Earth and Space

Earth rotates and orbits the Sun; the Moon orbits Earth. Models help explain regular patterns and large-scale systems.

What to remember

  • Earth rotates once each day approximately.
  • Earth orbits the Sun over about one year.
  • The Moon orbits Earth.
  • Gravity helps govern orbital motion.
  • Models represent systems at large scales.

Key words

rotation — turning around an axis
orbit — path around another body
gravity — attractive force between masses
solar system — Sun and orbiting objects
model — representation of a system
How to use this drill: review the short notes when learning, then close them on later attempts and practise from memory. The rotating bank delays a full set repeat for 25 attempts on the same browser.
