Different Phases of the Moon

The Big Idea  Students will understand that the appearance of the moon changes in a predictable cycle as it orbits Earth and as Earth rotates on its.

It takes 29 ½ days – almost 1 month – for the moon to move (revolve) around the Earth.

Moon Facts The moon is 238,857 miles from the earth. The moon has no atmosphere so there is no weather on this natural satellite. The moon revolves around.

Presentation transcript:

Waxing & Waning Why does the moon change shape during the month?  It depends on the moon’s position in relation to the sun and Earth.  As the moon orbits the Earth, we see different parts of the half that is lit by the sun.  The different shapes are called phases.  Half of the moon is always lit by the sun, but as the moon revolves around the Earth, we see different parts of the lit half of the moon.

Waxing & Waning Lunar Cycle:  the cycle of the moon going through all its phases in 29.5 days.  29.5 days is how long it takes the moon to revolve around the Earth once.  There are 8 main moon phases.

Waxing & Waning Lunar Cycle:  Waxing: the lit portion of the moon is getting larger.  Waning: the lit portion of the moon is getting smaller.
