Seasons

What does earth's constant rotation cause us to experience? The constant rotation causes day and night. How long does it take earth to complete one rotation? One complete rotation takes 24 hours or 1 day From which direction does the sun rise? The sun rises in the east. From which direction does the sun set? The sun sets in the west. What do you think would happen if the Earth stopped rotating? I think that if the Earth stopped rotating we would be stuck in day or night forever. How could that affect human life?We may freeze to death from not having sunlight or we would all be burnt to a crisp. That is unless we were caught in sunrise or sunset.

Key Concept about Earth's rotation:
 * It is what causes night and day
 * It rotates once per day or every 24 hours
 * It rotates at 1,000 miles per hour
 * We can not feel it because of Earth's gravitational pull

What poles does the Earth's axis run through? The poles the axis run through are north and south. What do you notice about the Earth's position when the axis appears? I notice that the earth is tilted. What two hemispheres does the equator divide the earth into? The two hemispheres divide the earth into a northern heimsphere and southern hemisphere.

concentrated and was warm. || The light spread out all over my hand and was not very warm. ||
 * The light was much more

Key Concept: Which produces more heat? Which produces less? Direct sunlight porduces more heat. Indirect sunlight causes less heat.

Is the Earth's tilt always pointing the the right or the left? The left, or north to be more spacific.

Northern Hemisphere


 * winter || spring || summer || fall ||
 * indirect || equal || direct || equal ||

Southern Hemisphere


 * winter || spring || summer || fall ||
 * indirect || equal || direct || equal ||

Do the Northern and Southern Hemispheres ever experience the same season? Yes, but they have them at different times of the year. What do you notice about their seasons? They happen at oppisite times. (example when it's winter here it's summer in Austrailla.)
