THE MOON Earth’s natural satellite

1.THE MOON IS EARTH’S NATURAL SATELLITE Earth’s pull of gravity keeps moon as our natural satellite Takes 3 days to get there with a space craft Only one side of the moon is seen from earth This is because the moon turns once on its axis each time it orbits the Earth Near side- side we can see Far side-side we can’t see NASA video The moon rotates counterclockwise

2. MOON STRUCTURE Dark part of the moon is called mare (plural =maria) Not bodies of water, but different types of solid rock Moon has no air, water, clouds, or life forms Light part of moon called highlands Covered with impact craters, no erosion so craters stay untouched

LUNAR MARE

3. MOON INTERIOR 3 main layers - crust, mantle, and core Core is similar to earth, but has a partially melted layer outside the liquid outer core

4. MOON FORMATION Collision- Re-forming- Earth and Moon- An early version of earth is hit by a smaller object Re-forming- The many pieces pull each other into orbit around the earth Earth and Moon- The moon forms from the material that orbits the new earth

5. MOON PHASES It takes one month for the moon to orbit around the Earth As the moon orbits around the earth, sunlight reflects off of the moon making it visible in the night sky. From earth, we can only see certain portions of the lit moon

6. MOON PHASES Cont. Full lunar phase takes one month (4 weeks) Weeks 1-2 are waxing(growing) phases Weeks 3-4 are waning (shrinking) phases

7. ECLIPSES Sun, moon, and earth line up exactly a shadow crosses Earth or the moon Make either the sun or moon grow dark Umbra- dark part of shadow Penumbra- light part of shadow

8. LUNAR ECLIPSE Moon moves into the Earth’s shadow (umbra, and penumbra) Total lunar eclipse- moon moves completely into Earth’s umbra

LUNAR ECLIPSE

9. SOLAR ECLIPSE When the moon passes in between the Earth and the Sun Moon’s umbra and penumbra create shadow on Earth Only locations in the path of the moon’s shadow experience a solar eclipse

SOLAR ECLIPSE Shadow the moon leaves on Earth

SOLAR ECLIPSE
