Presentation transcript:

The Moon

maria: smooth, dark areas of the moon- reflect little light Lunar Surface maria: smooth, dark areas of the moon- reflect little light maria are plains of dark solidified lava

craters: bowl-shaped depressions on the moon lunar craters are formed from impacts of debris

regolith: layer of dust and rock that covers the moon’s surface

Interior of the Moon

Why does the same side of the moon always face us? Because the moon rotates and revolves at the same speed (27 1/3)

Eclipses when one planetary body passes through the shadow of another

solar eclipse: when the moon is directly between the Earth and the sun

lunar eclipse: when the Earth is directly between the moon and the sun

Eclipses don’t occur every month because the moon’s orbit is tilted with respect to the Earth’s orbit

Moon Phases phases: various shapes of the moon lighted by reflected sunlight

waxing: when the size of the visible portion of the moon is increasing waning: when the size of the visible portion of the moon is decreasing

new moon: no lighted area of the moon is visible from the Earth full moon: entire half of the side of the moon facing Earth is lit

crescent: less than half of the side facing the Earth is lit gibbous: more than half of the side facing the Earth is lit

New moon Waxing crescent 1st quarter Waxing gibbous

Full moon Waning gibbous Waning crescent 3rd quarter

Tides tides: daily changes in the level of the oceans -caused by the moon’s gravitational pull -tide changes every 6 hours

Tide animation: The spinning Earth within a slightly elliptical ocean results in the rising and falling of the ocean surface, with respect to the land, over the course of a day. For each 24 hour period there are two high tides and two low tides as the Earth rotates through each of the two bulges of the the ocean surface

spring tide: tide with maximum daily tidal range that occurs during new and full moons

neap tides: tides with minimum daily tidal range that occurs during 1st and 3rd quarter moons
