Presentation transcript:

 Earth’s only satellite  Made of silicate rock which is similar to Earth rock  238,850 miles away

 We always see the same side of the Moon because Earth and the Moon are in a tidal lock  Orbital period is equal to rotation period

 The distortion of the Earth’s surface caused by gravity between the Earth and the Moon

 When sunlight is blocked by the shadow of the Moon or Earth

 The Moon passes between the Sun and the Earth during a new moon  Only seen from certain locations on Earth

 The Moon passes behind the Earth and the Sun’s rays are blocked by the Earth’s shadow during full moon

 How much of the Moon is lit up by the Sun  Takes days to complete the cycle
