Big Ideas
- The relationship between Earth and Sun drives weather and climate patterns on Earth.
- Annual changes in Earth's orbit and position relative to the Sun result in varying weather conditions and long-term climate trends.
Essential Questions
- How do annual changes in Earth's position relative to the Sun affect weather conditions?
- In what ways do Earth's movements influence different climates around the world?
- What is the connection between the Earth's tilt, orbit, and seasonal changes?
- How do weather conditions differ from climate, and how are both affected by Earth-Sun relationships?
- What are some examples of weather or climate patterns that can be explained by Earth-Sun interactions?
