                         The Massive Movement Project


    Scientist has shown the earth is inside the sun by geocentric model the earth in center. Based on astronomy study.  Ptolemy  has  thought of this theory. Also scientist Copernicus  thought of the theory heliocentric model that the sun is in the center. However its shows that the sun is inside the solar system because the earth moves faster then the mars.

    The earth's motions affect us each day because of revolution which is the movement of one body around another such as the earth's orbit around the sun. The shape of the earth's orbit is ellipse.  It takes 365 and 6 hours long for earth to revolve one time around the Sun. Evidence such as the tilt and revolution proves the earth rotates. Rotation is when the movement of earth around its axis or imaginary line throught the earth with an axis tilt of 23.5 degree. Polaris it's important because the north axis always point tilt the star. The equator is a line that separated the earth half  into two hemispheres the northen and southern hemipheres. It takes the earth 24 hours to rotate on its axis each hour. This is proves by pendulum and coriolis effect that earth rotates.   

    The sun, moon and earth interacts by helping each other manage and keep the earth revolves and rotates. Revolution is one of the reason we have different seasons and time zones everywhere. Aphelion is fastest, perihelion is closest. Seasons isa change on earth weather based on earth position. The four seasons which are winter, spring, summer and fall happen cause of where the tilt axis is pointed. Direct sunlight is when the aix is pointed to the sun (summer) and Indirect Sunlight is when the axis is pointed near the sun (winter). Therefore there is no seasons at the equator because there is always direct sunlight.

    The sun, moon, and earth is one causes that effect the time zone we have. There are 24 times zones in the world that are divided in 15 degree by longitudes lanes. The international date line is a boundary formed where the 1st and 24th time zones meet. The greenwich mean time it's where time zone starts. All these changes makes the seasons has a date to come such as the winter solstice the day which is December 21 or 22 the sun reaches its lowest point in the sky. Also the summer solstice
the day which is June 21 or 22 when the sun reaches its highest point in the sky or earth.

    Equinoxes is when the sun is directly over the equator and the number of daylight and night time hours are equal worldwide. There is the vernal spring equinox in march and the autumnal equinox in september or october.

    The phases of the moon are affected by the movement of the sun and it also affect on how the moon itself and earth comes on earth. The moon phases is when the moon moves around of the earth and it needed 27/1 days. Waxing it's when the moon is getting bigger (2,3,4) and waning is when the moon is getting smaller (6,7,8). Based on the moon phases their shapes comes differently such as new moon means no moon cannot see the moon, crescent moon means less than half, quarter moon means moon half, gibbous moon means more than half and full moon means all.

       Tide is a change of level on earth's ocean. The spring tide is when the sun and moon gets in a right trianlge and the water level increase in the sides. The neap tide is when sea level stays normal without changing.

     There is two type of eclipses. Solar eclipse is when the sun is cover by the moon.  A lunar eclipse is when the sun covered completely by the moon. A partial eclpise is when the sun is covered by half of the moon. Difference between them total is when earth's shadow blocks the light to the moon and partial is when the sunlight is blocked.  Umbra is the opaque, darker part of the shadow. The penumbra is the semi opaque, lighter part of the shadow.
