RELATION BETWEEN THE

SUN, THE MOON AND THE
EARTH
Three Important
Celestial Bodies
The planets that revolve the Sun
are said be part of the Solar system,
which is in the Milky Way galaxy.
Planets and moons are always
moving orbiting the Sun.The most
importante for us are the Sun, the
Eartth and our moon.

The movements of the Earth

All the planets in solar system have a rotation and a

revolution, and the Earth is not an exception. The Earth
spends about 24 hours to rotate, to turn around its own axis.
The revolution of the Earth takes approximately 365 days,
this means that this planet does 365 rotations and one
revolution in the same amount of time. In addition to this,
the Earth also has a 23.5 degrees tilt, this fact causes the
seasons. Finally, the path that it follows is called the orbital
plane.

The Rotation and

Revolution of the Moon
The moon also rotates on its own axis
and revolves Earth however, these
movements take just over 27½ days.
Because of the pull off gravity between
Earth and the Moon, rotation and
The tides revolution of the moon match this is
called synchronous rotation.. Many

effect that the Moon has on the

ocean’s tides is significantly

stronger. The Moon attracts the
water of the ocean to itself, so every
twelve hours there are low tides and
high tides.
Lunar and Solar
Eclipses

As the Earth and Moon move through space,

they sometimes get lined up with the Sun,
this event is called eclipse. There are two
kinds of eclipses, lunar eclipses and solar
eclipses. A lunar eclipse occurs when the
Moon is in Earth’s shadow from the Sun. A
solar eclipse occurs when the Moon passes
between Earth and the Sun. During a lunar
eclipse, the light that the moon reflects has
a reddish cast, so the Moon turns a deep red.
During a solar eclipse, only people in a fairly
narrow path on the Earth can see a total
Conclusion eclipse.

The movement of these

celestial bodies help us mark
our days, months and years. It
almost is perfect to us.
