Earth's Orbit
All the planets in the solar system orbit (or move around) the Sun. When planets orbit the Sun, they don't move
around in a perfect circle. They all follow an "elliptical path”, meaning it looks more like an oval.
The Earth's orbit takes 365 days. This means it takes the Earth 365 days to completely go around the Sun. One
year is the time it takes for the Earth to orbit the Sun,
While the Earth orbits the Sun it is also spinning or rotating on its own axis. The axis is the invisible line that goes
straight down the Earth from the North to the South pole. It takes 24 hours (one day) for the Earth to rotate on
its axis. If we take a look at the Earth out in space, we will see that it doesn't sit up straight. It's slightly tilted. This
tilt means Earth is never the same distance from the Sun. Sometimes it's closer and sometimes it's further away.
To get a better understanding of these two movements, imagine you are spinning a basketball on your finger,
that's like the Earth spinning on its axis. Your finger is the axis. While you spin the basketball imagine walking
around somebody, the person you walk around is like the Sun. That's how the Earth moves in space! Spinning
on its axis and orbiting the Sun at the same time.
Fun facts
- The Earth moves about 67,000 miles per hour through space.
- The closest distance the Earth is to the Sun is called perihelion.
- The furthest distance the Earth is to the Sun is called aphelion.
- Because the Earth is tilted on its axis we have different seasons.

Resposta:
Todos os planetas do Sistema Solar orbitam ao redor do sol. Quando os planetas orbitam o Sol, eles não se movem em um círculo perfeito. Todos eles seguem um 'caminho elíptico', o que significa que se parece mais com um oval. Os alunos descobrem alguns fatos sobre a órbita da Terra com 8 perguntas para responder.
