• EARTH IN SPACE
Artist's concept of the solar system. Shown are the orbits of
the planets, Earth being the third planet from the Sun, and the
other planets and their relative sizes and distances from each
other and to the Sun. Also shown is the solar system as seen
looking toward Earth from the Moon.
Earth undergoes many different motions as it moves through
space. There are seven more conspicuous motions, three of
which are more obvious on the surface. Earth follows the path
of a gigantic helix, moving at fantastic speeds as it follows the
Sun and the galaxy through space.
• Eratosthenes calculated the size of Earth's
circumference after learning that the Sun's rays were
vertical at Syene at noon on the same day they made
an angle of a little over 7O at Alexandria.
– He reasoned that the difference was due to Earth's
curved surface.
– Since 7O is about 1/50 of 360O, then the size of
Earth's circumference had to be fifty times the
distance between the two towns. (The angle is
exaggerated in the diagram for clarity.)

Earth as seen from space.
• Shape and Size of the Earth
• The solar system is a disk shaped nebula with a
turning, swirling motion.
• Plane of the ecliptic
• Ancient Greeks though the Earth was round due to:
– Since a sphere was perfect as was the Earth, it made
perfect sense that the Earth should be a sphere.
– The Earth cast a circular shadow on the moon during a
lunar eclipse.
– As ships sailed away they were observed to disappear
over the horizon.
• The Earth is not round.
– It is now known that the Earth is not a perfect sphere.
– The Earth is actually oblate.
• Flattened at the poles.
• Has an equatorial bulge.

– The North Pole is slightly higher and the South Pole
slightly lower than the average surface
– The Equator has a bulge and the Pacific Ocean and a
depression at the Indian Ocean.
• Earth has an irregular, slightly lopsided, slightly
pear-shaped form. In general, it is considered to
have the shape of an oblate spheroid, departing from
a perfect sphere as shown here.
• Motions of Earth
• The position of the Sun on the celestial sphere at the
solstices and the equinoxes.
• Introduction
– The Earth has 3 motions that are independent of the
motion of the Sun and the Galaxy
• The Earth has a yearly rotation around the Sun
• The Earth rotates on its axis once approximately
every 24 hours.
• The Earths axis wobbles slowly as it revolves.
• As is being demonstrated in this old woodcut, Foucault's insight
helped people understand that the earth turns. The pendulum moves
back and forth without changing its direction of movement, and we
know this is true because no forces are involved. We turn with the
earth and this makes the pendulum appear to change its plane of
rotation. Thus we know the earth rotates.
• The Foucault pendulum
swings back and forth
in the same plane while
a stool is turned beneath
it. Likewise, a Foucault
pendulum on the earth's
surface swings back
and forth in the same
plane while the earth
turns beneath it. The
amount of turning
observed depends on
the latitude of the
pendulum.
• Revolution
– Earth’s orbit is slightly elliptical and requires
approximately one year to complete.
– All points in the Earth’s orbit form a plant called the
plane of the ecliptic
– The average distance from the Sun to the Earth is 150
million km (about 93 million mi).
– The Earth moves fastest when it is closest to the Sun at
perihelion, in January, and moves slowest when it is
farthest from the Sun in aphelion, in July
– Solstices
• Summer Solstice
– Occurs about June 22
– The Sun at noon has the highest altitude.
• Winter Solstice
– Occurs about December 22.
– The noon Sun has the lowest altitude
• The consistent tilt and orientation of Earth's axis as
it moves around its orbit is the cause of the seasons.
The North Pole is pointing toward the Sun during
the summer solstice and away from the Sun during
the winter solstice.
– Equinox
• When the Sun is halfway between the Summer and
Winter Solstice
• At this time the Earth’s axis is perpendicular to line
between the center of the Sun and Earth and daylight
and night are of equal length.
