In Class 9/6/16

Earth to Moon Model

My Earth to moon model was not to scale. My Earth was substantially larger then the moon, which according to the in class discussion is incorrect. I also drew the moon to close to the Earth to have a proper model of the true distance between the Earth and the moon.

Reasons for the Seasons

The reason for the seasons is the Earths tilt on the axis.  The seasons change depending on how much sun light is hitting the Earth as it travels around the sun. 

After watching the video the concept of direct and indirect light became clear. When I stated the Earth was tilted on its axis effected the seasons, that depends on how the sun rays are hitting the Earth. 

The Phases of the Moons

There are different phases of the moon because the distance between the moon and the sun. The different angles in which the sunlight hits the moon effects the amount of the moon (phase) we can see.

I was correct.
