Astronomy

Dive into the fundamentals of astronomy with a focus on geocentric and heliocentric models. Discover how Ptolemy's concept of an Earth-centered universe contrasts with Copernicus's revolutionary sun-centered model. Learn about the astronomical units (AU) that measure distances in space, specifically the average distance from the Earth to the Sun, approximately 93 million miles. Engage in interactive activities to reinforce your understanding, including the Solar System wrap-up, where you can test your partner's knowledge on key concepts.