• Spring Equinox
– Occurs on March 21
– Beginning of Spring
• Autumnal Equinox
– Occurs on September 23
– Beginning of Fall
• The length of daylight during each season is determined by
the relationship of Earth's shadow to the tilt of the axis. At
the equinoxes, the shadow is perpendicular to the latitudes,
and day and night are of equal length everywhere. At the
summer solstice, the North Pole points toward the Sun and
is completely out of the shadow for a twenty-four-hour day.
At the winter solstice, the North Pole is in the shadow for a
twenty-four-hour night. The situation is reversed for the
South Pole.
• Rotation
– We know that the Earth rotates due to
• The other planets rotate
• A pendulum changes its plane at different latitudes
• The observation of something moving above the
Earth’s surface, such as a jet.
– The rotation of the Earth causes the Coriolis Effect which
is an apparent deflection of moving objects to the right in
the Northern Hemisphere and to the left in the Southern
Hemisphere.
• The earth has a
greater rotational
velocity at the
equator and less
toward the poles. As
an object moves
north or south (A), it
passes over land with
a different rotational
velocity, which
produces a deviation
to the right in the
Northern Hemisphere
(B) and to the left in
the Southern
Hemisphere.
• Precession
– This is the slow wobble of the Earth on its axis
– Causes the Earth to swing in a slow circle like a top.
• A spinning
top wobbles
as it spins,
and the axis
of the top
traces out a
small circle.
The
wobbling of
the axis is
called
precession.
• The slow,
continuous
precession of
the earth's
axis results
in the North
Pole pointing
around a
small circle
over a period
of about
26,000 years.
• Place and Time
• Identifying Place
– The Earth’s axis identifies the north-south referent
– East west parallel circles on the Earth are called parallels
• The distance from the equator to a point on a parallel
is called a latitude.
– North south running arcs are called meridians.
• The Prime meridian is the referent meridian that runs
through Greenwich Observatory near London,
England.
• The distance from the prime meridian east or west is
the Longitude.
• Any location on a flat, two-dimensional surface is easily
identified with two references from two edges. This
technique does not work on a motionless sphere because
there are no reference points.
• A circle that is parallel to the equator is used to
specify a position north or south of the equator. A
few of the possibilities are illustrated here.
• If you could see to the earth's center, you would see that
latitudes run from 0O at the equator north to 90O at the North
Pole (or to 90O south at the South Pole).
• Meridians run
pole to pole
perpendicular
to the parallels
and provide a
reference for
specifying east
and west
directions.
• If you could
see inside the
earth, you
would see
360O around
the equator
and 180O of
longitude
east and west
of the prime
meridian.
– Some parallels are important for climate changes
• Tropic of Cancer
– 23.5ON parallel
• Tropic of Capricorn
– 23.5OS parallel
• Both of these are the parallels where the limit of the tilt of the
Earth toward the Sun is reached.
• Artic Circle
– 66.5 ON
• Antarctic Circle
– 66.5OS
• These two parallels identify the limits to where the Sun appears
above the horizon all day during the summer time
• At the summer solstice, the noon Sun appears directly
overhead at the tropic of Cancer (23.5(N) and twenty-four
hours of daylight occurs north of the Arctic circle (66.5(N).
At the winter solstice, the noon Sun appears overhead at the
tropic of Capricorn (23.5(S) and twenty-four hours of
daylight occurs south of the Antarctic circle (66.5(S).
• Measuring Time
– Daily time
• A sidereal day is 23 hours, 56 minutes, and 4 seconds
– This corresponds to the interval between two
crossings of the celestial meridian by a particular
star.
• A mean solar day is 24 hours long
• A sundial indicates the apparent local solar time at a given
instant in a given location. The time read from a sundial,
which is usually different from the time read from a clock,
is based on an average solar time.
– Yearly time
• The time required for the Earth to make one complete
revolution around the Sun.
• A tropical year is the time between two spring equinoxes
• A sidereal year is the time required for the Earth to move
around the Sun once.
