5-ESS1-1.
Support an argument that differences in the apparent
brightness of the sun compared to other stars is due to their relative
distances from Earth.
ESS1.A:
The Universe and its Stars
•The sun is a star that appears larger and brighter
than other stars because it is closer. Stars range greatly in their distance
from Earth. (5-ESS1-1)
5. The solar system
consists of planets and other bodies that orbit the Sun in predictable paths.
As a basis for understanding this concept:
5a. Students know the Sun, an average star, is the central and
largest body in the solar system and is composed primarily of hydrogen and
helium.
5b. Students know the solar system includes the planet Earth, the
Moon, the Sun, eight other planets and their satellites, and smaller objects,
such as asteroids and comets.
5c. Students know the path of a planet around the Sun is due to
the gravitational attraction between the Sun and the planet.
