Time’s Up
During a Solar Eclipse this type of tide occurs.
$100
Spring Tide$100
Time’s Up
This is the force that causes tides on the Earth
$200
The Moon’s gravitational pull
$200
Time’s Up
These kinds of tides occur during a 1st or 3rd quarter
moon$300
Neap Tides$300
Time’s Up
During Spring tides, the Sun, Moon, and Earth are
in this position$400
A line$400
Time’s Up
During these, tidal ranges are the smallest
$500
Neap Tides$500
Time’s Up
Only during this phase can Lunar Eclipses can be
seen.$100
Full Moon$100
Time’s Up
This kind of tide occurs during a solar eclipse
$200
Spring Tides$200
Time’s Up
This is why a solar eclipse occurs$300
Moon blocks out the Sun and casts a shadow on
the Earth $300
Time’s Up
This is the reason why eclipses don’t occur every
month$400
The orbit of the Moon is not in the same plane as the
orbit of the Earth$400
Time’s Up
This is the phase that occurs during a Solar
Eclipse$500
New Moon$500
Time’s Up
True or False: The Moon generates its own light.
$100
False$100
Time’s Up
This describes when the lit up portion of the Moon is
increasing in view$200
Waxing$200
Time’s Up
When the Moon’s left hand half is lit up when viewed
from the Earth$300
3rd Quarter$300
Time’s Up
This is the phase the Moon is in during a Solar Eclipse
$400
New Moon$400
Time’s Up
The light appears and grows when it is waxing
$500
Towards the left$500
Time’s Up
These happen because one hemisphere is the more tilted towards the sun
$100
Solstices$100
Time’s Up
The tilt of this imaginary line is what causes the
seasons$200
Axis of Rotation$200
Time’s Up
This is how long the time period is between the
spring equinox and the summer solstice
$300
Three months$300
Time’s Up
This occurs when both hemispheres are equally
tilted towards the sun$400
Equinox$400
Time’s Up
When the Northern Hemisphere is tilted
further away from the Sun’s light, this season
occurs$500
Winter$500
Time’s Up
A dark area on the Moon is still called this, even
though it’s not a body of water$100
Mare/Maria$100
Time’s Up
The Moon is made up of this kind of rock
$200
Igneous$200
Time’s Up
The Earth and the Moon have these three
structures in their interior$300
Crust, Mantle, Core$300
Time’s Up
This is the current theory on how the Moon was
formed$400
A large object hit the Earth and a drop of the Earth
cooled off and formed the Moon$400
Time’s Up
This is approximately how long the Moon’s core’s
diameter is$500
700 km/400 miles$500
Time’s Up
This is what has the same amount of sunlight at all
dtiemees$100
The Moon$100
Time’s Up
This is how old some of the surface rock of the Moon
is$200
4.5 billion years$200
Time’s Up
This is what has the same amount of sunlight
shining on it at all times$300
Equinox$300
Time’s Up
How far is the Moon from the Earth?
$400
138,000 miles$400
Time’s Up
What is the largest object in our solar system?
$500
The Sun $500
