Presentation on theme: "Memory Devices White on RIGHT, growing bright!"— Presentation transcript:

1 Memory Devices White on RIGHT, growing bright!
White on LEFT, losing light!

2 Memory Devices WAX on—increasing light! WANE off –decreasing light
Gibbous—bulge

3 Memory Devices New Moon = Near the Sun Full Moon = Far from the Sun
Remember, YOU are on the EARTH looking at the Moon

4 The New Moon phase occurs when the moon is between the Sun and the Earth.
What the moon looks like from Earth. New Moon

5 Waxing Crescent The moon revolves around Earth.
WAXING means to increase in size. This refers to the lit portion of the moon. Crescent refers to the shape. What the moon looks like from Earth. Waxing Crescent

6 When the moon has traveled, one quarter of the way around Earth, it is called the First Quarter.
From our point of view on Earth, it looks like a the right half is lit. What the moon looks like from Earth. First Quarter

7 Waxing Gibbous The gibbous phase looks like a fat football.
The word gibbous means bulging. During the waxing gibbous phase, the lit side of the moon continues to grow. What the moon looks like from Earth. Waxing Gibbous

8 During the Full Moon, we see the light reflecting from the entire surface of the moon facing the Earth. What the moon looks like from Earth. Full Moon

9 Waning Gibbous Waning means to decrease in size.
During the waning phase of the Moon, the lit portion decreases in size. What the moon looks like from Earth. Waning Gibbous

10 Third Quarter or Last Quarter
The Third Quarter has the left side of the Moon lit. The moon is three fourths of the way around the Earth. What the moon looks like from Earth. Third Quarter or Last Quarter

11 The Waning Crescent gets smaller and smaller, until the Moon completes its orbit and begins a new cycle. What the moon looks like from Earth. Waning Crescent

12 The New Moon phase occurs when the moon is between the Sun and the Earth.
What the moon looks like from Earth. New Moon