– A sidereal year is 365.25636 mean solar days.
– This leaves about ¼ of a day per year unaccounted for.
– The Julian calendar accounts for this by adding a day every
4th year.
– The Gregorian calendar drops the leap year 3 out of four
century years.
• Because earth is moving in orbit around the sun, it must
rotate an additional distance each day, requiring about 4
minutes to bring the sun back across the celestial meridian
(local solar noon). This explains why the stars and
constellations rise about 4 minutes earlier every night.
• (A)During a
year, a beam of
sunlight traces
out a lopsided
figure eight on
the floor if the
position of the
light is marked
at noon every
day. (B) The
location of the
point of light on
the figure eight
during each
month.
• The path of the Sun's direct rays during a year. The Sun is
directly over the tropic of Cancer at the summer solstice and
high in the Northern Hemisphere sky. At the winter solstice,
the Sun is directly over the tropic of Capricorn and low in
the Northern Hemisphere sky.
• The difference in sundial time and clock time throughout a
year as a consequence of the shape of the earth's orbit. This
is not the only factor that causes a difference in the two
clocks.
• The difference in sundial time and clock time throughout a
year as a consequence of the angle between the plane of the
ecliptic and the plane of the equator.
• The equation of time, which shows how many minutes
sundial time is faster or slower than clock time during
different months of the year.
• The standard time zones. Hawaii and most of Alaska
are two hours earlier than Pacific Standard Time.
• The international date line follows the 180 O meridian
but is arranged in a way that land areas and island
chains have the same date.
• As the Moon moves in its orbit around Earth, it must
revolve a greater distance to bring the same part to
face Earth. The additional turning requires about 2.2
days, making the synodic month longer than the
sidereal month.
– Monthly time
• The current calendar divides the year into 12 months
(unequal)
• A sidereal month is about 27 ½ days which is the
time it takes for two consecutive crossings of any star.
• A synodic month is 29 ½ days which is the interval
between two new Moons.
• The Moon
• Composition and features
– Covered by 3 m of fine gray dust with microscopic glass
beads.
– Rocks are mostly basalt
– Contains a significant amount of radioactive materials
– Crust is about 65 km (40 mi) on the side that faces the
Earth and twice that thick on the side that faces away
from the Earth
– There is a molten core at about 900 km (600 mi) beneath
the surface.
• You can easily
see the lightcolored lunar
highlands,
smooth and dark
maria, and many
craters on the
surface of Earth's
nearest neighbor
in space.
• History of the Moon
– Origin Stage – 3 theories
• Fission theory
– Formed from part of the Earth that broke away
early in the Earths history
• Condensation theory
– Moon and Earth formed at the same time in the
solar nebula
• Capture theory
– Moon was captured by Earth’s gravitational field
after its formation.
– Molten Surface stage
• Heat melted the entire lunar surface
• Thought to have been heated by impact of rock
fragments
– Molten interior stage.
• Radioactive decay slowly heated the interior
• Light and heavy rocks separated during this time
• Molten lava flowed into the basins and formed the
maria that are seen today.
– cold and quite stage.
• Moon cooled and has changed little over the last 3
billion years.
• The Earth-Moon system
• (A)If the Moon had a
negligible mass, the center of
gravity between the Moon
and Earth would be Earth's
center, and Earth would
follow a smooth orbit around
the Sun. (B) The actual
location of the center of mass
between Earth and Moon
results in a slightly in and
out, or wavy, path around the
Sun.
• Phases of the Moon
– Result of the changing relative positions of the Earth, the Moon,
and the Sun as this system moves around the Sun.
– Full moon
• When the moon is on the dark side if the Earth.
• The moon is fully illuminated by the Sun and we see the
entire surface of the Moon
– New Moon
• When the Moon is on the lighted side of the Earth.
