Moon Phases What’s true or not true?

The sun gives off its own light.

TRUE

The moon revolves counterclockwise around the Earth.

TRUE

The moon rotates many times as it revolves once around the Earth.

Not true, it rotates only once as it revolves once around the Earth.

The moon is only seen when it is nighttime.

Not true, it can be seen at times during the daytime also.

The light we see from the moon is reflected.

TRUE

Sometimes you can see the moon during the day.

TRUE

The moon gives off its own light.

Not true, the moon does not produce any heat of its own. It is cold and dark without the sun.

The moon rotates on its axis.

TRUE

The moon revolves on its axis.

Not true, the moon rotates on its axis.

The moon rotates around the earth.

Not true, the moon revolves around the earth.

The moon doesn’t rotate, that’s why we see only one side of the moon.

Not true, the moon does rotate, but at the same speed it revolves so we see the same side of the moon.

The moon rotates around the sun.

Not true, the moon revolves around the earth.

We see a sliver of the moon. It is a gibbous moon.

Not true, the moon’s shape would be a crescent.

The right half of the moon is lit during the third quarter.

Not true, we would see the left half of the moon’s shape reflecting the sun’s light.

The moon can be seen in the same place in the sky and at the same time each day.

Not true, the earth rotates faster than the moon revolves so the moon is in different places daily.

It takes about a month for us to see all the phases of the moon.

TRUE

The moon and the earth both rotate on an axis.

TRUE

The moon’s orbit around the earth is very circular.

Not true, the moon’s orbit like the earth’s orbit is more oval than circular.

The moon’s day and year are the same length of time.

TRUE

We can see the far side of the moon sometime during its revolution around the earth.

Not true, because the moon rotates and revolves at the same rate, we on earth see the same side of the moon.

It takes the moon 29.5 earth-days to revolve around the earth and 27.3 earth-days to go through its phases.

Not true, it is the opposite earth days to go though the phases and 27.3 earth-days to revolve and rotate.

We can not see the moon during the new moon phase because the earth’s shadow is falling on the moon.

Not true, we can not see the moon because sunlit side is facing the sun and no light is reflected to earth.
