This document provides an overview of key celestial concepts for a physical science module, including definitions of the celestial north and south poles, celestial latitude and longitude, the ecliptic, and vernal equinox. It also instructs students to draw a model of the solar system illustrating Kepler's three laws of planetary motion with labels and figures.

Celestial North Pole 1. equivalent to the Earth’s north pole
Celestial South Pole2. equivalent to the Earth’s south pole Celestial Latitude 3. equivalent to the Earth’s latitude (northsouth location) Celestial Longitude 4. equivalent to the Earth’s longitude (east-west location) Ecliptic 5. path which the sun appears to take in the celestial sphere Vernal Equinox 6. point in which the ecliptic intersects with the celestial equator
Activity 1.1 Draw it
Draw a model of the solar system based on the Kepler’s Law of Planetary Motions. Write labels and figures to illustrate the three laws.
