Earth and it’s Moon

How did it form?  The Giant Impact Theory

The Earth and its Moon  Earth revolves around sun Moon revolves around Earth  Only known natural satellite

Isn’t it strange…. how the moon doesn’t change….but parts seem to be missing at times  Picture courtesy of nasaimages.gov

Motions of the Moon  The Moon rotates on its axis Rotation – to spin Revolution – a body orbiting around another body  Same side of moon always faces Earth because of this (near side)  Class Demonstration

Sides of Moon  Near Side What we see (always!) Mostly facing Earth because of rotation and revolution around Earth is the same! One Revolution = One Rotation!  Far Side Dark side that we don’t see here on Earth. Hence the term “The dark side of the moon” Picture courtesy of pictinas.com

Three Surface Features  Craters – depressions or dips on moon’s surface Caused by metorites, asteroids, comets  Maria – latin for ‘seas’. Dry, hardened lava  Highlands – higher elevation land on surface of moon

Phases of the Moon  Moon phases – changing appearances of the moon as seen from Earth New moon – lighted half of moon facing away from Earth Full moon – all the moon’s surface facing Earth is lit up

Phases of the Moon  Waxing Phase After the new moon  Waxing crescent/gibbous  First quarter  Waning Phase After the full moon  Waning gibbous/crescent  Third quarter
