warm up\nhow does the rotation and revolution of the earth contribute to the occurrence of day and night?\n a. rotation causes the earth to orbit the sun, creating daylight when the sun is overhead and darkness when it is on the opposite side of the earth.\n b. revolution causes the earth to spin on its axis, resulting in the sun appearing to rise in the east and set in the west, causing alternating periods of daylight and darkness.\n c. rotation causes the earth to face towards the sun, resulting in daylight, while revolution around the sun causes nighttime when the earth faces away from the sun.\n d. revolution causes the earth to tilt on its axis, causing different parts of the earth to receive varying amounts of sunlight, resulting in the alternation of day and night.\nexplain your answer choice:\n\nfission vs fusion\nall of the energy we produce comes from basic chemical and physical processes. as you watch the video, write down what you learn in relation to fission and fusion. listen for specific atom examples.\nnuclear fission nuclear fusion\n\nread with a purpose\nfirst read: locate figure 3. nuclear fusion in the suns core produces tremendous amounts of energy that move through the suns layers on page 254.\n - for your first \read\, quickly look at the picture, title, and vocab words only.\n - then record what you think the purpose of this reading will be.\n\nsecond read:\n1 where is energy produced?

Answer

Brief Explanations:

The rotation of the Earth on its axis causes the alternation of day and night as different parts of the Earth face the Sun or are turned away from it. Revolution is the Earth's orbit around the Sun and is related to the seasons, not day - night cycle. Nuclear fission is the splitting of an atom's nucleus, often used in nuclear power plants with atoms like uranium - 235. Nuclear fusion is the combining of atomic nuclei, like hydrogen nuclei fusing in the Sun to produce energy. For the reading purpose, it seems to be to understand the process of nuclear fusion in the Sun and how energy is produced there. For the multiple - choice question about day and night:

  • Option a: Incorrect. Rotation is spinning on axis, not orbiting the Sun.
  • Option b: Incorrect. Revolution is orbiting the Sun, not spinning on axis.
  • Option c: Correct. Rotation makes Earth face/turn away from Sun causing day/night.
  • Option d: Incorrect. Tilt on axis is related to seasons, not day - night.

Answer:

  1. c
  2. Nuclear Fission: Splitting of atomic nucleus, e.g., uranium - 235 in nuclear power plants. Nuclear Fusion: Combining of atomic nuclei, e.g., hydrogen nuclei in the Sun.
  3. To understand nuclear fusion in the Sun's core and energy production.
  4. In the Sun's core.