• The side of the Moon away from the Earth is illuminated
– First Quarter
• When the Moon is ¼ of the way around its orbit we see ½ of
its lighted surface
• The lighted part is shaped like an arc
– Last Quarter
• Same as the first quarter, but occurs between the full moon
and the new Moon.
• Half of the Moon is always lighted by the Sun, and half is
always in the shadow. The Moon phases result from the
view of the lighted and dark parts as the Moon revolves
around Earth.
• Eclipses of the Sun and Moon
– An eclipse is when the shadow of one object falls on the
illuminated surface of another.
– The Earth and moons shadows point away as a cone.
• The inner cone of this shadow is called the umbra
• The outer cone of this shadow is called the penumbra
– Total solar eclipse occurs when the umbra of the Moon’s
shadow falls on the Earth.
– An annular eclipse occurs when the umbra fails to reach
the Earth and the Sun forms a ring around the Moon.
– When the Earth, the Moon, and the Sun are lined up so
that the shadow of the Earth falls on the Moon it is called
a Lunar Eclipse
• Tides
– There is an intricate relationship between the motions of
the Moon and tides in the Earth’s oceans.
– The greatest range of tides occurs at full and new Moon
phases.
– The least range of tides occurs at quarter Moon phases.
– The time between two high tides or between two low
tides in 12 hours and 25 minutes which is ½ of the time
for passes of the Moon across the celestial meridian.
• The cusps, or horns, of the Moon always point away from
the Sun. A line drawn from the tip of one cusp to the other
is perpendicular to a straight line between the Moon and the
Sun.
• The plane of the Moon's orbit is inclined to the
plane of the Earth's orbit by about 5 O. An eclipse
occurs only where the two planes intersect, and
Earth, the Moon, and the Sun are in a line.
• People in a location where the tip of the umbra falls
on the surface of the Earth see a total solar eclipse.
People in locations where the penumbra falls on the
Earth's surface see a partial solar eclipse.
• Gravitational attraction pulls on Earth's waters on
the side of Earth facing the Moon, producing a tidal
bulge. A second tidal bulge on the side of Earth
opposite the Moon is produced when Earth, which is
closer to the Moon, is pulled away from the waters.

  • 1. • EARTH IN SPACE
  • 2. Artist's concept of the solar system. Shown are the orbits of the planets, Earth being the third planet from the Sun, and the other planets and their relative sizes and distances from each other and to the Sun. Also shown is the solar system as seen looking toward Earth from the Moon.
  • 3. Earth undergoes many different motions as it moves through space. There are seven more conspicuous motions, three of which are more obvious on the surface. Earth follows the path of a gigantic helix, moving at fantastic speeds as it follows the Sun and the galaxy through space.
  • 4. • Eratosthenes calculated the size of Earth's circumference after learning that the Sun's rays were vertical at Syene at noon on the same day they made an angle of a little over 7O at Alexandria. – He reasoned that the difference was due to Earth's curved surface. – Since 7O is about 1/50 of 360O, then the size of Earth's circumference had to be fifty times the distance between the two towns. (The angle is exaggerated in the diagram for clarity.)
  • 6. Earth as seen from space.
  • 7. • Shape and Size of the Earth
  • 8. • The solar system is a disk shaped nebula with a turning, swirling motion. • Plane of the ecliptic • Ancient Greeks though the Earth was round due to: – Since a sphere was perfect as was the Earth, it made perfect sense that the Earth should be a sphere. – The Earth cast a circular shadow on the moon during a lunar eclipse. – As ships sailed away they were observed to disappear over the horizon.
  • 9. • The Earth is not round. – It is now known that the Earth is not a perfect sphere. – The Earth is actually oblate. • Flattened at the poles. • Has an equatorial bulge. – The North Pole is slightly higher and the South Pole slightly lower than the average surface – The Equator has a bulge and the Pacific Ocean and a depression at the Indian Ocean.
  • 10. • Earth has an irregular, slightly lopsided, slightly pear-shaped form. In general, it is considered to have the shape of an oblate spheroid, departing from a perfect sphere as shown here.
