Across
- 5. an imaginary straight line around which an object spins or rotates. Earth is tilted at 23.5 degrees.
- 7. the spin of a body on its axis. Earth takes 24 hours to rotate causing day and night.
Down
- 1. The motion of a body that travels around another body in space, one complete trip along an orbit. Earth takes 365 ¼ days to orbit the sun. Moon’s revolution around the Earth cyclical patterns Moon Phases
- 2. Tide- A tide of minimum range that occurs during the first and third quarters of the moon. (weak)
- 3. a regular, repeating path that one object in space takes around another one.
- 4. a division of the year that is characterized by reoccurring weather conditions and determined by both the Earth’s tilt relative to the sun and the Earth’s position in its orbit around the sun. (spring, summer, fall, winter). Cyclical changes of light due to the tilt and revolution of the Earth around the Sun
- 6. Tide- A tide of increased range that occurs two times a month, at the new and full moons. (strong)
