Concept map
The Sun is a star made of hot plasma that glows and erupts solar flares, with a dense core generating energy through particle reactions. The Moon has no light or atmosphere of its own, rotating as it revolves around Earth in 28 days, always showing the same face. The changing phases of the Moon are caused by the varying illumination of its surface from Earth's perspective over the lunar cycle. In 1959, the Soviet Luna 2 was the first spacecraft to reach the Moon, followed by the 1969 Apollo 11 mission where Neil Armstrong became the first person to walk on the lunar surface.
What can we see in the sky
The document provides information about objects that can be seen in the daytime and nighttime sky. It explains that the sun is closest star to Earth and gives off its own light, lighting the Earth. Stars are objects that give off their own light, while the moon does not produce its own light but reflects light from the sun. A telescope allows people to see objects in the sky like planets in greater detail than what can be seen with the naked eye.
Phases of the moon
The document discusses the phases of the moon and how the moon appears to change shape over the course of a month as the sun illuminates different parts of the moon. It explains that as the moon orbits Earth, we only see one side, and its appearance ranges from a new moon with no illumination to a full moon that is fully illuminated. The phases - new moon, waxing crescent, quarter moon, waxing gibbous, full moon, waning gibbous, last quarter moon, and waning crescent - are defined in order according to the portion that is illuminated by the sun.
Stars and solar system
The document summarizes information about the moon and its phases as seen from Earth. It begins with an introduction to celestial objects like stars, planets, and moons. It then discusses specific details about the moon, including that it has no atmosphere and takes about 27 days to orbit Earth. The document also explains that the phases of the moon are caused by the changing positioning of the moon in its orbit around Earth as seen from our perspective. It outlines the eight main phases - new moon, waxing crescent, quarter moon, waxing gibbous, full moon, waning gibbous, last quarter moon, and waning crescent - and includes images and descriptions of each phase.
Phases of moon
The document summarizes the phases of the Moon as seen from Earth. It discusses that the Moon revolves around Earth every 28 days while rotating on its axis also every 28 days, so the same side always faces Earth. It describes the four major lunar phases that repeat every 29.5 days: new moon, first quarter, full moon, and third quarter. Each phase represents a different portion of the Moon that appears illuminated from our perspective on Earth due to the changing positions of the Moon and Sun.
The Moon, Our Natural Satellite
The Moon, earth's natural satellite and its nearest companion brings much fascination and adoration to the humankind. This article provides some interesting facts and figures associated with the Moon.
Science Moon Phase Pp
The document discusses the phases of the moon and the order of the moon cycle. It explains that the moon appears to change shapes because we see different parts of its illuminated surface from the Earth as it orbits around. Over the course of about 28 days, the moon completes one full cycle from new moon, to waxing crescent, quarter moon, waxing gibbous, full moon, waning gibbous, last quarter moon, and back to new moon. Each phase is explained in detail with diagrams.
The moon changes g2
The document discusses the phases of the Moon and how they appear to change shape from Earth. It explains that the Moon does not actually change shape, but rather we see different portions of the lit side as it orbits Earth. The phases include the new Moon where no lit side is visible, followed by the crescent, quarter, and full Moons as more of the lit side becomes visible over approximately 14 days. Then the phases repeat in reverse order as less of the lit side is seen again until only darkness is visible after about 28 days, completing the cycle from new to new Moon.

What can we learn about the moon
The document discusses the phases of the moon. It explains that the moon appears shiny or not based on which part is lit by the sun as it rotates around Earth over 29 days. The different appearances are called phases, including the new moon when it is dark, the first quarter when half is lit, the full moon when it is fully lit, and the last quarter when the left side is lit. It also provides details about the size, temperature, rocks, lack of air and water, and cratered surface of the moon.
The seasons and the moon - Social Science 3rd primary
The document discusses the seasons and phases of the moon. It explains that Earth revolves around the sun over the course of 365 days, causing the seasons. Summer occurs when Earth is closest to the sun, winter is farthest, and spring and autumn are the transitional periods. It also notes that the moon orbits Earth every 28 days, going through phases from new moon to full moon and back as its illuminated side faces Earth.
Phases of the moon
The document discusses the phases of the moon. It explains that the moon appears to change shapes due to the revolution of the moon and earth. There are eight phases of the moon: new moon, waxing crescent, first quarter, waxing gibbous, full moon, waning gibbous, last quarter, and waning crescent. Each phase is described in terms of the portion of the moon that is illuminated and how long it lasts.
Instructions for final task
This table provides a framework for including all necessary information in a task about Earth and its location in the universe. It outlines 6 topics to cover: 1) where Earth is located in the solar system and Milky Way, 2) details about Earth's size and composition, 3) the importance of the Sun as a star for life on Earth, 4) how Earth's rotation causes day and night, 5) how Earth's revolution around the Sun and tilted axis cause seasons, and 6) facts about Earth's moon including its orbit and phases. The document stresses using clear and scientific explanations, comparative language, diagrams or drawings, and third-person singular verbs to thoroughly describe Earth and its place in the solar system.
Moon Phases
The moon does not produce its own light but reflects sunlight. Moon phases occur as the illuminated portion of the moon visible from Earth changes due to the relative positions of the sun, Earth, and moon. Major moon phases include new, crescent, first quarter, gibbous, full, third quarter, and waning crescent as the illuminated area of the moon waxes and wanes over the course of about a week each.

