5. -Nice neat notes that are legible and use indentations
when appropriate.
-Example of indent.
-Skip a line between topics
-Don’t skip pages
-Make visuals clear and well drawn.
12. • Real Scale of Earth and Moon
Earth
Moon
If you're measuring the center-to-center
distance from the earth to the Moon, the
distance would be
about 384,403 kilometers/238,857 miles.
13. • Real Scale of Earth and Moon
Earth
Moon
If you're measuring the center-to-center
distance from the earth to the Moon, the
distance would be
about 384,403 kilometers/238,857 miles.
Activity! If you want to see the size and scale
the earth could be a basketball and the moon
a tennis ball and the distance between the two
would be 6.4 meters or 21 feet.

– The nearly straight-line configuration of three
celestial bodies (as the sun, moon, and earth
during a solar or lunar eclipse) in a gravitational
system.

234. • In lunar calendars, a lunar month is the time
between two identical syzygies (new moons
or full moons).
– 1 lunar month = 29.53059 days
