Writing Assignment
• Put your name at the top of your paper.• In several paragraphs I want you to write
down all you can remember about the rotation and revolution of the Earth around the sun. How long does it take? What does it result in day and night? Seasons? Please address the Earth’s tilt as it moves around the Sun as well.

Give An Idea
• Each person will have a “give an idea” token. • For one minute your group will discuss the question and
everyone will give their opinion of the answer. If answers differ, you need to determine which is correct.
• The noise level will be 1 meter, meaning I should only hear your voice if I am 1 meter away!
• As you speak, you put your token in the center. YOU ARE NOT ALLOWED TO SPEAK AGAIN UNTIL ALL TOKENS ARE IN THE CENTER and everyone takes one again.

Eclipses
• The Sun and Moon occasionally line up so that we have an eclipse.
– These eclipses happen every year– To see a solar eclipse, you need to
be on a particular part of the Earth

Solar Eclipses• When the Moon’s shadow covers part of the Earth• Only happens at New Moon• Three types: Annular, Partial, and Total

Total Solar Eclipse• Observers in the “umbra” shadow see a total eclipse (safe to view the Sun); can see the
corona• Those in “penumbra” see a partial eclipse—not safe to look directly at Sun• Only lasts a few minutes• Path of Totality about 10,000 miles long, only 100 miles wide

Annular Solar Eclipse• When the Moon is too far to completely cover the Sun—the umbra doesn’t
reach the Earth• Sun appears as a donut around the Moon
