Earth, Moon and Sun

In Room 10 we have been learning how the Sun and the Moon affect us on Earth. We have learned that:

  • the moon takes 29 and 1/3 days to make one orbit around the Earth.
  • it takes the Earth 365.24 days to orbit around the Sun.
  • it takes 24 hours for the Earth to rotate once on its axis
This is why we have years, months and days.

We had a play with balls to show how the Earth, Sun and Moon are related.
Staring:
Sam: Sun
Peter: Moon
Kaea: Earth
