1 Phases of the Moon

2 Vocabulary Terms Phases Moon Cycle Waxing Waning Gibbous Crescent First Quarter Third (Last) Quarter

3 It’s Just a Phase 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”

4 Waxing and Waning New moon Waxing Crescent moon First Quarter moon Waxing Gibbous moon Full moon Waning Gibbous moon Third Quarter moon Waning Crescent moon New moon

5 FULL QUARTER CRESCENT GIBBOUS FOUR MAIN SHAPES

6 Birth of the Moon Collision Theory “Born” 4-5 billion years ago Formed from impact of Mars-sized “planetesimal” on Earth Debris from both objects melted together to form the Moon
