- What Causes to have seasons:
We have seasons because the earth has a tilt of 23.5 degres and earth turns around the sun. When it is winter in America it is summer in Australia because at this time the Northern emisphere is a little closer to the sun and gets more energy from the sun. Look at the diagramm above and at the fantastic video below.

3. How long does it take for the earth to rotate on its axis:
The time it takes the earth to rotate on its axis is about 24 hours or 1 day.
4. Can you explain a solar eclipse?
The moon goes around the earth. The earth goes around the sun. When the moon is in perfect alignment and in between earth and sun, it creates a solar eclipse.

This diagram is from one of my french books I received from one of my aunt after a lunar eclipse I saw in summer 2009 at her house in Bordeaux: Eclipses.
Sun eclipse in Paris: July 1999
5. Why do we have daytime and nightime?
We have night and day because the earth rotates every 24 hours. When one half of our planet is facing the sun the other half in the dark

Alejandro, I am VERY impressed with this blog post! This is absolutely wonderful. I enjoyed all the information that you included for your answers. I liked the video, the images and your words. It is clear that you understand the relationship of the Sun, Earth & Moon and can explain yourself thoroughly. I'll encourage the class to go to your blog to see how fantastic your work is. Great job! Five stars! Whooo hooo!
ResponderEliminarI am very interested in the information you put for your homework. It was very good that you used books to help you with your research and everything is very colourful and especially the amount of pictures you put in. The explanation for the solar eclipse wasn't very specific and i don't think that the word 'alignment' is in your own words but i think everything else is very interesting to read and I like the question you put in.

ResponderEliminarAlejandro,
ResponderEliminarYour work is fantasic. I liked the idea of putting pictures related to your answer. You explained alot in this post, and i understood stuff that i didn't even know before. I also liked how you wrote which books you used. I thought the picture you drew was very interesting, and i thought the same thing when i read the caption underneath it. I just didn't understand what inclination means.
Thank you,
Najwa.