The solar system
The document compares Earth to other objects in the solar system. It explains that the solar system consists of the Sun and objects that orbit around it, including eight planets. The planets are divided into four rocky inner planets - Mercury, Venus, Earth, and Mars - and four gas giants farther from the Sun - Jupiter, Saturn, Uranus, and Neptune. Each planet is then briefly described, noting their order from the Sun, distinguishing physical characteristics, and composition.
What can we learn about the moon1
The document discusses the phases of the moon. It explains that the moon does not produce its own light, but rather reflects sunlight. As the moon orbits Earth, different portions are illuminated by the sun, appearing brighter or darker from Earth and causing the moon to seem to change shapes. The moon actually has the same shape as it rotates, but we see different phases depending on how much of the lit side is visible to us at a given point in the moon's orbit. The phases are caused by the changing angle of illumination as the moon circles Earth relative to the sun.
Moon Phases
The document discusses the phases of the moon, which are caused by the sun's rays reflecting off the moon as it orbits Earth in different positions each month. There are 13 moon cycles per year, with each cycle taking approximately one month and consisting of 8 phases that the moon goes through, from new moon to full moon and back again.
Solar system and_beyond phisics
The document discusses key facts about the solar system and beyond, including that there are nine planets in our solar system which orbit the sun. It also discusses that the Earth orbits the sun every 365 days and is kept in orbit by gravity, and the moon orbits the Earth every 28 days due to gravity as well. Further, it covers topics like the tilt of the Earth's axis causing seasons, and that our solar system is just one of many in the Milky Way galaxy and universe.
Science presentation
The document discusses the causes of day and night, seasons, the length of a year, and the phases of the moon. It explains that day and night are caused by the Earth's rotation, seasons are caused by the tilt of the Earth's axis, and it takes approximately 365.25 days for the Earth to orbit the sun. It also notes that the phases of the moon are due to its monthly orbit around Earth and its positioning relative to the Earth and sun, which determines how much of its illuminated side is visible to observers on Earth.

As the moon orbits the Earth over approximately 29.5 days, the portion illuminated from our perspective changes in a cycle from new to full and back to new moon again.
The Inner Planets
1. Mercury, Venus, Earth and Mars are the planets nearest to the sun and are also called the inner or rocky planets.
2. These inner planets are small and composed primarily of rocks and iron.
3. The document instructs students to answer questions about the other planets in the solar system, describe each planet, and write their answers in their notebook.
Eclipses
The document summarizes key facts about the moon. It notes that the moon rotates on its own axis, orbits Earth in 27.8 days, and moves with Earth around the sun. It influences ocean tides and stabilizes Earth's axial tilt, regulating our seasons. Dark spots on the moon are craters formed by impacts. The document also defines a lunar eclipse as occurring when Earth is between the sun and moon, darkening the moon.

Science: All about The outer-space
The document summarizes information about objects in our solar system including the sun, moon, planets, asteroids, comets, and meteors. It provides details on the composition and characteristics of these objects, such as the sun being a hot ball of gases that is the source of energy for life on Earth. It also describes the phases of the moon and eclipses that occur when the moon or Earth block sunlight from each other. The planets are classified as either terrestrial planets like Earth that are rocky, or Jovian planets like Jupiter that are large and gaseous. Comets originate from the Kuiper belt or distant Oort cloud and have icy compositions. Meteors are small pieces of rock that burn up as shooting
Day and Night by Pascale
Day occurs when the side of the Earth is facing the sun, providing light, while night occurs on the side facing away, resulting in darkness. Nocturnal animals are active at night and sleep during the day. The sun gives us light and warmth during the day and powers many things on Earth. At night, the moon and stars can be seen, with the moon reflecting sunlight and stars being distant balls of gas. Different places on Earth experience night and day at opposite times due to the planet's rotation.
Why does it seems that the sun move
The document discusses the apparent and real motions of the sun, earth, and stars. It explains that the sun appears to move across the sky each day, but it is actually the earth that rotates daily on its axis, causing day and night. The earth also revolves around the sun once per year. The earth's tilted axis and revolution around the sun together cause the seasons by changing the angle at which sunlight strikes different parts of the earth through the year. Shadows appear in different positions depending on the time of day due to changes in the sun's position as earth rotates.
Edu 653 presentation

