D A Y N I G H T How long does it take for Earth to make one complete rotation? The part of the Earth that is facing the sun is having what? The part of the Earth that is facing away from the sun is having what? About 24 hours (1 Day) day night Earth's Rotation 8

9 Earth Science Review.notebook Your shortest shadow is at midday. Your longest shadow is at sunrise or sunset. The sun appears to rise and set because of Earth's rotation. Jun 21 8:27 AM How is our Earth unique? Earth has large amounts of life supporting water and an oxygen rich atmosphere. The Earth has volcanoes, earthquakes, wind, rain, tornadoes, and hurricanes. The Earth has an atmosphere that protects the planet from temperature extremes. Feb 10 11:03 AM 9

10 Earth Science Review.notebook Sun Facts... The sun is about 109 times the diameter of the Earth The sun is an averaged sized yellow star The Sun is the only star in our solar system. The Sun is one of trillions of stars in space. The sun is a ball of hot burning gases The Sun rotates on its axis. The dark cooler spots on the Sun are called sunspots. Feb 10 1:48 PM Moon Facts Click on the moons The moon has no atmosphere and no weather, weathering or erosion The moon has mountains, some of which are over 10,000 feet tall. The moon has 1/6 the gravity of Earth. The moon revolves around the Earth. The moon does not produce its own light. It reflects light from the sun. The moon is covered with craters caused by the impact of meteors. The moon rotates on its axis once about every 27 days. The moon is made of rock. Ice has been found in the dark parts of craters where no sunlight hits the surface. Mar 4 4:32 PM 10
