Presentation transcript:

Chapter 7 Section 4

 Telescope: a device built to observe distant objects by making them appear closer  Lenses are used to focus light coming in through a tube

Moon’s Surface  Maria  Craters  Highlands

Maria  Dark flat areas on the moon  Hardened rock formed from huge lava flows that occurred between 3-4 billion years ago

Craters  Large round pits on the moon  Caused by the impacts of meteoroids  Meteoroids: chunks of rock or dust from space

Highlands  mountains or the rims of craters on the moon

LUNAR HIGHLANDS CRATERS MARIA

Characteristics of the Moon  Dry and airless  Roughly ¼ the size of Earth  Large Variations in Temperature (180 ° C to -130°C)  The moon has no liquid water

SCIENTISTS THEORIZE THAT A PLANET –SIZED OBJECT COLLIDED WITH EARTH TO FORM THE MOON

NAME THAT PHASE? WAXING CRESANT

NAME THAT PHASE? WANING GIBBOUS

NAME THAT PHASE? FULL MOON

NAME THAT PHASE? NEW MOON

NAME THAT PHASE? FIRST QUARTER MOON