  • 11. • Motions of Earth
  • 12. • The position of the Sun on the celestial sphere at the solstices and the equinoxes.
  • 13. • Introduction – The Earth has 3 motions that are independent of the motion of the Sun and the Galaxy • The Earth has a yearly rotation around the Sun • The Earth rotates on its axis once approximately every 24 hours. • The Earths axis wobbles slowly as it revolves.
  • 14. • As is being demonstrated in this old woodcut, Foucault's insight helped people understand that the earth turns. The pendulum moves back and forth without changing its direction of movement, and we know this is true because no forces are involved. We turn with the earth and this makes the pendulum appear to change its plane of rotation. Thus we know the earth rotates.
  • 15. • The Foucault pendulum swings back and forth in the same plane while a stool is turned beneath it. Likewise, a Foucault pendulum on the earth's surface swings back and forth in the same plane while the earth turns beneath it. The amount of turning observed depends on the latitude of the pendulum.
  • 16. • Revolution – Earth’s orbit is slightly elliptical and requires approximately one year to complete. – All points in the Earth’s orbit form a plant called the plane of the ecliptic – The average distance from the Sun to the Earth is 150 million km (about 93 million mi). – The Earth moves fastest when it is closest to the Sun at perihelion, in January, and moves slowest when it is farthest from the Sun in aphelion, in July
  • 17. – Solstices • Summer Solstice – Occurs about June 22 – The Sun at noon has the highest altitude. • Winter Solstice – Occurs about December 22. – The noon Sun has the lowest altitude
  • 18. • The consistent tilt and orientation of Earth's axis as it moves around its orbit is the cause of the seasons. The North Pole is pointing toward the Sun during the summer solstice and away from the Sun during the winter solstice.
  • 19. – Equinox • When the Sun is halfway between the Summer and Winter Solstice • At this time the Earth’s axis is perpendicular to line between the center of the Sun and Earth and daylight and night are of equal length. • Spring Equinox – Occurs on March 21 – Beginning of Spring • Autumnal Equinox – Occurs on September 23 – Beginning of Fall
  • 20. • The length of daylight during each season is determined by the relationship of Earth's shadow to the tilt of the axis. At the equinoxes, the shadow is perpendicular to the latitudes, and day and night are of equal length everywhere. At the summer solstice, the North Pole points toward the Sun and is completely out of the shadow for a twenty-four-hour day. At the winter solstice, the North Pole is in the shadow for a twenty-four-hour night. The situation is reversed for the South Pole.
  • 21. • Rotation – We know that the Earth rotates due to • The other planets rotate • A pendulum changes its plane at different latitudes • The observation of something moving above the Earth’s surface, such as a jet. – The rotation of the Earth causes the Coriolis Effect which is an apparent deflection of moving objects to the right in the Northern Hemisphere and to the left in the Southern Hemisphere.
  • 22. • The earth has a greater rotational velocity at the equator and less toward the poles. As an object moves north or south (A), it passes over land with a different rotational velocity, which produces a deviation to the right in the Northern Hemisphere (B) and to the left in the Southern Hemisphere.
  • 23. • Precession – This is the slow wobble of the Earth on its axis – Causes the Earth to swing in a slow circle like a top.
  • 24. • A spinning top wobbles as it spins, and the axis of the top traces out a small circle. The wobbling of the axis is called precession.
  • 25. • The slow, continuous precession of the earth's axis results in the North Pole pointing around a small circle over a period of about 26,000 years.
  • 27. • Identifying Place – The Earth’s axis identifies the north-south referent – East west parallel circles on the Earth are called parallels • The distance from the equator to a point on a parallel is called a latitude. – North south running arcs are called meridians. • The Prime meridian is the referent meridian that runs through Greenwich Observatory near London, England. • The distance from the prime meridian east or west is the Longitude.
