1 Phases of the Moon
2 Bell work What is the different between terrestrial planets and gaseous planets?
3 Title: Phases of the moon Objective: I can explain why we see different moon phases at different times of the month. Essential Question: What causes us to see different phases of the moon?
4 Phases of the moon Study Practice
5 Half of the Moon is always lit up by the sun. As the Moon orbits the Earth, we see different parts of the lighted area. Draw the picture
6 The revolution of the Moon around the Earth makes the Moon look as if it is changing shape in the sky.
7 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.
8
9 The Moon passes through four major shapes during a cycle that repeats itself every 29.5 days. The phases always follow one another in the same order: New moon First quarter Third quarter Full moon
10 New Moon The lighted side of the Moon faces away from the Earth. This means that the Sun, Earth, and Moon are almost in a straight line, with the Moon in between the Sun and the Earth. The Moon that we see looks very dark
11 New Moon
12 Waxing Crescent Moon This Moon can be seen after the New Moon, but before the First Quarter Moon. The crescent will grow larger and larger every day, until the Moon looks like the First Quarter Moon. ("Waxing" means increasing, or growing larger.)
13 Waxing Crescent Moon
14 First Quarter Moon The right half of the Moon appears lighted and the left side of the Moon appears dark. During the time between the New Moon and the First Quarter Moon, the part of the Moon that appears lighted gets larger and larger every day, and will continue to grow until the Full Moon.
15 First Quarter Moon
16 Waxing Gibbous Moon This Moon can be seen after the First Quarter Moon, but before the Full Moon. The amount of the Moon that we can see will grow larger and larger every day. ("Waxing" means increasing, or growing larger.)
17 Waxing Gibbous Moon
18 Full Moon The lighted side of the Moon faces the Earth. This means that the Earth, Sun, and Moon are nearly in a straight line, with the Earth in the middle. The Moon that we see is very bright from the sunlight reflecting off it.
19 Full Moon
20 Waning Gibbous Moon This Moon can be seen after the Full Moon, but before the Last Quarter Moon. The amount of the Moon that we can see will grow smaller and smaller every day. ("Waning" means decreasing, or growing smaller.)
21 Waning Gibbous Moon
22 Third (Last) Quarter Moon Sometimes called Third Quarter. The left half of the Moon appears lighted, and the right side of the Moon appears dark. During the time between the Full Moon and the Last Quarter Moon, the part of the Moon that appears lighted gets smaller and smaller every day. It will continue to shrink until the New Moon, when the cycle starts all over again.
23 Third Quarter Moon
24 Waning Crescent Moon This Moon can be seen after the Last Quarter Moon and before the New Moon. The crescent will grow smaller and smaller every day, until the Moon looks like the New Moon. ("Waning" means decreasing, or growing smaller.)
25 Waning Crescent Moon
26 New Moon
27 Draw the picture. Notice the light side of the moon faces the sun
28 Waxing & Waning Notice that when the moon is waxing it is shown at the bottom of the model. When the moon is waning it is shown at the top of the model.
29 Practice Work through the practice problems. Answer all questions on a separate sheet of paper. Make sure you justify all answers.
30 Name the phase of the moon in position 6.
31 Which moons are waxing?
32 Name the phase of the moon in position 3.
33 Which moons are waning?
34 Name the phase of the moon in position 1.
35 Name the phase of the moon in position 5.
36 Which moons are a gibbous?
37 Name the phase of the moon in position 7.
38 Name the phase of the moon in position 2.
39 Which moons are a crescent?
40 Name the phase of the moon in position 8.
41 Name the phase of the moon in position 4.
Phases of the Moon. The next phase, at about day 10, we can see roughly three quarters of the moon. This is called the waxing gibbous phase.
Phases of the Moon Though we can see the moon s size change throughout the month, it is really always the same size. Yet we see these different sizes or moon phases at regular intervals every month. How
