SUMMARY !!!
► Solstices happens twice each year, is when the Sun reaches the highest position seen from the North or South Pole. Equinox is when it's the same amount of time (12h-12h) day and night and the Sun is crossing te Equator. On Earth's orbit, there are two different solstices and equinoxes. Which are Winter Solstices, Summer Solstice, Autumnal Equinox and Spring/Vernal Equinox. Winter Solstices is the day that comes the winter, it occurs in December 22 and have the least amount of sunlight in the whole year around and have undirect sunlight. Summer Solstice is the season of summer, it occurs on June 21-22 and have the longest amount of sunlight and have direct sunlight. Autumnal Equinox is the day of fall and is the shortest period of sunlight at the Pole and it occurs in September 22. Spring/Vernal Equinox is a longest period of sunlight at the Pole and is equal day and equal night.

CRITICAL THINKING !!!
How is Earth affected by movement (revolution)?
The movements of Earth and Moon affects Earth in differents ways. For examplo the moon phases causes the water level on Earth to go up and down, which we call the tidess. As Earth revolves around the Sun, it causes seasons and tides. The Earth revolution takes about 365 days and rotation on its axis is about 24 hours. Also because the earth is tilted, the earth gets different types of sunlight from the sun which are the indirect sunlight and direct sunlight. Days and nights are almost equal at the equator. The revolution of the earth results in changes of the seasons, different times of the year which I means in some part is night and another is day.

REFLECTION !!!
►
1. What did you enjoy most about this project and why?
A: What did I enjoy most about this project is when we was recording the video. It was fun! Because I was the speaker on the video.
2. What was most challenging for you during this project and why?
A: What was most challenging for me during this project it was that supposed to have 3 members in this group but it was 2 and our work was kind messed up a little in the begining but we pass through it. Because one of my group mate was absent the whole time.
3. What new skills did you learn from doing this project?
A: What new skills did I learned from doing this project it was to speak more clear and louder on the video.
4. Is there anything that you could have done to improve any of your work? Explain.
Yeah. I will try to don't get sick on the days that have Earth Science Class. Because, I had so much less time to finish my works.