  • 28. • Any location on a flat, two-dimensional surface is easily identified with two references from two edges. This technique does not work on a motionless sphere because there are no reference points.
  • 29. • A circle that is parallel to the equator is used to specify a position north or south of the equator. A few of the possibilities are illustrated here.
  • 30. • If you could see to the earth's center, you would see that latitudes run from 0O at the equator north to 90O at the North Pole (or to 90O south at the South Pole).
  • 31. • Meridians run pole to pole perpendicular to the parallels and provide a reference for specifying east and west directions.
  • 32. • If you could see inside the earth, you would see 360O around the equator and 180O of longitude east and west of the prime meridian.
  • 33. – Some parallels are important for climate changes • Tropic of Cancer – 23.5ON parallel • Tropic of Capricorn – 23.5OS parallel • Both of these are the parallels where the limit of the tilt of the Earth toward the Sun is reached. • Artic Circle – 66.5 ON • Antarctic Circle – 66.5OS • These two parallels identify the limits to where the Sun appears above the horizon all day during the summer time
  • 34. • At the summer solstice, the noon Sun appears directly overhead at the tropic of Cancer (23.5(N) and twenty-four hours of daylight occurs north of the Arctic circle (66.5(N). At the winter solstice, the noon Sun appears overhead at the tropic of Capricorn (23.5(S) and twenty-four hours of daylight occurs south of the Antarctic circle (66.5(S).
  • 35. • Measuring Time – Daily time • A sidereal day is 23 hours, 56 minutes, and 4 seconds – This corresponds to the interval between two crossings of the celestial meridian by a particular star. • A mean solar day is 24 hours long
  • 36. • A sundial indicates the apparent local solar time at a given instant in a given location. The time read from a sundial, which is usually different from the time read from a clock, is based on an average solar time.
  • 37. – Yearly time • The time required for the Earth to make one complete revolution around the Sun. • A tropical year is the time between two spring equinoxes • A sidereal year is the time required for the Earth to move around the Sun once. – A sidereal year is 365.25636 mean solar days. – This leaves about ¼ of a day per year unaccounted for. – The Julian calendar accounts for this by adding a day every 4th year. – The Gregorian calendar drops the leap year 3 out of four century years.
  • 38. • Because earth is moving in orbit around the sun, it must rotate an additional distance each day, requiring about 4 minutes to bring the sun back across the celestial meridian (local solar noon). This explains why the stars and constellations rise about 4 minutes earlier every night.
  • 39. • (A)During a year, a beam of sunlight traces out a lopsided figure eight on the floor if the position of the light is marked at noon every day. (B) The location of the point of light on the figure eight during each month.
  • 40. • The path of the Sun's direct rays during a year. The Sun is directly over the tropic of Cancer at the summer solstice and high in the Northern Hemisphere sky. At the winter solstice, the Sun is directly over the tropic of Capricorn and low in the Northern Hemisphere sky.
  • 41. • The difference in sundial time and clock time throughout a year as a consequence of the shape of the earth's orbit. This is not the only factor that causes a difference in the two clocks.
  • 42. • The difference in sundial time and clock time throughout a year as a consequence of the angle between the plane of the ecliptic and the plane of the equator.
  • 43. • The equation of time, which shows how many minutes sundial time is faster or slower than clock time during different months of the year.
  • 44. • The standard time zones. Hawaii and most of Alaska are two hours earlier than Pacific Standard Time.
  • 45. • The international date line follows the 180 O meridian but is arranged in a way that land areas and island chains have the same date.
  • 46. • As the Moon moves in its orbit around Earth, it must revolve a greater distance to bring the same part to face Earth. The additional turning requires about 2.2 days, making the synodic month longer than the sidereal month.
  • 47. – Monthly time • The current calendar divides the year into 12 months (unequal) • A sidereal month is about 27 ½ days which is the time it takes for two consecutive crossings of any star. • A synodic month is 29 ½ days which is the interval between two new Moons.
