| Question | Answer |
|---|---|
| Earth rotates on its tilted axis once an Earth day | True |
| The moon rotates on its axis approximately once a | month |
| The moon orbits Earth approximately once a year | False |
| The moon rotates on its axis at the same rate at which it orbits | Earth |
| The same side of the moon that faces Earth remains the same as it orbits. | True |
| The moon's orbital plane is tilted with respect to the plane of the Earth's orbit around the sun | True |
| Earth-moon system orbits the sun once an Earth | year |
| Solar energy travels in a straight line from the sun to Earth and the moon so that the side of Earth or the moon that faces the sun is illuminated. | True |
| The distance between Earth and the sun is greater in the winter. | False |
| Solar energy travels in a straight line from the sun and the different parts of the curved Earth at different angles--more directly at the equator and less directly at the | Poles |
| Solar energy coming from the sun bounces off of the moon and is viewed on Earth as the ______ part of the moon. | bright |
| The visible portion of the illuminated part of the moon (as viewed from Earth) changes over the course of a ___ as the location of the moon relative to Earth and the sun changes. | month |
| The moon appears to become more fully illuminated until "newl"and less illuminated until dark, or "full". | false |
| Solar energy is prevented from reaching Earth during a solar eclipse because the moon is located between the sun and Earth. | true |
| Solar energy is prevented from reaching the moon during a lunar eclipse because Earth is located between the sun and moon. | true |
| Because Earth's axis is tilted, the most direct and intense solar energy occurs over the _______months, and the least direct and intense solar energy occurs over the _________ months | summer, winter |
| Summer occurs in the Northern Hemisphere at times in the Earth's orbit when the northern axis of Earth is tilted toward the sun. | true |
| Winter occurs in the Southern Hemisphere at times in the Earth's orbit when the northern axis of Earth is tilted toward the sun. | true |
