EQUINOXES







Summary

The equinoxes are the length of day and night are equal. The earth revolution around the sun in orbit with ellipse shape. The revolution length for Earth around the sun is one year, 365days. The equator separates the earth to north and south hemisphere. Axis tilt make earth has different seasons among the year, that including summer, winter,fall and spring. the spring equinox is when sun crosses the earth equator on march 21 or 22, the length of day and night are equal. Fall equinox is on september 22 or 23, the length of day and night are also equal. The equinox is occur  two times of year, and that cause by the earth axis' tilt and distance of sun is not always same.


Critical Thinking question

How is Earth affected by movement (revolution)?
 Season is effect by earth movement because when the Earth moves around the sun in an oval shape, the distance between the sun and the earth occurs different climate during a year. Tides are effect by the moon around the earth because the gravity of the moon pull the ocean water around it.

Reflection

 What did you enjoy most about this project and why?
I most like the part of taking the video and cutting the supplies during this project because it's fun and easy.

What was most challenging for you during this project and why?
The most challenging part of this project is write a full page of essay about my topic because it's exhausting to revise it again and again.

What new skills did you learn from doing this project?
I learn that Equinox is cause by Earth's axis's tilt and revolved around the sun in an oval shape's orbit.

Is there anything that you could have done to improve any of your work? Explain.
Yeah, to write more details in essay.
