The Moon and Eclipses 8 September 2006

Today: Motions and phases of the moon Eclipses Measuring the moon’s size and distance

Motion of the Moon On any given day, the moon’s motion is essentially the same as that of a star (rises in the east, sets in the west). The moon’s position is always near the ecliptic (the sun’s apparent path among the stars). The moon’s motion doesn’t keep up with the stars or the sun: It completes only 348º of a circle in 24 hours. Falling 12º behind the sun each day, the moon completes a full circle (with respect to the sun) once every 30 days (actually 29). One month!

Size of the moon Earth’s Shadow Moon’s diameter is about 1/3 that of earth’s shadow, or about 1/4 that of the earth (Aristarchus).

Distance to the moon (“Big circle problem”) 1/2 degree 1. Imagine a big circle, passing through the moon, centered on you moons would fit around the circle. 3. Each moon is 1/4 earth’s diameter, so 180 earths would fit around circle. 4. Radius (distance) is circumference divided by about 6, or 30 earth diameters (about 240,000 miles).
