Slide 4 / 153

Vocabulary

Astronomy - the study of the stars and other parts of the universe beyond Earth's atmosphere.

Atmosphere - the gases surrounding Earth.

Sky - the region of the atmosphere and outer space seen from Earth. Sphere - a round object with a surface like a globe or a ball.

Surface: - the upper outside layer of something.

Slide 5 / 153

An astronomer is someone who studies the stars and space.

The sky is also known as the "celestial dome".

The sky is everything that is above the surface of Earth, including the atmosphere and outer space.

Astronomers

Slide 6 / 153

Page 3: The Sun - NJCTL

The Celestial sphere (or dome) is what we see when we look up and see the sun, stars, planets, and the moon.

These celestial bodies appear to travel across the dome.

Celestial Dome

Slide 7 / 153

EARTH

Celestial Dome

It is called a dome because it appears to be a "rounded roof" above Earth.

Slide 8 / 153

Atmosphere

An astronomer must look through the atmosphere to study the stars and planets.

The atmosphere is made of the layers of gases which surround Earth.

You may have seen solar panels in open fields or on top of houses near where you live.

Slide 74 / 153

Solar electric panels are made up of something called silicon, the same thing that makes up sand.

Making a solar panel is hard and costs a lot of money.

The silicon has to be heated to super high temperatures and then made in to very skinny panels.

Solar Energy

Slide 75 / 153

When the sunlight hits a solar panel, it makes the small particles (kind of like sand) that are in the panel move through the wires

that are inside of the panels and that creates electricity.
