Solstices and Equinoxes

Summary:
Our planet and Solar System is well-worked mechanism in a whole universe. The Earth's every detail like tilt and distance of revolution around the Sun allows it to be a good environment for all organisms. Earth is tilted to 23.5 degree to the Polaris star and has an axis line that go through the center of the Earth. Even big events like equinoxes and solstices happen because of the orbital position during the revolution. Our hours and temperature totally depend on that system. Solstices happen when Earth gets to the position when one side of the hemisphere is tilted toward or away from the Sun. If North hemisphere tilted to the Sun it will experience the longest day and the longest night when tilted away. Equinoxes is a time when Earth receives equal amount of sunlight 12 hours of day and night. The way sunlight falls on Earth has a great role too. For example if northern hemisphere will be having summer solstice southern hemisphere will experience summer solstice. Northern hemisphere in that case is tilted toward the sun and sunlight falls in direct degree when southern hemisphere receives indirect sunlight. For example, when earth experience equinoxes it takes the position where both hemispheres receives same amount of sunlight.

Critical Thinking Questions:
How do the Earth's motions affect us each day?
Earth's rotation causes switch in day and night. Also, Earth's revolution causes seasons. The tiniest things and changes in Earth can dramatically impact our normal life. Even changing distance of the ellipse during the revolution can absolutely change the temperature of the Earth: switch from winter to summer and transition seasons like spring and fall.

How do the Sun, Moon and Earth work together as a system? 
Every single detail in our universe that interact with Earth has their own purpose and role in our life. For example if Earth decreased its distance from Sun for a little bit, the surface would burn down, water would dried up and any living organism would barely survive. Our beautiful and full of natural art Earth would have nothing beside devastating and cold surface. If moon had different orbit of revolution and distance from Earth we would have natural disasters happening everyday, and eventually whole surface would be covered by water.

Reflection:
What part did u enjoy the most about this project and why?
I enjoyed editing and choosing background melody. I liked it because we were free to express ourselves in any way we want.

What was most challenging part for you during this project and why?
The most challenging part was keeping everything on track in recording the video. My group took too much time to prepare all pieces and auditing to that internship schedule were cutting short our time. We overcame that problem by scheduling another time outside of school and finished the video.

What new skills did u learn from doing this project?
I learned how to record that type of videos. Also, I learned how to operate iMovie and other film-making programs.

Is there anything that you would change about this project? Explain.
I would change the way we recorded our vudeo to make it smoother. Also, I would change the background to black and arrows to white or any other color. It would look much more professional and nice. The last thing I would change is keeping one location during recording to keep same illumination all the time.
