 * ** Earth and Space Science Part 4  **
 * Study Guide **
 * 1. A __satellite__ is an object that moves around another object in space. **
 * 2. The moon moves around Earth in a certain path or __orbit__. **
 * 3. The moon looks as __large__ as the sun because it is much closer to Earth. (The moon is __smaller__ than Earth and Earth is smaller than the sun.) **
 * 4. As the moon moves around Earth, different amounts of its __lighted__ side are visible. As the moon moves through its orbit, different amounts of its lit half can be seen from Earth. That’s why the moon seems to have different shapes, or __phases__. **
 * 5. The moon’s cycle of phases take just over __28__ days to complete. **
 * 6. The phases of the moon are named according to how they __appear__ on Earth **
 * 7. Just as the moon revolves around Earth, the Earth moves around the sun, therefore the Earth is a satellite of the sun. **
 * 8. The movement of Earth around the __sun__ is called its revolution. **
 * 9. It takes Earth 1 year or __365 days__ to complete a revolution. **
 * 10. As earth revolves around the sun it is also spinning around an imaginary line called an __axis__. **
 * 11. The axis runs through the North and South Pole. It takes 24 hours or one day for Earth to complete one rotation on its axis. This rotation causes day and night. **
 * 12. Due to the tilt of Earth’s axis and its movement around the sun, different locations on Earth receive varying amounts of direct __sunlight__, causing differences in length of day and nights. This causes __seasons__. **
 * 13. Example: January is a summer month in the __southern__ hemisphere but a winter month in the northern hemisphere because the southern hemisphere is pointed toward the sun in January but the Northern hemisphere is pointed __away__ from the sun. ** ||
