point in the orbit of a celestial body, such as the Moon or a satellite, where it is farthest from the Earth.
- 7. moon phases where you can see more than half of the bright side
- 10. Developed three laws to explain planetary motion.
- 12. _____tides happen when the gravitational forces of the Moon and the Sun align, resulting in more extreme high and low tides.
- 13. Eccentricity values range from zero to ____.
- 14. Refers to the point in the orbit of a celestial body, such as the Moon or a satellite, where it is closest to the Earth.
- 17. moon phases are when the amount of lighted side we see decreases each night
- 18. Refers to the difference in height between high tide and low tide during a tidal cycle. It is a measure of the vertical difference in water level between the highest and lowest points reached by the tide.
