ROTATION - Spin on its internal axis 2. REVOLUTION - Orbit AROUND something WHAT DO YOU KNOW ABOUT THE EARTH’S ROTATION??? Earth’s Rotation 360° turn about every 24 hours 15° per hour 1° per 4 minutes Axis of rotation is tilted 23.5° Counterclockwise Who knows about Track??? Did you know… A person standing at the equator moves FASTER through space than a person standing at 60 degrees N Latitude. 0 degrees = 1674 km/hr 60 degrees N = 839 km/hr for Rotation DAY AND NIGHT SUNRISE AND SUNSET Rises in the East, Sets in the West! SUNRISE SUNSET Coriolis Effect “Bending of the Winds” Earth’s West to East rotation causes winds to travel across Earth to be bent clockwise (N.H.) or counter-clockwise (S.H.) Video Clip Pendulum • an object that is attached to a pivot which the pendulum can swing freely • Example: Grandfather Clock Léon Foucault Jean Bernard Léon Foucault was a French physicist best known for the invention of the Foucault pendulum, a device demonstrating the effect of the Earth's rotation. FOUCAULT PENDULUM Is… A free swinging weight that changes direction because of Earth’s rotation. Video Clip Its behavior… Shows how the Earth moves COUNTER CLOCKWISE beneath it. FOUCAULT PENDULUM Who knows anything about cameras??? Stellar Motion – Star Trails (counter clockwise): The appearance of Stars in the Northern Hemisphere to Rotate Counter Clockwise around the North Star (Polaris) under time lapse photography. Currently Polaris aligns with Earth’s Rotation Axis. Earth’s Revolution Counter Clockwise Length – 365.25 days •Why do we have a leap year??? Elliptical Orbit (oval shaped) •Sun is at one FOCUS point for Revolution Sun’s Apparent Change in Size Sun appears to change size based on its distance from Earth (closer = bigger) The Seasons Due to revolution and tilt of the Earth’s axis Apparent Motions of Constellations A group of stars that form a pattern appear to change position yearly in our night sky. A Year of Constellations SUMMER WINTER We see different constellations at different times of the year. The Winter Sky Constellations Which constellations are both visible at midnight to an observer in NYS when Earth is located at position D? 1. Aries & Taurus 2. Pisces & Libra 3. Leo & Virgo 4. Aquarius & Scorpio Exam Review 1. Earth’s rate of rotation is approximately (1) 1° per day (2) 15° per day (3) 180° per day (4) 360° per day 2. The change in the tides as shown on the graph is primarily the result of (1) Earth’s rotation and the Moon’s revolution (2) Earth’s rotation and revolution (3) the Moon’s rotation and Earth’s revolution (4) the Moon’s rotation and revolution 3. The best evidence that Earth rotates is provided by the (1) locations of mid-ocean ridges and distribution of index fossils (2) movement of Foucault Pendulums and the Coriolis Effect on the winds (3) pattern of changing seasons and the depth of meteor impacts (4) rate of U-238 decay and changes in atmospheric composition 4. Through what angle do the stars and planets seem to move in 2 hours? (1) 2 degrees (2) 15 degrees (3) 20 degrees Video Clip (4) 30 degrees
