What will Earth be like in 100 years?<br />
Copy and complete the below chart in<br />
your workbook.<br />
Many ancient cultures thought that Earth was at<br />
the centre of the universe. They believed that the<br />
Sun and the other planets revolved around Earth,<br />
and they thought they had proof – these bodies<br />
seemed to move around the sky during the day<br />
and the night.<br />
We now know that Earth revolves around<br />
the Sun, the largest body in our solar system,<br />
with the largest gravitational pull. For the<br />
same reason, our Moon revolves around Earth.<br />
We also understand that the tilt of Earth causes<br />
the seasons, and that the rotation of Earth<br />
causes day and night.<br />
