Planets $100
What are the
nicknames for the
inner vs. outer
planets?
Planets $100
Inner Planets: Rocky
Planets
Outer Planets: Gas Giants
Planets $200
What are the inner
planets in order
from the sun?
Planets $200
Mercury, Venus,
Earth, and Mars
Planets $300
What are the outer
planets in order
from the sun?
Planets $300
Jupiter, Saturn,
Uranus, and
Neptune
Planets $400
What are 2 ways
could we draw the
solar system? Tell
some pros and cons
of each.
Planets $400
Orbital and Linear;
Orbital shows that the sun is in the
center of our solar system and linear
does not; Linear is easier to draw;
Orbital shows the revolving/ path of
the planets
Planets for $500
1. Why don't all planets
have 24 hours in a
day?
2. 365 hours in a year??
Planets for $500
1. Different DAYS: each planet rotates on it’s axis
at different speeds so some planets have shorter
or longer days than Earth.
2. Different YEARS: A planet’s distance from the
sun determines a planet’s year. The closer a
planet is from the sun – shorter their year;
farther away a planet is from the sun – longer
year year.
The Sun for $100
What is the star at
the center of our
solar system called?
The Sun for $100
The sun
The Sun for $200
What force keeps the
planets in orbit
around the sun?
The Sun for $200
Gravity
The Sun for $300
What do the sun,
Earth, and moon
have in common?
The Sun for $300
They are all spheres, have gravity
(but of course different amounts of
gravity), all have atmospheres
(Earth’s atmosphere is the only
one to support life though)…
The Sun for $400
What are sunspots?
The Sun for $400
These are the dark
areas that are cooler
than the rest of the
sun’s surface.
The Sun for $500
Could we live without
the sun in our solar
system? What
would happen?
The Sun for $500
NO! The sun provides energy for us,
we need the sun to make food,
keep us warm, keep the planets in
orbit…
What would happen? We’d die of
thirst/starvation, freeze, Earth
would be floating around in
space…a disaster! 
The Moon for $100
Dude, I just totally wiped
out on that gnarly wave.
BTW - what causes tides?
The Moon for $100
Ooooh ya…Dude, it’s
due to the moon
and sun’s
gravitational pull.
Whew.
The Moon for $200
Why would the same
object weigh more
on the Earth than on
the moon?
The Moon for $200
The moon has less
gravity/gravitational
pull than Earth.
The Moon for$300
What phase is the
moon in when it
travels between the
sun and Earth?
The Moon for $300
new moon
The Moon for $400
1. How long does it take
the moon to orbit around
Earth?
2. Name things the moon
orbiting helps with.
The Moon for $400
1. About 29.5 days/1 month
2. Lunar eclipse, solar
eclipse, phases of the
moon, daily low tides,
daily high tides (Surfs up,
Dude!)
The Moon for $500
Why does the moon
“glow” at night?
The Moon for $500
The moon “glows” due to the
reflection of the sun’s light!
R vs. R for $100
What is it called
when the moon goes
around Earth and
how long does this
take?
R vs. R for $100
Revolve
29.5 days/about 1
month
R vs. R for $200
What does Earth do
in 24 hours/daily?
R vs. R for $200
Rotate on its axis
**Full day occurrs when Earth does one
complete rotation**
R vs. R for $300
What does the earth
do in 1 year/365
days?
R vs. R for $300
Revolve around the
sun
*Every birthday means you lived another
revolution!
R vs. R for $400
What does the moon
do in about 29.5
days/1 month? This
is also the reason for
the moon’s phases!
R vs. R for $400
Revolve around earth
R vs. R for $500
How can 1 person be
seeing a sunset
while another
person is seeing a
sunrise at the same
moment on Earth?
R vs. R for $500
Earth’s Rotation on it’s
axis allows 1 person to see
a sunset while another
person is seeing a sunrise.
Misc. for $100
If a high tide starts at
2:30 p.m., when will
the next low tide
occur? Next high
tide?
Misc. for $100
Low tide: 8:30 p.m.
High tide: 2:30 a.m.
(about 6 hours pass between
low to high tide; about 12
hours pass between low to low
tide usually)
Misc. for $200
Describe the position of
the new moon in space in
relation to the sun, Earth,
and moon. Describe
where a full moon would
be.
Misc. for $200
New Moon: the sun is behind the moon; between
the Earth and the sun
Full Moon: when you can see the entire side of
the moon; when the Earth is between the sun
and the moon
Misc. for $300
1. Which object in space
will you have the least
amount of gravity on:
Sun, Earth, or Moon
2. Most amount of gravity?
Misc. for $300
1. Moon! The moon’s
mass/gravitational pull is 1/6
of Earth’s.
2. Most: SUN because it has the
most mass/gravitational pull
Misc. for $400
What times of day do
you see the biggest
shadows? Smallest
shadows?
Misc. for $400
Biggest shadows: early morning (sun rising from
the East) and late afternoon (sun setting in the
West)
Smallest shadows: around noon (sun is above
you/middle of the sky)
Misc. for $500
Which drawing below would best
represent the flagpole’s shadow at
5:00 p.m.? Why?
A
C
B
D
Misc. for $500
D
5:00p.m.
**Because the sun sets in the West
& the shadow will be longer the
closer it gets to sunset**
Grab Bag for $100
Your shadow changing
throughout the day depends
on:
A. Earth’s rotation
B. Moon’s orbit
C. Sun’s sky position
D. The way you’re facing the
sun
Grab Bag for $100
C. Sun’s sky position
Grab Bag for $200
What is the path that
a planet or moon
takes as it moves
around another
object called?
Grab Bag for $200
A revolution (or
orbit)
Grab Bag for $300
1. Are we in the Northern or
Southern hemisphere?
2. What do the Northern &
Southern hemispheres look
like on a map?
3. What does that mean in
regards to seasons?
Grab Bag for $300
1. We are in the Northern Hemisphere.
2. Northern Hemisphere is in the “top” half
of Earth; Southern Hemisphere is in the
“bottom” half of Earth
3. Places in the Northern hemisphere are in
the same season cycle while places in
the Southern hemisphere have opposite
season cycles as us.
Grab Bag for $400
1. What causes seasons
2. What position would the
Northern hemisphere
need to be during the
winter? Summer?
Grab Bag for $400
1.
The tilting of Earth causes season
change.
2.
Winter: Northern hemisphere tilts away
from sun (less direct sunlight)
Summer: Northern hemisphere tilts towards
the sun (more direct sunlight)
Grab Bag for $500
Name all 8 phases of
our moon and
describe how each
one looks in 10
seconds or less.
It’s a trick question. Go to the next slide.

Now go to game entitled “Moon
Phases – Be the Expert” and
play. Good luck!
