Astronomy Homework #1
 
Astronomy Homework #1


There are three options for this homework. Please only complete ONE of them for credit. Doing both will not earn you double the house points. Extra credit is available to outstanding efforts and creativity.

option one (worth 10 pts)
Answer the following questions for review.
  1. Why is the Earth's tilt on its axis important?
  2. Who was the first person credited with calculating the tilt of the Earth?
  3. What planets posses a tilt similar to that of the Earth's?
  4. Why is Santa Claus depicted surfing in December in Australia?
  5. Why is the Earth's spin about its axis important?
  6. True or false, the Earth is closer to the Sun when we experience summer
    'we' meaning us here at Hogwarts
  7. Why is it hot in the summer and cold in the winter?
  8. What is a solstice?
  9. What is an equinox?
  10. Explain to me what Cuckoo Warning Day is and why it is significant. I am dying to know.
OOC: Please be sure not to just copy paste answers from the internet for this should you select this option <3
option two (worth 10 pts)
In class we very briefly discussed how our ancestors used mythology to explain the changing of the seasons. Inspired by Miss Petersfield (Chiara), imagine that you are one of these ancient peoples and create your own myth explaining the change from one season to another. You may select just two seasons (for example winter to spring) or a story that explains the changing of all four seasons.

Stories should be at least 4 inches.
OOC: 4 inches = 4 paragraphs ^_^

Please keep in mind that all stories must follow SnitchSeeker.com Rules.
option 3 (worth 10 points)
In class we looked at various diagrams and demonstrations explaining the how the Earth's orbit around the Sun causes the seasons. Draw your own diagram explaining the changing of the seasons (be sure to include the solstices and equinoxes!).

If drawing is not your thing, you may choose to instead find a partner (or a group or your pet or ghost....ANYONE) and give them a demonstration similar to what was done in class with the lamp and quaffle. Sharing knowledge is one of the best ways to solidify what you have learned after all.

OOC: There are really two options for option 3: an RP task or a graphic task. PLEASE DO ONLY ONE!

Your graphic should be something of your own creation. Do NOT just submit a preexisting image from the internet. Hand drawn images are entirely fine <3

If you choose to RP, please PM me the links to your RP. This CAN be accomplished in 1 post (especially if you are RPing with yourself and are giving a demonstration to your character's pet) as long as it is thoughtful and covers all the appropriate information.


this assignment is due June 1st @ noon GMT

Please be sure you have read through Astronomy & Space Navigation and paid particular attention to the rules regarding homework submission. Late homework submissions will not be accepted. Any questions, concerns, or what have you can be sent to me via PM.
