Across
- 3. the curved path of a celestial object or spacecraft around a star, planet, or Moon
- 4. tide water level that has dropped as a result of the moon's gravitational pull on the Earth
- 7. tide refers to a period of moderate Tides when the Sun and Moon are at right angles to each other
- 9. the force by which a planet or other body draws objects towards its center
- 11. the measurable amount of a property such as force, brightness, or a magnetic field
- 13. the act of revolving, or turning around on an Axis or Center the moon the motion of a body round a fixed point or line (the Earth rotates around the Sun)
- 15. an event in which a planet's poles are most extremely inclined toward or away from the start orbits winter/summer
- 16. axis and imaginary line around which an object spins or rotates
- 18. an imaginary line around the middle of a planet or other celestial body
Down
- 1. tilt occurs when a planet rotates around an axis that is tilted relative to the plane of its revolution around a larger object
- 2. a circular movement of an object around a center a of rotation (the Earth rotates on its axis)
- 5. tide very long period waves that move through the ocean in response to the forces exerted by the Moon and Sun
- 6. tide the large rise and fall of the tide at or soon after the new or the full moon
- 8. when the sun is exactly above the equator (spring/fall)
- 10. tide occurs when water covers much of the store after rising to its highest level
- 12. range difference in height between high tide and low tide
- 14. Force the gravitational pool exerted by a Celestial body that raises the tides on another body Within the gravitational field, dependent on the varying distance between the bodies
- 17. tide the periodic (occurring at regular interval) variations in the surface water level of the oceans, bays, gulfs, and inlets
