Topic: Lunar Phases Essential Question: What is the sequence of the lunar phases? One half of the moon is always lit up by the sun (the part we see).

Topic: Lunar Phases Essential Question: What is the sequence of the lunar phases? As the moon revolves (orbits) around the Earth, we are only able to see the lit up (illuminated) part. The moon reflects light given off by the Sun.

Topic: Lunar Phases Essential Question: What is the sequence of the lunar phases? The revolution of the Moon around the Earth makes the Moon look as if it is changing shape in the sky.

Topic: Lunar Phases Essential Question: What is the sequence of the lunar phases? This is caused by the different angles from which we see the lighted part of the moon's surface. These are called "phases" of the Moon.

Topic: Lunar Phases Essential Question: What is the sequence of the lunar phases? The lunar cycle lasts 29.5 days There are about 4 days between each phase.

Topic: Lunar Phases Essential Question: What is the sequence of the lunar phases? The lunar phases occur in this sequence: New moon  Waxing crescent  1 st quarter  Waxing Gibbous  Full Moon  Waning Gibbous  3 rd /Last quarter  Waning crescent  New Moon
