Coordenadas Geográficas
Aquí tenéis unos vídeos para saber cómo interpretar las coordenadas geográficas.
¡Espero que os animéis a localizar cualquier punto de la Tierra!
LAS REPRESENTACIONES DE LA TIERRA
El último día en clase estuvimos hablando de las representaciones de la Tierra y de las líneas imaginarias que nos ayudan a localizar exactamente cualquier punto de la Tierra.
En este mapamundi los paralelos (líneas horizontales) y los meridianos (líneas perpendiculares) se utilizan para marcar coordenadas geográficas.
hacia el este o hacia el oeste.

¿Cómo se interpretan las coordenadas
geográficas?
Utilizando dos distancias que se miden en grados.
·
Los paralelos indican la latitud (Norte-Sur):
Partiendo del ecuador (latitud 0º), se indica los grados que hay hacia el
norte o hacia el sur.
·
Los meridianos indican la longitud (Este-Oeste):
hacia el este o hacia el oeste.

UNIT 9: THE SOLAR SYSTEM
UNIT 9: THE SOLAR SYSTEM
Index:
1.1.- The Solar System
1.2.-The Sun
1.3.- Planets and Satellites
1.4.- Other celestial bodies in the Solar System
1.1.-
THE SOLAR SYSTEM
- The Solar System is made up of the Sun and
all the stars that orbit around it.
- The Earth is also part of the Solar System.
1.2.- THE SUN
- The Sun is
the closest star to the Earth.
- It is a huge mass of gasses made up of mainly
hydrogen that is shaped like a sphere.
- Because its surface is very hot, it gives us energy in
form
of light and
heat.
- When the Sun is in the sky, it is day. When we cannot see the Sun, it is
night.
1.3. PLANETS AND SATELLITES
- The planets of the Solar System do
not have their own light.
- They spin around their own axes and
orbit around the Sun.
- Almost all the planets have satellites.
Satellites are celestial bodies without their
own light that
orbit around a planet.
The eight planets of the Solar System
are classified into two groups:
|
Inner planets:
|
Outer planets:
|
|
- They are the closest to the Sun.
|
- They are the farthest from the Sun.
|
|
- They are smaller than the outer planets.
|
- They are much larger than the inner planets.
|
|
- They have a solid rock surface.
|
- They are made up of gasses like hydrogen and helium.
|
|
- Their density is high.
|
- Their density is low.
|
|
Inner planets are:
Mercury, Venus, Earth and Mars.
|
Outer planets are:
Jupiter, Saturn, Uranus and Neptune.
They are surrounded by many satellites.
|
1.4.- OTHER CELESTIAL BODIES IN THE
SOLAR SYSTEM
Our solar system is also made up of asteroids,
meteorites, comets and dwarf planets (planetas enanos).
·
Asteroids:
- They are fragments of rock or metal that move around the Sun.
- They are smaller than planets.
- Most of them are placed between Mars
and Jupiter what is called asteroid belt.
·
Meteorites:
- They are craters formed on the surface when asteroids hit (impactan
sobre) a planet or a satellite.
- Small meteorites that disintegrate in our atmosphere are called shooting
stars.
·
Comets:
- They are made of rock and ice.
- They come from two areas: The Oort Cloud (la
Nube de Oort) and The Kuiper Belt (el Cinturón de Kuiper).
- Solar energy evaporates the ice which forms the tail. This glowy path
(estela luminosa) can have millions of kilometers.
·
Dwarf planets:
- They are smaller than planets.
- They orbit the Sun further away than Neptune.
- Pluto is the most well known.
