The document describes Earth's rotation and revolution around the sun and how it causes the seasons. It states that Earth rotates on its axis over 24 hours, creating day and night, and revolves around the sun over 365 days, creating years. It also explains that Earth is tilted on its axis by 23.5 degrees and that the seasons occur due to whether the northern or southern hemispheres receive more direct sunlight from the sun throughout the year as Earth revolves.

The Solar System is composed of the Sun and the celestial objects which are gravitationally bound to it: planets, moons, dwarf planets and their four known moons, asteroids, meteoroids, comets, and interplanetary dust.
A "lunar eclipse" and a "solar eclipse" refer to events involving three celestial bodies: the Sun ("solar"), the moon ("lunar"), and the Earth. A lunar eclipse occurs when the Earth passes between the Moon and the Sun, and the Earth's shadow obscures the moon or a portion of it. A solar eclipse occurs when the Moon passes between the Earth and the Sun, blocking all or a portion of the Sun.

In addition to being the birthplace of humanity and the cradle of human civilization, Earth is the only known planet in our Solar System that is capable of sustaining life. As a terrestrial planet, Earth is located within the Inner Solar System between between Venus and Mars (which are also terrestrial planets). This place Earth in a prime location with regards to our Sun’s Habitable Zone.
Earth has a number of nicknames, including the Blue Planet, Gaia, Terra, and “the world” – which reflects its centrality to the creation stories of every single human culture that has ever existed. But the most remarkable thing about our planet is its diversity. Not only are there an endless array of plants, animals, avians, insects and mammals, but they exist in every terrestrial environment.

Synthetic Fiber Construction in lab .pptxPavel ( NSTU)
Synthetic fiber production is a fascinating and complex field that blends chemistry, engineering, and environmental science. By understanding these aspects, students can gain a comprehensive view of synthetic fiber production, its impact on society and the environment, and the potential for future innovations. Synthetic fibers play a crucial role in modern society, impacting various aspects of daily life, industry, and the environment. ynthetic fibers are integral to modern life, offering a range of benefits from cost-effectiveness and versatility to innovative applications and performance characteristics. While they pose environmental challenges, ongoing research and development aim to create more sustainable and eco-friendly alternatives. Understanding the importance of synthetic fibers helps in appreciating their role in the economy, industry, and daily life, while also emphasizing the need for sustainable practices and innovation.

How to Create Map Views in the Odoo 17 ERPCeline George
The map views are useful for providing a geographical representation of data. They allow users to visualize and analyze the data in a more intuitive manner.
The French Revolution, which began in 1789, was a period of radical social and political upheaval in France. It marked the decline of absolute monarchies, the rise of secular and democratic republics, and the eventual rise of Napoleon Bonaparte. This revolutionary period is crucial in understanding the transition from feudalism to modernity in Europe.

This is a presentation by Dada Robert in a Your Skill Boost masterclass organised by the Excellence Foundation for South Sudan (EFSS) on Saturday, the 25th and Sunday, the 26th of May 2024.
He discussed the concept of quality improvement, emphasizing its applicability to various aspects of life, including personal, project, and program improvements. He defined quality as doing the right thing at the right time in the right way to achieve the best possible results and discussed the concept of the "gap" between what we know and what we do, and how this gap represents the areas we need to improve. He explained the scientific approach to quality improvement, which involves systematic performance analysis, testing and learning, and implementing change ideas. He also highlighted the importance of client focus and a team approach to quality improvement.

2. Section Objectives
Identify what makes up the solar
system.
Describe how Earth moves in space.
Describe how Earth’s tilt, rotation, and
revolution around the sun cause the
four seasons.
3. The Solar System
Our solar system = 8 planets (including Earth) and
many smaller bodies, all orbiting the sun
4. A Tour Through the Rest of the
Solar System
Mercury Venus Earth Mars
The Big Picture - Comparing Planet and Star Sizes (2:34)
5. Disqualified: Poor Little Pluto!
FUN FACTS
Discovered in 1930
Since then, many other similar bodies
have been found, including at least one
asteroid - Eris - that is larger than Pluto
In 2006, astronomers classed Pluto and
Eris as dwarf planets
Some astronomers believe that Pluto
was once a moon of Neptune but it
somehow escaped into its own orbit.
Technically, Pluto's name is now
134340 after being declassified as a
planet.
Because of Pluto's irregular orbit, there
are periods of times when it is closer to
the sun than Neptune.
What Happened to Pluto? (3:31)
6. Elliptical
Orbits
Orbit: the path a planet or other object travels as it
rotates around the solar system
Orbits have an elliptical shape
Each planet or object takes a different amount of time to
complete its orbit
Earth: 1 orbit = 365 ¼ days (1 year)
Mercury: 1 orbit = 88 days (abt 3 mos.)
Pluto: 1 orbit = 250 years
7. Two Types of
Planets
Like Earth
Mercury, Venus, and Mars (also Pluto)
Solid and small
Few or no moons
Rotate or spin slowly
Like Jupiter
Huge balls of gas
Have many moons and/or rings
Spin rapidly
8. The Sun
About 93 million miles from Earth
Made mostly of intensely hot gases - as
hot as 27 million degrees Fahrenheit!
Light and warmth from the Sun makes
life on earth possible!
11. The Moon
Earth’s nearest neighbor
Orbits Earth every 30 days
Cold and rocky, no water or
atmosphere
Gives off no light
Light seen when the moon
“shines” is actually a
reflection from the sun!
First Moonwalk, 1969 (1:44)
12. Eclipses
A solar eclipse occurs
when the moon moves
between the sun and the
earth, thus completely
blocking out the sun for a
part of the planet
A lunar eclipse is when the
sun blocks the moon from
sight on earth
Solar Eclipse: Turkey,
2008 (2:22)
13. Earth’s Movement
Every planet rotates, or spins, on its axis
Axis: an imaginary line the runs through Earth’s
center between the North and South Poles
It takes 24 hours to finish a complete spin on Earth’s axis
24 hours = 1 day
As Earth spins, different parts of the planet are in light or
darkness
14. Earth’s Movement (cont.)
Earth orbits the
Sun once every
365 ¼ days.
365 days = 1 year
Every four years,
1 day is added
(¼+¼+¼+¼=1) as
Feb.29!
This is called a
leap year!
What is a Leap
Year? (3:58)
15. The Sun and the
Seasons
Earth is tilted 23 ½° (degrees) on
its axis
Seasons change as the Earth orbits
orbits around the Sun
When the Northern or Southern
Hemispheres receive DIRECT RAYS from the
Sun, they experience summer
When those hemispheres receive INDIRECT
RAYS from the Sun, they experience winter
This is why hemispheres have opposite seasons
Winter in the Northern Hemisphere = summer in the
Southern Hemisphere!
Reasons for the Seasons (2:18)
17. Solstices and Equinoxes
Four days mark the beginning of the four
seasons: Solstices and Equinoxes (5:53)
Summer Solstice (June 21)
North Pole is tilted toward the Sun
Sun is directly over Tropic of Cancer (23 1/2˚ N)
Northern Hemisphere - longest day, shortest night
(opposite in Southern Hemisphere)
Winter Solstice (December 22)
North Pole is tilted away from the Sun
Sun is directly over Tropic of Capricorn (23 1/2˚ S)
Northern Hemisphere - shortest day, longest night
(opposite in Southern Hemisphere)
Vernal (Spring) Equinox (around March 21) and
Autumnal (Fall) Equinox (around September 23)
Day and night of equal length
Sun shines directly over the Equator
