Ch.8 Lesson 4
How Earth Moves
• ( Objectives )
• The student be able to :
• 1-Explore and make a model of
Earth to show how sun shines
on it.
• 2-Understand that Earth
rotates on its axis and this
cause day and night.
• 3-Understand that Earth
revolution causes the seasons.
(Vocabulary):
sphere
Rotates
Axis
Revolve
Orbit

Ch.8 Lesson 4
How Earth Moves
What causes Day and Night?
• It seems as if the Sun is
always moving across the
sky.
• It looks as if the Sun rises
in the East and sets in the
West.
• But The Sun doesn’t move.
(Vocabulary):
sphere
Rotates
Axis
Revolve
Orbit
3
Ch.8 Lesson 4
How Earth Moves
* Earth is shaped like a ball.
This shape is called a sphere
• Earth rotates = turn
• Earth rotation causes day
and night.
(Vocabulary):
sphere
Rotates
Axis
Revolve
Orbit

Ch.8 Lesson 4
How Earth Moves
• As Earth rotates, there is
daylight where Earth faces
the Sun.
• And darkness where Earth
is turned away from the
Sun.
(Vocabulary):
sphere
Rotates
Axis
Revolve
Orbit
5
Ch.8 Lesson 4
How Earth Moves
It takes 24 hours for Earth
to make one complete
rotation.
one complete rotation= 1 day
A day is made up of hours of
light + hours of dark.
(Vocabulary):
sphere
Rotates
Axis
Revolve
Orbit
6
Ch.8 Lesson 4
How Earth Moves
Earth spins or rotates around
its axis.
is an imaginary line
through the center of Earth
From the North pole to the
South pole.
* It is slightly
Tilted.
(Vocabulary):
sphere
Rotates
Axis
Revolve
Orbit

axis
Ch.8 Lesson 4
How Earth Moves
The tilt of Earth changes
how the Sun’s rays strike the
surface.
• At the poles the Sun
stays low in the sky during
the day the Sun’s rays
are weak it is cold
• At the equator the Sun
rises high in the sky the
Sun’s rays are stronger
• Temperature is higher.
(Vocabulary):
sphere
Rotates
Axis
Revolve
Orbit

Ch.8 Lesson 4
How Earth Moves
What causes Seasons?
• Earth also revolves around
the Sun.
when an
object moves around another
object.
(Vocabulary):
sphere
Rotates

revolves
Ch.8 Lesson 4
How Earth Moves
Earth travels in a regular
path called orbit
is the path that
an object follows as it
revolves around another
object.
It takes 365 ¼ days for
Earth to make 1 complete
revolution around the Sun.
(Vocabulary):
sphere
Rotates
Axis
Revolve
Orbit

Orbit
Ch.8 Lesson 4
How Earth Moves
In many parts of the world,
the year made up of 4
seasons.
Why?
Because of the Earth’s tilted
axis.
(Vocabulary):
sphere
Rotates
Axis
Revolve
Orbit
11
Ch.8 Lesson 4
How Earth Moves
* Having a tilted axis means
Earth slants a little as it
revolves around the Sun.
• Earth is always tilted in
the same direction.
• As Earth travels around
the Sun, the part tilted
toward the Sun changes.
•
(Vocabulary):
sphere
Rotates
Axis
Revolve
Orbit
12
Ch.8 Lesson 4
How Earth Moves
When the North pole tilted
toward the Sun the Sun travels
higher in sky . It is Summer.
When the North pole tilted away
from the Sun the Sun travels
lower in sky . It is Winter
(Vocabulary):
sphere
Rotates
Axis
Revolve
Orbit
13
Ch.8 Lesson 4
How Earth Moves
What about Fall and Spring?.
The North Pole is tilted
neither toward nor away
from the Sun.(Vocabulary):
sphere
Rotates
Axis
Revolve
Orbit
14
Ch.8 Lesson 4
How Earth Moves
How Does the Sun’s Path in
the Sky Change ?
During the Summer your
part of Earth tilted toward
the Sun The Sun’s path
appears higher in the sky.
During the Winter your
part of Earth tilted away
from the Sun The Sun’s
path appears lower in the
sky.
(Vocabulary):

Ch.8 Lesson 4
How Earth Moves
( Check for Understanding)
1-Describe the motion of
Earth that makes 1 day.
2-What would happen to the
seasons if Earth’s axis is not
tilted?
3-How are rotation and
revolution are different?

Rotating Revolving
Moving of Earth
around itself
through its axis.
Moving of Earth in
its orbit around the
Sun.
It takes 24 hours or
1 day
It takes 365 ¼ days
or 1 year
It causes day and
night.
It causes the 4
seasons.
