Earth's Revolution

Vocabulary:
公转 - Revolution : the Earth moves around the sun.
公转距离 - Revolution length : How long is the Earth revolves around the sun.
轨道 - Orbit : The way that planet should follow.
椭圆 - Ellipse : Shape of the Earth 's orbit.
星座 - Constellation : Something that made by stars in the Univense.
近日点 - Perihelion : Close to the sun.
远日点 - Aphelion : Far away from the sun.

Summary:
     The Earth moves around the sun all the time, it is called revolution. When the Earth moves around sun it also moves around by itself, it is called rotation. We have four different seasons caused by Earth revoluion. There are spring, summer, fall, and winter in each year.
     The Earth moves around the sun each time nedd 365.2 days, that's why we have 366 days in each fourth year, it it called revolution length.The shape of Earth's orbit is an oval, it is a shape called ellipse. This orbit causes the Earth to have hottest and coldest days (summer and winter). When the Earth close to the sun, the Earth can get more sunlight from the sun and the Earth getting hotter, that caused summer and it is called perihelion. Also when the Earth far away from the sun, the Earth get less sunlight from the sun. The Earth is getting colder, that caused winter and it called aphelion.The equator always got the most sunlight from the sun, since there is middle of Earth, which means equator always facing the sun. A constellation in universe is really important, it made by stars, which means the stars didn't move in the universe and that proves that the Earth is moving all the time.
     The Earth is keep moving around the sun to make it work normally. If the Earth stopped moving, it will cause the moon out of it's orbit, which means the Earth will end when it stop moving around sun and rotates by itself.

Critical thinking question:
How is earth affected by movement?
The shape of the Earth's orbit is an ellipse(oval). The four seasons caused by Earth's revolution. Also hottest and coldest days caused by the Earth's orbit.

Reflection:
1.What did you enjoy most about this project and why?
I enjoy nothing about this project, I already know most of things before doing this project.

2.What was most challenging for you during this project and why?
There is no challenging or problem during this project, because that was easy.
3.What new skills did you learn from doing this project?
There is no new skill that I learn from this project.
4.Is there anything that you could have done to improve any of your work? Explain. I think if I can spent more time on my eassy, that I can add more information into it, but I don't think I would like spent more time on eassy.
