Other terminology includes: axis, rotation, revolution, compass, auroras, northern lights, magnetic field, winter and summer solstice, spring and autumnal equinox, moon, waxing, waning, full and new moon, first and last quarter.
"...presenting an overview of part of the solar system with clear, factual information buttressed by good visuals.
