9. The Earth is the planet where we live. To study it, we use two imaginary lines:
The axis crosses Earth through the centre and passes through the two
poles: the North Pole and the South Pole.
The equator divides Earth into two halves called the hemispheres: the
Northern Hemisphere and the Southern Hemisphere.
The Earth makes two types of movements: rotation (it rotates on its axis) and
revolution (it revolves or orbits around the
Sun).
Thanks to rotation, we have day time and
night time. Thanks to the revolution, we have
four different seasons: spring, summer,
autumn (fall) and winter.

the Earth?

The Earth's only …………………………. is a sphere of rock about
…………………………. times smaller than the Earth. There is no air or

…………………………. hit the surface of the Moon. There is also no wind or rain on
the Moon.
The Moon rotates on its …………………………., which takes 29.5 days.
Its …………………………. around the Earth also takes 29.5 days. Because of this, we
always see the same …………………………. of the Moon. The Moon does not produce
its own light; it …………………………. sunlight. Obviously, we can only see the
illuminated part that is facing the Earth. This is why when we look at the Moon on
different nights during the lunar …………………………., its shape changes. These
different shapes are called the …………………………. of the Moon.
Because the Moon is very big and quite close to the Earth, it produces certain effects
on our planet:
- It causes eclipses, which can be total or …………………………., when it is between
the Earth and the Sun.
- It causes …………………………., which are the rising and falling of the level of the
sea. This happens about every six hours.
