📚 Quick Study Guide

• ☀️ Day and Night: The Earth spins around (rotates) like a top. When your part of the Earth faces the sun, it's daytime! When it turns away, it's nighttime.
• 🌙 The Moon's Phases: The moon doesn't make its own light. We see it because the sun shines on it! As the moon orbits the Earth, we see different amounts of its lit-up side. These are the moon phases.
• 🗓️ Seasons: The Earth is tilted! As it orbits the sun, different parts of the Earth get more direct sunlight. This is why we have seasons like summer (more sunlight) and winter (less sunlight).
• 🌊 Tides: The moon's gravity pulls on Earth, causing the oceans to bulge out on the side closest to the moon and the side farthest away. These bulges are high tides!
