Eureka Question 15
Why is it cold in the winter and
hot in the summer?
Draw the position of the Earth
in orbit around the sun during
each season.
The tilt of the Earth causes the seasons.
When the northern hemisphere is tilted toward the
sun, it is summer.
When the northern hemisphere is tilted away from the
sun, it is winter.

eclipse.
Describe what you see during a
lunar eclipse.
Answer
As the Moon
moves into the
Earth’s shadow,
the Moon is no
longer able to
reflect light
back to the
Earth, so it
looks like the
Moon is
disappearing
Eureka Question 19
Draw the positions of the
Earth and the moon during
high tide.
How many high and low tides
are there each day?
In general, there are 2 high tides
and 2 low tides everyday.
Draw the diagram below
Eureka Question 20
What influences does
the Sun have on the
tides?
When the Sun, Moon, and Earth
are in line, high tides are the
highest, and low tides are the
lowest. These are called
spring tides.
When at right angles,
the tide heights are
‘tempered’ or lessened.
These are called neap tides.
