Earth Patterns, Cycles, and Change

Rotation The Earth rotates on its axis every 24 hours.

Revolution The Earth completes one revolution around the sun every 365 days. Due to its axial tilt, the Earth experiences seasons during its revolution around the sun.

Moon and Earth Relationship The Moon revolves around the Earth about once every month. During its revolution, we see phases of the moon that are caused by the moon’s position relative to the Earth and sun.

Rotation of the Moon The Moon always presents the same face towards Earth. –Another common misconception is that this means that the Moon does not rotate. –However, in order to keep the same face toward Earth, the Moon must rotate once every orbit. –The far side of the Moon is not dark, it gets just as much sunlight as the near side.

“Everyone is a Moon, and has a dark side which he never shows to anybody.” –Mark Twain

Misconception: Dark Side of the Moon The “Dark Side” of the Moon should really be called the “Far Side.” –The far side gets just as much light as the near side. For example, during a new moon, the near side of the Moon is dark, and the far side of the Moon is fully illuminated!
