Phases of the Moon

USE THE PHASES OF THE MOON NOTES

FACTS ABOUT PHASES OF THE MOON  The moon changes in position in the sky each day. It also changes in appearance from a full moon to a thin crescent. These changes are called phases.  The moon orbits the Earth once in about 28 days, which changes the part of the moon lighted by the sun and how much of that part can be seen from the Earth – phases of the moon.  The moon’s light comes from the sun, and the sunlight is reflected off the moon’s surface.

WHY WE SEE PHASES…. bau/astro_demos/frameset_moo n.html

FACTS ABOUT PHASES OF THE MOON  The moon’s phases are caused by the part of the moon that reflects the sun and seen from our position on earth.  The same side of the moon always faces the earth because the moon turns on its axis at the same rate as it revolves around the earth.  The moon can be seen during the day during several of the moon’s phases. The time and length of day that the moon can be seen varies with the phase of the moon.

ECLIPSES

ACTIVATING STRATEGY: What is an eclipse? Why do we not have an eclipse every month?

USE THE ECLIPSE NOTES

THERE ARE TWO TYPES OF ECLIPSES: Solar Eclipse Lunar Eclipse

SOLAR ECLIPSE  When its orbit around Earth takes the Moon directly between Earth and the Sun, the Moon blocks our view of the Sun in what we call a solar eclipse.  In short, the moon passes between the Earth and Sun causing the Earth to pass through the Moon’s shadow.  Depending on where you are on Earth, you may experience a total eclipse or a partial eclipse.

LUNAR ECLIPSE

 A Lunar Eclipse occurs when the moon passes through the Earth’s shadow.  Depending on where the moon crosses Earth’s shadow, the top or bottom will appear darker. The reddish color is from sunlight refracted by Earth’s atmosphere onto the moon.
