1)Write a paragraph describing the seasons in the northern and southern
hemispheres. Include any and all causes of seasons. Be thorough and include
details of the Earth's orbit, as well as what does and does not lead to seasonal
changes throughout the year.
2)a. the Sun
b. Jupiter
c. Neptune
d. Earth
e. Pluto
Rank the above locations, in order of heaviest to lightest
3)The tidal interaction between the Earth and the Moon produces heat (due to
friction), which is a form of energy. This fact has several serious implications for
the Earth/Moon system. Describe at least two of those implications
(you should be thinking about rotation and orbits).
4)Newtonian Gravitation is formulated as an inverse square law. What is an
inverse square law? What does this mean about how gravity works in terms of
distance?
5)What does the term "escape velocity" mean? What is the escape velocity from the surface of the Earth? Is this larger or smaller that the escape velocity of the
Moon?
6)Newtonian Gravitation is sometimes called "mutual universal gravitation."
What is meant by "mutual" and "universal" in the context of gravity?
7)Why are there two high tides every day? Write a paragraph and be thorough.
