Earth, Moon, and Beyond

 * **//E.ES.M.6 -//** //Seasons - Seasons result from annual variations in the in the intensity of sunlight and length of day due to the tilt of the axis of the Earth relative to the plane of its yearly orbit around the sun.//


 * **//E.ST.M.1 -//** //Solar System - The sun is the central and largest body in our solar system. Earth is the third planet from the sun in a system that includes other planets and their moons, as well as smaller objects, such as asteroids and comets.//


 * **//E.ST.M.2 -//** //Solar System Motion - Gravity is the force that keeps most objects in the solar system in regular and predictable motion.//
