Presentation transcript:

Earth’s Moon

The moon is a natural satellite.

A satellite is a moon or machine that orbits a planet or star.

Earth has only one moon

The moon is about 240,000 miles from Earth.

The Moon is 2,155 miles in diameter. Or about ¼ the size of Earth’s diameter.

Photo taken of Earth and our moon from 114 million miles away!

The Moon’s Temperature

The Moon’s Surface No atmosphere No liquid water Extreme temperatures – Daytime = 265°F – Nighttime = -310  F 1/6 Earth’s gravity

The Earth’s moon revolves around the Earth as both go through space and revolve around the Sun.

Movements of the Moon Revolution – Moon orbits Earth every 27.3 days Rotation – Moon turns on its axis every 27.3 days

Movements of the Moon Because the rotational period is equal to its period of revolution around the Earth, we always see the same side of the moon (from Earth)!

Why do we always see the same side of the moon?

Far Side of the Moon First seen by Luna 3 Russian space probe in 1959 More craters / less maria

Exploring the Moon 1950s to 1960s – probes sent Neil Armstrong First man on the Moon – July 20, 1969 Six Apollo missions ( ) 12 Americans have walked on the moon

When will we return?

What causes the moon to appear in a series of phases?

Moonlight is reflected sunlight

Half the moon’s surface is always reflecting light From Earth we see different amounts of the Moon’s lit surface The amount seen is called a “phase”

From Earth, our moon appears in a series of phases that repeat in a regular cycle.

Phases: the different appearances of the moon due to its changing position.

FULL QUARTER (half) CRESCENT (less than half) GIBBOUS (more than half) FOUR MAIN SHAPES copy into notes!

Waxing: when the moon appears to get larger

Waning: when the moon appears to get smaller

fill in the moon phases on your sheet!

Journal Work Please glue in the small sheet of paper with the phases of the moon. Attempt to label each of the phases without your book or notes. Once you feel “stuck”, you may check your notes from yesterday!
