The Earth and the Solar System Lesson introduces students to the structure and components of our solar system, including the Sun, planets, moons, and other celestial bodies like asteroids and comets. This lesson covers the position and movement of Earth within the solar system, examining how these factors influence phenomena such as day and night, seasons, and phases of the moon. Students will gain a foundational understanding of Earth’s place in space and how gravitational forces govern planetary motion. By the end of the lesson, students will have a clearer perspective of Earth’s relationship with the broader cosmos.
