Phases of the Moon Page 59

How far away is the MOON? 380,000 km ( about 239,000 miles)

The moon is about 1/6 the size and mass, and has approximately 1/6 the gravity of Earth.

What is a SATELLITE? A natural or man made object that revolves around a planet (A natural satellite is a MOON)

What is the moon doing out in space? Revolving around the Earth in a counterclockwise direction Rotating on its axis as it goes around the Earth

Where did the Moon come from?

Giant Impact Theory Earth struck by large body, size of Mars. Part of body + Earth flung into space. Captured by gravity of Earth. Reformed into sphere

Why does the moon appear to shine?

It is reflecting light from the sun. Only the side of the moon facing the sun lights up! Half of the moon is always lit up. We don’t always see the side that is lit!

Why do we always see the same face/side of the moon? (“the man on the moon”) The moon completes one rotation (spin) in the same time it takes to revolve around the Earth.

The Moon’s orbit is a slightly tipped Ellipse (compared to the orbit of Earth around the sun.) What is the orbit of the moon like?

What is a moon phase? Different shapes visible portion of the moon makes as seen from Earth.

How long does it take for the moon to go through all of it’s phases? 29.5 days, or about a month! Tip-think of it as a moonth!

Try it! Try to draw a model of where the moon would need to be, relative to the Sun and Earth, in order to see each phase:

Phases of the Moon Sunlight (1) New Moon (2) Waxing Crescent (3) First Quarter (4) Waxing Gibbous (5) Full Moon (6) Waning Gibbous (7) Third Quarter (8) Waning Crescent Earth The general locations and orientations for the phases of the moon. Earth spins on its axis in the same direction as the moon’s orbit.
