[4.3] Keeping Time [OpenStax]

Learning Objectives By the end of this section, you will be able to: The measurement of time is based on the rotation of Earth. Throughout most of human history, time has been reckoned by positions of the Sun and stars […]

[4.2] The Seasons [OpenStax]

Learning Objectives By the end of this section, you will be able to: One of the fundamental facts of life at Earth’s midlatitudes, where most of this book’s readers live, is that there are significant variations in the heat we […]

Chapter 4 — Earth, Moon, and Sky [OpenStax]

Chapter Outline Thinking Ahead If Earth’s orbit is nearly a perfect circle (as we saw in earlier chapters), why is it hotter in summer and colder in winter in many places around the globe? And why are the seasons in […]

[4.1] Earth and Sky [OpenStax]

Learning Objectives By the end of this section, you will be able to: In order to create an accurate map, a mapmaker needs a way to uniquely and simply identify the location of all the major features on the map, […]

[3.6] Gravity with More Than Two Bodies

Learning Objectives By the end of this section, you will be able to: Until now, we have considered the Sun and a planet (or a planet and one of its moons) as nothing more than a pair of bodies revolving […]

[3.5] Motions of Satellite and Spacecraft [OpenStax]

Learning Objectives By the end of this section, you will be able to: Newton’s universal law of gravitation and Kepler’s laws describe the motions of Earth satellites and interplanetary spacecraft as well as the planets. Sputnik, the first artificial Earth […]

[3.4] Orbit’s In The Solar System [OpenStax]

Learning Objectives By the end of this section, you will be able to: Recall that the path of an object under the influence of gravity through space is called its orbit, whether that object is a spacecraft, planet, star, or […]

[3.3] Newton’s Universal Law of Gravitation [OpenStax]

Learning Objectives By the end of this section, you will be able to: Newton’s laws of motion show that objects at rest will stay at rest and those in motion will continue moving uniformly in a straight line unless acted […]

[3.2] Newton’s Great Synthesis [OpenStax]

Learning Objectives By the end of this section, you will be able to: It was the genius of Isaac Newton that found a conceptual framework that completely explained the observations and rules assembled by Galileo, Brahe, Kepler, and others. Newton […]
