galaxy.

What is the nebular theory of solar system
formation?The gaseous clouds rotate,
gradually collapsing on each other and flattening due to
gravity. More mass creates more gravity. Over long periods of time, stars and planets are
formed.

The earth rotates the sun in orbit.
Why is Earth considered a satellite of the Sun?

A system of millions of stars. All the components are held
together by gravity.
What is a galaxy?

Kepler’s First Law states that the orbits of all satellites ellipse with
the Sun at two foci.
What is Kepler’s first law of planetary motion?
![Page 8: EARTH / ENVORONEMENTAL MSL REVIEW](https://reader035.fdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062410/56816660550346895dd9e8a0/html5/thumbnails/8.jpg)

As Kepler’s second law states, the planet sweep equal areas. This means the section is thicker,
causing the velocity to be higher. Look at the picture below.
Why does the Earth travel faster when it is
nearer the Sun (at perihelion)?

Like a rotating top, the direction of the axis slowly changes. On Earth this takes 26, 000
years.
What is precession of Earth’s motion around
the Sun?

This is the rocking or swaying of the axis as it moves along it’s
precession.

Seasons are caused by the tilt. This is the movement of face of the earth.
Check out the picture below.
What does the tilt of the Earth on it axis
result in?

It determines how much sun exposure there is to the specific area. The closer to the equator, the more direct sunlight
for more time of the year.
How does latitude affect climate?

The specific heat of water is relatively high compared to land elements. The water can hold more heat and it will release the heat
slowly instead of the land which takes in a lot of heat, but releases it quickly.
Why does Earth’s surface heat differently with regards to land and
water?

Sunlight, the solar energy, is chemically reacting with carbon dioxide and water to
make the carbohydrates plants need as well as oxygen.
How is solar energy converted to chemical
energy during photosynthesis?

radiation?
