Rotation & Revolution

                                               ROTATION & REVOLUTION

Rotation: Rotation is the Earth's movement around the axis.
 Native Language ( French): Rotation.
Revolution: Earth's revolution is a complete orbit of the sun by the Earth, when it take one full year to go around the Sun.
Native Language ( French): R`evolution.

Axis: The axis is an imaginary line that separates the middle of the Earth.
Native Language ( French): Axe
Tilt: Tilt is when the Earth is "titled" about 23.5 degree from vertical straight and down lines.
Native Language ( French): Tilt
Orbit: The Orbit is the function of an object in space that is located around another object.
Native Language ( French): Orbite
Ellipse: An Ellipse is how the Earth orbits around the sun in the shape of an oval.
Native Language ( French): Ellipse
Equator: The Equator is an imaginary line that divides the Earth into two equal parts known as the Northern Hemisphere and the Southern Hemisphere.
Native Language ( French): Equateur
Time Zones: The Earth has 24 time zones and these lines are known as the Lines of Longitude.
Native Language ( French):  Fuseaux Horaires.
Earth Rotation: Earth's rotation is 24 hours in a clockwise motion. Its rotation give us Day and Night.
Native Language ( French): Rotation de la Terre.
365 Days: 365 days takes Earth to rotate on its axis one time.
Native Language ( French): 365 Jours.
                                                          
                                                               - SUMMARY-
     Rotation is the Earth's movement around the Axis. The Earth rotates on its axis one time in 365 days or 1 year. The Earth is always pointed at the star Polaris known as the North Star. The Earth's revolution is a complete orbit of the sun by the Earth, during one full year to go around the sun. The Earth is always titled to 23.5 degree.
 In our solar system the Earth is sometimes closer to the sun. 
Because like all other planets Earth is an Elliptical orbit around the sun. 
All the planets in our solar system travel 24 hours clockwise it gives    
Day and Night.
Because of Earth's four seasons Summer, Spring, Fall and Winter, 
occur during the time it takes to go around the sun. Seasonal 
weather patterns are shaped by the 23.5 degree tilt, 
our planets spin axis. 
The equator is the line that divides earth into to equal parts. 
Seasons are reversed in the two hemispheres known as the
Northern Hemisphere and the Southern Hemisphere.

    -CRITICAL THINKING QUESTION-
Answer: How is earth affected by movement ( revolution)?

  Earth's revolution takes 365 days or 1 year to revolve around the sun. As a result of Day and Night causing the exact movement of the Moon, Stars and Planets across the Celestial Sphere. Because Earth's rotation is eastward from west to east making the obvious rotation of the Celestial Sphere from east to west directions. Looking at Earth's tilt and Earth's orbit which is an Ellipse help give Earth Direct and Indirect sunlight that causes Earth's seasons. In order for Earth's rotation around the sun, our solar system is both moving with the Milky Way Galaxy and around the Galactic Core, which is the rational center of the Milky Way Galaxy.


-REFLECTION-
1). What did you enjoyed most about this project and why?
What I most enjoyed about this project was working with my skills and doing something beyond my imagination and exploring new things.
2). What was most challenging for you during this project?
What was most challenging for me during this project was planning the whole project and how it was going to look in video form.
3). What new skills did you learn from doing this project?
What new skills I learned was that you don't have to be talented or perfect to do things you just have to try your best and make the best out of yourself.
4). Is there anything that you would have done to improve any of your work? Explain.
 What I would do is go back and change my grammar and spellings and make sure I have the accurate and clear responses to all my answers.
