Different Phases of the Moon

What will we learn? We will learn about moon phases How many moons we have compared to other planets Why we have moon phases What the different moon phases look like How to find our birthday moon phase

Our Planet Earth has 1 MOON! This is our moon This is Earth

Other Planets have many moons! THIS IS MARS FOR EXAMPLE: MARS HAS TWO MOONS !! EACH MOON HAS ITS OWN NAME. THEIR NAMES ARE: PHOBOS & DEIMAS

What Causes the different phases of the moon? The Moon Revolving around the Earth 2. The Moon reflecting sunlight towards the Earth.

Key Vocabulary 1. Orbit - The path of the Moon around the Earth. 2. Rotate - The Earth spins around, like a top, about its axis once each day. 3. Waning – appears to shrink 4. Waxing – appears to be growing 5. Gibbous - Swollen on one side 6. Crescent – less than ½ the moon is visible. 7. Revolve- the motion of one object around another ( the moon revolves around Earth)

Different Phases of the Moon Since we only see the lit portion of the moon that is facing Earth, we see a Moon phase. There are 8 phases of the moon & they always occur in the same order starting with the NEW MOON and ending with WANING CRESCENT

Shadow on the Moon

New Moon During a NEW MOON we do NOT see any of the Moon’s surface that is lit. We ONLY see the dark side of the moon. This is the first phase in the moon’s cycle.

New Moon New Moon

Waxing Crescent During the Waxing Crescent moon phase we see : a small sliver of the lit moon on the right side. A waxing moon seems to grow larger.

Waxing CrescentWaxinCrescen

First Quarter During the first quarter phase, we see: The right half of the lit Moon. This means that the Moon and Earth are now –at right angles.

First Quarter

Waxing Gibbous During this moon phase we see almost the entire right side of the lit moon. The moon is still growing!! It is swollen on one side.

Waxing Gibbous

Full Moon During a full moon, we can see the entire half of the moon’s lit surface. This is when the moon is positioned behind the Earth and Sun.

Full Moon

Waning Gibbous During this moon phase, we see almost the entire Left side of the lit up moon. The moon seems to be shrinking. It is also swollen on one side.

Waning Gibbous

Third (Last) Quarter During the last quarter moon phase, we see the left half of the Moon lit. The Moon and Earth are now positioned again, at right angles.

Last Quarter

Waning Crescent During the waning crescent moon phase, we see a sliver of the lit Moon, now on the left side.
