All 25 Terms
| | Term | Definition |
|---|---|---|
| |
Universe | everything that exists in this place about 15 billion years old |
| |
Radiation and Red Shift | 2 pieces of evidence for the big bang theory |
| |
Geocentric Model | The model in which everything revolves around the earth |
| |
Problems with Geo | Explain Retrograde motion, brightness of the planets (epicycle on the defrent) |
| |
Heliocentric Model | Everything rotates around the sun, earth rotates |
| |
Rotation Evidence | Focault Pendulum, Coriolis effect |
| |
Revolution Evidence | Seasons and constellations |
| |
Focault Pendulum | due to the rotation of earth this object swings in different directions at different times |
| |
Coriolis Effect | North ,right and south ,left, rotation of winds, curved airplanes |
| |
perihelion | Jan 1 closest to sun or foci, fast, kinetic |
| |
aphelion | July 1 farthest from the sun or foci, slow, potential |
| |
Moon Phases | cause by revolution, 29.5 days full to full, 27.3 around |
| |
Tides | rise and fall of oceans waters due to the gravitation pull of earth sun and moon |
| |
Spring | Highest high tide |
| |
Neap | Lowest Low tide |
| |
12 | the time between two highs or lows |
| |
Eclipse | When one celestial object covers another |
| |
Weight | measure of gravity on an object |
| |
Mass and Distance | Gravity depends on |
| |
satellite | any object that travels around another in space |
| |
inertia | keeps things going in the common direction it was put |
| |
centripital force | causes objects to stay in place while going in a circle (technically dont need a seat belt to stay in place, just for saftey) |
| |
Eccentricity | foci over major axis, how oval something is, closer to one |
| |
Elipse | our orbit is slightly oval making it an |
| |
gravity | the pull on an object to its surface |
