I can: Demonstrate my knowledge of Earth in Space.

Key vocabulary: radiant energy, accretion, ecliptic, elliptical, rotation, revolution, axis, sphere

Standard- 6-8 ES1B Earth is the third planet from the sun in a system that includes the Moon, the Sun, seven other major planets and their moons, and smaller objects such as asteroids, plutoids, dwarf planets and comets. These bodies differ in many characteristics (e.g., size, composition, relative position).
