14 Celestial Sphere Rotation Where would the observer look to see the star indicated by the arrow? Celestial Sphere Star B 2 3 Star A 2 Horizon Celestial Sphere A. High in the Northeast B. High in the Southeast C. High in the Northwest D. High in the Southwest Figure 2 Celestial Sphere Rotation
15 Nightly Motion of the Stars Imagine looking toward the East as a star rises above your horizon - what does it do after that?
16 Nightly Motion of the Stars Celestial Sphere Rotation Star B 1 2 Star A 2 Celestial Sphere Celestial Sphere 3 Horizon 4 Figure 2 Celestial Sphere Rotation
17 Nightly Motion of the Stars For stars (the Moon and planets) that appear in the southern sky: Stars first rise near the eastern horizon, move upward and toward the south, and then move down and set near the western horizon.
18 PS: Celestial Sphere Polaris

20 Quiz on Monday regarding this picture. (Will be posted on course site under Quizzes so far )
21 What direction is the camera facing in this picture? A.North B.East C.South D.West
22 Change in day-today structure 12:00-12:15 Announcement Mini-lecture to get us on the same page 12:15-12:45 Lecture Tutorials 12:45-12:50 Think-Pair-Share or Quiz Reminder about think-pair-share procedure
23 Earth orbits the Sun Can see this in the apparent motion of the Sun/stars. Consider going out and observing the sky at the same time every night Recall how we define different times of day Noon = when the Sun in on the meridian. Midnight = noon+12 hours Is this the same for stars? Solar day = day according to measuring the Sun Sidereal day = day according to measuring the stars
24 Lecture Tutorials Break up into group of 2-3 NO MORE THAN THREE, NO SINGLES In your group, work through the following: Seasonal Stars (pages 7-9) Solar vs. Sidereal Day (pages 11-12) Discuss the answers don t be silent! Mark, Dan, (Jacquelyn,) and I will be roaming around if you need help If your group finishes, check your answers with another group.
25 Today s plan 1. Review of Wednesday s think-pair-share 2. Quick summary of we ve done with the last two LTs, and a setup for the next one 3. Ecliptic lecture tutorial 4. Quiz
26 After seeing Taurus at its highest position in the sky at midnight, in how many months will Virgo appear low in the western sky at midnight? A. 2 months B. 4 months C. 6 months D. 8 months (Refer to Figure 1 of the Seasonal Stars Lecture Tutorial)
27 Seasonal Stars How do the stars appear to move from night to night at a given time of night Solar vs. Sidereal Day What is physically happening to cause the night to night change? How might it be different if the Earth s orbit or rotation changed? Ecliptic putting together the last 4 LTs How does the daily motion of the Celestial Sphere (rotation of the Earth!) relate to the daily/monthly changes due to Earth s orbit?
28 Two depictions of the same thing, highlighting different features. One cautionary note: Both figures fail to accurately represent the relative sizes of Earth, Sun, you, and Earth s orbit. The constellations shown are only those in which the Sun will move through over the course of a full year the zodiac. The average line though them is the ecliptic.

33 Quiz 1. Write your name on a sheet of loose-leaf paper. (If you do not have loose-leaf paper, kindly ask for one from some one.) 2. In a short paragraph, answer the following question from your text: If the Earth rotated twice as quickly as it does now, what would be the difference in minutes between the solar and sidereal days? Explain how you got your answer. 3. When you are done, open your lecture tutorial book and review Part IV of the Ecliptic LT (pages 16-17). We will collect the quizzes after 5 minutes by having everyone pass them to the aisle.
34 Where to get help? SI sessions on Mondays & Wednesdays 6:30-7:30PM, PS 132 Office Hours Tuesdays, 4-5PM Wednesdays, 2-3PM Fridays, 2:30-3:30PM Each other Lecture slides and copies of labs available on course web site (need to revise Schedule) Free public lecture Einstein s General Relativity by Dr. Kip Thorn, 7:30-9PM, CR222
35 Celestial equator defined by Earth s rotation Ecliptic defined by Earth s orbit On a daily basis, everything moves with the celestial sphere (i.e., the sky) cf. Motion LT parallel to the celestial equator. In addition to this motion, the Sun slowly creeps along the ecliptic, about a degree a day. We ll come back to this when we look at why we have seasons (outside of California). For now, let s take a break from Celestial Spheres and consider the Phases of the Moon
36 Phases of the Moon NOT TO SCALE!!! We are hovering waaaaay above the North Pole, looking down. Phases caused by motion of Moon around the Earth, and the relative alignment of the Sun, Earth, and Moon. Phases go through ~1 cycle every moon-th, er, month. The Moon also rotates once in exactly the same time, so the same side always faces Earth all the time. We see the part that is facing us that is also lit up by the Sun. The dark part is NOT a result of Earth s shadow.
37 Phases of the Moon: Traxoline gibbous crescent waxing waning Side facing us Side facing away from us
38 Lecture Tutorials Break up into group of 2-3 NO MORE THAN THREE, NO SINGLES In your group, work through the following: The Cause of Moon Phases (pages 79-81) Predicting Moon Phases (pages 83-85) Discuss the answers don t be silent! MarkDan, Jacquelyn, and I will be roaming around if you need help If your group finishes, check your answers with another group.
39 Today s plan 1. Mini-lecture A. Review of Quiz question B. The Path of the Sun 2. Lecture tutorial (The Path of the Sun) 3. Think-pair-share
40 Quiz Question Review If the Earth rotated twice as quickly as it does now, what would be the difference in minutes between the solar and sidereal days? Explain how you got your answer. Currently Solar day = 24 hours, ~ 361 degree rotation Sidereal day = 360 degree rotation, x min. shorter x min. needed to rotate extra degree Earth rotates twice as fast, orbit around Sun unchanged Solar day = 12 hours, ~361 degree rotation Sidereal day = 360 degree rotation Half as long to rotate extra degree
41 Until now, we have used the fact that the average position of the Sun is on the celestial equator Half of circle above/below horizon Rises due east, 6AM Sets due west, 6PM The Sun actually creeps along the ecliptic Equinox: when the Sun is at the intersection of the ecliptic and celestial equator (March 21, September 22) Solstice: when the Sun is farthest from the celestial equator (June 21, December 21), 23.5 degrees

MarkDan, Jacquelyn, and I will be roaming around if you need help If your group finishes, check your answers with another group.
44 Think Pair Share!
45 For an observer in the continental U.S., which of the three shadow plots, show below, correctly depicts the Sun s motion for one day? A. Shadow plot A B. Shadow plot B C. Shadow plot C D. All three plots are possible, on different days of the year.
46 Today s plan 9/18 Seasons Next week: Gravity In two weeks: Midterm Exam 1
47
48 Which of these are true and which are false and what evidence is there to support your answer? A = true, B = false Earth is closer to the Sun in summer than it is in the winter. When it is summer, the Sun is giving off more energy and when it is winter the Sun is giving off less energy. When it is summer, more sunlight reaches Earth than it does during the winter.
49 How long does the Sun have to warm the ground? How effectively can it heat a given patch of ground?
50 The tilt of Earth s axis of rotation produces longer (or shorter) hours of more (or less) direct sunlight Drawing not to scale
51 Lecture Tutorials Break up into group of 2-3 NO MORE THAN THREE, NO SINGLES In your group, work through the following: Seasons (pages 91-96) Discuss the answers don t be silent! MarkDan, Jacquelyn, and I will be roaming around if you need help If your group finishes, check your answers with another group.
