Study the terms and concepts listed below, both from your lab exercise and textbook. 4. Go over your pre-lab questions; use answer keys to study for quiz Key Terms and Concepts: Open System Closed System Isolated System Is the Earth and open, closed or isolated system, why or why not? What is the distance from the Earth to the moon? How long does it take the moon to revolve around the Earth? Waxing moon Waning moon Full Moon New Moon Aphelion Perihelion Which planet is closest to the sun? list the planets in order of increasing distance from the sun. Which planet is farthest from the sun? Which planet is the largest in the solar system? Which planet is covered in water? Which planet is the hottest planet? Define and calculate frequency and wavelength; how are they measured? What are their units? what is the speed of light in meters per second? list the colors of the visible light spectrum from shortest to longest wavelength. write the equation for velocity as a function of distance and time. How far is the sun from the earth in miles? How about kilometers? If you were traveling at the speed of light, how long would it take you to get from the sun to the earth? Can you sketch and identify the phases of the moon? Do you know the mechanics of the moon phases? Lunar orbital period? How long? Lunar rotational cycle? How long? Which way does the earth and moon rotate? How about revolve around the sun? Can you sketch and identify the seasons in relation to the Earth and Sun orientation?
