WAXING CRESCENT - The face of the moon is seen on the earth and a small –lighted side is seen.
WANING CRESCENT - A little lighted part remains, the new moon starts the next cycle.
OBLATE SPHEROID - The shape of the Earth. It has a bulging equator and squeezes poles.
ARISTOTLE - A student of Plato and considered one of the great philosophers of his time; his
Earth-centered view dominated for almost 2,000 years.
PHYTAGORAS - He and his pupils were the first to propose a spherical Earth.
ANAXAGORAS - He further supported Pythagoras’ proposal through his observations of the
shadows that the Earth cast on the Moon during a lunar eclipse.
VIOLENT MOTION - An external force is needed to make an object move in an unnatural manner.
NATURAL MOTION - Any motion an object does without being forced.
ANNUAL MOTION - The apparent yearly motion of the stars, including the Sun as seen from the
Earth due to he Earth’s revolution around the Sun.
GEODESY - It is the study of Earth’s geometric shape, orientation in space, gravity field, and
changes in these properties in time.
GREEKS - They are much noted for their contributions in different fields. They were not only great
philosophers but great scientists and mathematicians as well.
JOHANNES KEPLER - Who is the assistant of Tycho Brahe?
FULL MOON - One of the phases of the moon shows the face of the moon facing the earth fully
lighted.
HANS LIPPERSHEY - Who invented the telescope?
LUNAR ECLIPSE - It occurs when the Earth positions between the Sun and the Moon.
NORTH STAR - It was believed to be in a fixed position in the sky. However, when the Greeks
traveled to places nearer the equator, like Egypt, they noticed that it was closer to the horizon.
PTOLEMIC - It claims that the planets moved in a complicated system of circles.
DIURNAL MOTION - The apparent daily motion of the stars, including the Sun as seen from the
Earth due to the Earth’s rotation.
CONSTELLATION - There are very bright stars that change positions periodically. These “stars” do
not belong to a group of constellations in the sky. Thus, they are called ____?
SOLAR ECLIPSE - A phenomenon wherein the moon changes into a dark or blood-red color.
IO, GANYMEDE, CALLISTO, EUROPA - By improving the telescope, discovered Jupiter’s largest
moons.
LAW OF ECLIPSES - All planets move in elliptical orbits with the Sun as one of the focal points.
LAW OF PERIODS - The square of the orbital period of a planet is directly proportional to the cube.
LAW OF EQUAL AREAS - A line joining the Sun and a planet sweeps out equal areas at equal
lengths of time.
VOLUNTARY - It is a motion of humans and animals due to their innate will to move.
CONSTELLATION - They observed that there are patterns in the scattering stars. These star
patterns are called _________?
NEW MOON - When the moon is between the earth and the sun, it is?
WAXING GIBBOUS - As the days progress, more than one-half of the lighted part is seen.
JOHANNES KEPLER - He is interested in how the planets move around the sun and went to
Tycho’s island to get these accurate measurements.
INERTIA - The tendency of an object to resist acceleration.
LAW OF INERTIA - Objects at rest stay at rest and objects in motion at a constant velocity continue
at a constant velocity unless acted upon by an unbalanced force.
OBJECT IS PUSHED SIDEWARD - Medium is the required contact force, medium flows around an
object to fill in the space left behind then the result will be?
APHELION - When Mars or any other planet is farthest from the sun.
PERIHELION - When Mars or any other planet is closest to the sun.
ELLIPSE - It is a geometric shape with 2 foci instead of 1 central focus, as in a circle.
TYCHO BRAHE - In his model, the Earth was placed at the center of the universe with the Moon
orbiting around it.
CASSIOPEIA - Tycho Brahe observed a new star appear in the constellation named.
STARS, SUN and MOON - The most observable celestial objects in the sky back then are:
29.5 DAYS - Ancient people have observed that the moon changes its path and its appearance
within how many a period?
LAST QUARTER - This time half of the moon is seen but it has already traveled three-fourths of the
distance it is supposed to traverse.
II. STUDY THE STATEMENTS. (TRUE OR FALSE)
1. Aristotle formulated the Three Laws of planetary motion.

2. Inertia is not a force, it’s a property of matter.
3. Mass and inertia are proportional. More mass, more inertia
4. Plato is the assistant of Johannes Kepler.
5. Brahe proposed a model of the Solar System that was intermediate between the Ptolemaic
and Copernican models.
6. Only when friction (or some other oppositional force) is present is a force needed to keep an
object moving.
7. Planets move in elliptical orbit.
8. Objects in motion does not require a force to keep them moving.
9. Tycho Brahe’s innovation and extensive collection of astronomical data paved the way for
Kepler’s discovery of his laws of planetary motion.
10.Each planet would move in a straight line at a constant speed.
