    This document outlines the key topics and vocabulary for Test #2 on the Earth-Moon-Sun system. It includes 3 lessons that will be covered: 1) Earth's rotation, revolution and seasons, 2) the moon's phases and eclipses, and 3) Earth's tides. Lesson 1 discusses how Earth's rotation causes days and revolution causes years, and how its tilted axis causes seasons. Lesson 2 explains how the moon orbits Earth and both orbit the sun, how the moon's appearance changes in its lunar phases, and how lunar and solar eclipses occur. Lesson 3 discusses how the moon's gravity causes Earth's tides, the differences between high and low tides, and spring versus ne
