Milky Way Cause and Effect

Students explore how motion within the Solar System produces observable phenomena such as seasons and eclipses. They fill in blanks to complete cause-and-effect chains, linking planetary tilt, orbit, and positioning to resulting events. The exercise helps learners visualize how cosmic movements create patterns visible from Earth. It reinforces understanding of natural cycles and interrelated systems while building logical sequencing and reasoning skills.
