Astronomy


I can analyze the differences between comets, astroids, meteors and moons. I will research orbits and discuss differences of what we see from the earth's surface (phases). I will analyze the effect the moon's orbit has on our planet. I will predict what will happen if earth had a second moon or the distance to the moon was increased or decreased.

The reason why I used animoto is because I thought I could get my point across using short facts that briefly describe each object effectively. I struggled to find information on what happen if there was a second moon or if the distance of the moon was increased or decreased.

I used Powerpoint because animoto only lets you write a certain amount of letters per page and it was hard to state facts but with Powerpoint you can write a lot more in the space to get your facts across. I found it hard to find information on the Elliptical galaxy and the Lenticular galaxy.
