Also, state that gravity is the force which pulls objects toward the center of Earth.\rUnderstand that the force of gravity holds Earth and the other planets in orbit around the sun.\rState the importance of the sun, and the fact that life as we know it depends on the sun.\rExplain that the sun is made up of very hot gases with temperatures in the millions of degrees.\rState some of the characteristics of the moon including the fact that it is about 1/4 the size of Earth's diameter, has a dusty surface with plains and mountains, and has great temperature fluctuations.\rUnderstand that the moon does not generate its own light, but instead reflects light from the sun to Earth.\rExplain why the moon appears to have different shapes throughout the course of the month.\rIdentify the following phases of the moon: new moon, first quarter, full moon, and third quarter.\rDifferentiate between the processes of waxing and waning.\rCreate separate diagrams of a lunar eclipse and a solar eclipse. In each diagram label the sun, Earth, moon, and shadow.\rExplain that tides involve the regular rise and fall of ocean levels about every 121/2 hours.\rUnderstand that the gravitational interaction of the moon and Earth is responsible for the tides.\n
