Real Scale of Earth and Moon Earth Moon If you're measuring the center-to-center distance from the earth to the Moon, the distance would be about 384,403 kilometers/238,857 miles. Activity! If you want to see the size and scale the earth could be a basketball and the moon a tennis ball and the distance between the two would be 6.4 meters or 21 feet.

Are you ready to see the other side of the moon? I can’t hear you….

What direction does the moon rotate? The same or opposite as earth.

What direction does the moon rotate? The same or opposite as earth. Answer:

It takes the moon the same amount of time to rotate around once as it does for the moon to go around the earth once. Copyright © 2010 Ryan P. Murphy

It takes the moon the same amount of time to rotate around once as it does for the moon to go around the earth once. Copyright © 2010 Ryan P. Murphy It takes the moon about 27.3 Earth days to rotate once.

It takes the moon the same amount of time to rotate around once as it does for the moon to go around the earth once. –Therefore, earth-bound observers can never see the 'far-side' of the moon.

Video! Synchronous Orbit of the earth and the moon. –

The moon use to rotate faster but has slowed down and become locked gravitationally with the earth.

The moon is also moving further away from the earth each year. –About 4 cm a year.

“See you Earth, Nice knowing you.”

As the moon gets further away from earth it will slow down its movement away.

–It will eventually stabilize at 1.6 the distance of today.

This will take 15 Billion years!

The Sun will become a red giant in only 5 Billion years destroying both the moon and the earth.

What’s the man of the moon all about?

The man is a series of craters that creates a face.

What’s a syzygy?

–The nearly straight-line configuration of three celestial bodies (as the sun, moon, and earth during a solar or lunar eclipse) in a gravitational system. Pronounce at:

In lunar calendars, a lunar month is the time between two identical syzygies (new moons or full moons). – 1 lunar month = days