  • 49. • Composition and features – Covered by 3 m of fine gray dust with microscopic glass beads. – Rocks are mostly basalt – Contains a significant amount of radioactive materials – Crust is about 65 km (40 mi) on the side that faces the Earth and twice that thick on the side that faces away from the Earth – There is a molten core at about 900 km (600 mi) beneath the surface.
  • 50. • You can easily see the lightcolored lunar highlands, smooth and dark maria, and many craters on the surface of Earth's nearest neighbor in space.
  • 51. • History of the Moon – Origin Stage – 3 theories • Fission theory – Formed from part of the Earth that broke away early in the Earths history • Condensation theory – Moon and Earth formed at the same time in the solar nebula • Capture theory – Moon was captured by Earth’s gravitational field after its formation.
  • 52. – Molten Surface stage • Heat melted the entire lunar surface • Thought to have been heated by impact of rock fragments – Molten interior stage. • Radioactive decay slowly heated the interior • Light and heavy rocks separated during this time • Molten lava flowed into the basins and formed the maria that are seen today. – cold and quite stage. • Moon cooled and has changed little over the last 3 billion years.
  • 54. • (A)If the Moon had a negligible mass, the center of gravity between the Moon and Earth would be Earth's center, and Earth would follow a smooth orbit around the Sun. (B) The actual location of the center of mass between Earth and Moon results in a slightly in and out, or wavy, path around the Sun.
  • 55. • Phases of the Moon – Result of the changing relative positions of the Earth, the Moon, and the Sun as this system moves around the Sun. – Full moon • When the moon is on the dark side if the Earth. • The moon is fully illuminated by the Sun and we see the entire surface of the Moon – New Moon • When the Moon is on the lighted side of the Earth. • The side of the Moon away from the Earth is illuminated – First Quarter • When the Moon is ¼ of the way around its orbit we see ½ of its lighted surface • The lighted part is shaped like an arc – Last Quarter • Same as the first quarter, but occurs between the full moon and the new Moon.
  • 56. • Half of the Moon is always lighted by the Sun, and half is always in the shadow. The Moon phases result from the view of the lighted and dark parts as the Moon revolves around Earth.
  • 57. • Eclipses of the Sun and Moon – An eclipse is when the shadow of one object falls on the illuminated surface of another. – The Earth and moons shadows point away as a cone. • The inner cone of this shadow is called the umbra • The outer cone of this shadow is called the penumbra – Total solar eclipse occurs when the umbra of the Moon’s shadow falls on the Earth. – An annular eclipse occurs when the umbra fails to reach the Earth and the Sun forms a ring around the Moon. – When the Earth, the Moon, and the Sun are lined up so that the shadow of the Earth falls on the Moon it is called a Lunar Eclipse
  • 58. • Tides – There is an intricate relationship between the motions of the Moon and tides in the Earth’s oceans. – The greatest range of tides occurs at full and new Moon phases. – The least range of tides occurs at quarter Moon phases. – The time between two high tides or between two low tides in 12 hours and 25 minutes which is ½ of the time for passes of the Moon across the celestial meridian.
  • 59. • The cusps, or horns, of the Moon always point away from the Sun. A line drawn from the tip of one cusp to the other is perpendicular to a straight line between the Moon and the Sun.
  • 60. • The plane of the Moon's orbit is inclined to the plane of the Earth's orbit by about 5 O. An eclipse occurs only where the two planes intersect, and Earth, the Moon, and the Sun are in a line.
  • 61. • People in a location where the tip of the umbra falls on the surface of the Earth see a total solar eclipse. People in locations where the penumbra falls on the Earth's surface see a partial solar eclipse.
  • 62. • Gravitational attraction pulls on Earth's waters on the side of Earth facing the Moon, producing a tidal bulge. A second tidal bulge on the side of Earth opposite the Moon is produced when Earth, which is closer to the Moon, is pulled away from the waters.
