THE LUNAR CYCLE

The Lunar Cycle The moon orbits (revolution) around the Earth Takes about 28 days (one month) Causes the phases of the moon that we see from Earth

Phases of the Moon Half of the moon is always illuminated by the sun BUT from Earth, we see different phases of the moon as it revolves around the Earth. SUN

Phases of the Moon as it revolves around the Earth

Lunar Cycle – Lasts about 28 Days (1 month)

Predicting the Phases of the Moon

Waxing vs. Waning Waxing - sun lit part of the moon seen from Earth is getting bigger –We see the right side of the moon Waning – sun lit part of the moon seen from Earth is getting smaller –We see the left side of the moon

Waxing vs. Waning Lunar Phases

The Lunar Cycle Takes about 7 days to reach each quarter New moon - 1 st quarter – Full moon – 3 rd quarter 28 days total
