  3. Solar Eclipse • The blocking of sunlight by the moon as the moon passes between the sun and the earth.

  4. Rotation • One full spin of an object around an axis; the rotation of the Earth causes day and night.

  5. Revolution • The movement of one object around an axis; the revolution of the Earth around the sun causes the seasons.

  6. Lunar Eclipse • The darkening of the moon as it passes through the earth’s shadow.

  7. New Moon • The moon is between the Earth and the sun; the sunlit side of the moon faces away.

  8. First Quarter • One week after the new moon; half of the moon’s sunlit side of the moon faces away.

  9. Full Moon • Two weeks after the new moon; the whole sunlit half of the moon faces the earth.

  10. Last Quarter • Three weeks after the new moon; half of the sunlit side of the moon faces the Earth.

  11. Moon Phases • The positions of the moon in its orbit around the Earth

  12. Earth • The third planet from the sun; the planet where we live.

  13. Axis • An imaginary line through a spinning object; the Earth rotates on its axis.

  14. Season • One of the four periods of the year- spring, summer, fall, and winter.

  15. Planet • A large body of matter revolving around the sun.

  16. Ellipse • The shape of a circle that has been flattened a little.

  17. Waxing • The moon phases leading up to a full moon.

  18. Waning • The moon phases after the full moon.

  19. NASA • National • Aeronautics and • Space • Administration

  20. NOAA • National • Oceanic and • Atmospheric • Administration

  21. Aristotle • The ancient philosopher who believed that the universe was a sphere with the Earth at its center.

  22. Copernicus • Established the theory that the Earth revolved around the sun.

  23. Ptolemy • Believed that the planets and the Sun orbited around the Earth.
