Day+Night+Drawing

Labeling & coloring directions: 1. Sun * Label **__Sun__** and in parentheses write: **__a star which is a__** ** __luminous object__ **
 * __ DAY AND NIGHT DRAWING DIRECTIONS __**
 * Draw a picture showing the sun, earth and moon. It would be hard to make this drawing to scale but you should make the sizes of these 3 objects appropriate. Look on page 39 of the green Planetary Science book to get an idea of the size of the moon compared to the Earth. Look at the poster of the Solar System on the back bulletin board to get an idea of the size of the sun compared to the Earth.
 * Make your drawing take up a whole piece of paper.
 * Hold your paper horizontal not vertical
 * Anything **bolded** and __underlined__ should be written and labeled on your diagram.
 * __creating its own light through fusion.__ ** The Sun should be colored.

2. Earth (You may use your globe as a model)

* Draw in the imaginary axis (straw), remember the tilt which is 23.5º (just use your globe as a model to do this approximately) Tilt the North Pole away from the sun to represent winter.

* Label **__axis__**.

* Label **__Earth__**__, **North Pole**, **South Pole**__

* Draw and label the **__equator 0°.__** (Remember that this will also be tilted, check out the model)

* Show daytime/nighttime on earth by coloring appropriately.

* Label, draw and color appropriately **__daytime/nighttime.__**

* The Earth should be colored correctly.

* Show the direction the Earth rotates by using arrows. Use the information that you gathered from your Day/Night investigation. Label the arrows: **__Direction of earth’s rotation__** ** __W to E (counterclockwise)__ **

3. Moon

* Draw a moon

* Label **__moon__**.

* Wherever you draw your moon, the part that is facing the sun should also be colored to show daytime. But to make it different from the earth leave or color it white and make the unlit portion black.