There are eight recognized phases of the Moon - New Moon, Waxing Crescent, First Quarter, Waxing Gibbous, Full Moon, Waning Gibbous, Last Quarter, and Waning Crescent - defined by the portion of the Moon that appears illuminated from our perspective on Earth.
Ch. 17 l.s. 2
The document discusses patterns that can be seen in the night sky and provides details about the moon phases and eclipses. It explains that the moon revolves around the Earth and rotates on its axis, causing the shapes and illumination that we see over the course of a month. The phases include the new moon, waxing crescent, first quarter, waxing gibbous, full moon, waning gibbous, third quarter, and waning crescent. Eclipses occur when the moon or Earth pass through each other's shadows. There are lunar and solar eclipses. The document also briefly discusses stars and constellations visible in the night sky.

The document discusses the phases of the moon. It begins with an introduction to the moon and its phases. It then provides details on each phase of the moon - New Moon, Waxing Crescent, First Quarter, Waxing Gibbous, Full Moon, Waning Gibbous, Third Quarter, and Waning Crescent. Activities are included, such as a modeling activity to demonstrate how the moon orbits the Earth. The document concludes with recapping the phases of the moon and providing an assignment to observe and draw the moon's current phase.
LIGHT, SHADOWS AND REFLECTIONS.pptx
Light enables us to see objects and comes from luminous sources like the sun and stars or non-luminous sources like candles when lit. Light travels in a straight line and when it hits an object, the object can be seen if the light is reflected into our eyes. Shadows are formed when light is blocked by an opaque object, and have properties like shape depending on the object and light source, and being black in color regardless of the object's color. Solar and lunar eclipses occur when the sun, moon, and earth are aligned so that one casts its shadow on another.

The document discusses observations about the sky, sun, moon, stars, and planets:
1. The sun appears to go below the horizon at night but does not disappear - it is a star that gives light and heat to Earth.
2. The sun warms the Earth unevenly throughout the day, appearing low in the morning and evening and high at noon when it is hottest.
3. The moon does not produce its own light but reflects the sun's light, appearing in the night sky and sometimes during the day, with its shape changing over 28 days as it orbits Earth.
4. Stars are very distant suns that appear as patterns or constellations in the night sky, like
The moon
The moon was formed from debris after a collision between Earth and another object early in its formation. It revolves around Earth while rotating on its axis, so the same side always faces Earth. The moon has no atmosphere and one-sixth the gravity of Earth. It does not produce its own light but reflects sunlight. The changing appearance of the moon's illuminated side from our perspective on Earth causes the monthly cycle of moon phases as the relative positions of Earth, moon, and sun shift.
Stars & the Solar System
The document provides information about stars and objects in the night sky, including the moon, planets, and constellations. It discusses that the night sky appears brighter in rural areas with little light pollution compared to cities. The moon's phases and orbit are described, as well as prominent constellations like Ursa Major and Orion. Details are given about planets in the solar system, their orbits, rotation, and natural satellites. Other celestial objects like asteroids, comets, and meteors are also summarized.
Moon hybrid marshall cscope
The document discusses key facts about the moon, including that it is Earth's natural satellite and was likely formed by either a piece of Earth separating due to centrifugal force or an object colliding with Earth. It goes through the eight phases of the moon over its 29.5 day cycle, caused by the changing angle of sunlight reflecting off its surface as it orbits Earth. Solar and lunar eclipses occur when the moon passes between Earth and sun or Earth passes between moon and sun, blocking light, but this does not happen with every new or full moon.
EARTH MEASURED - PHASE OF THE MOON
Information on the different phases of the Moon and Planet Earth presents an overview of several aspects of our home, from a geological perspective.
What can we learn about the moon
The document discusses the phases of the Moon and how it appears to change shapes in the night sky. It explains that the Moon does not actually change shapes but goes through phases as it orbits Earth. The phases, which take place over 29 days, are caused by the varying portions of the Moon that are illuminated by sunlight as the Moon's position changes relative to Earth and the Sun. The phases include the new moon, waxing crescent, first quarter, waxing gibbous, full moon, waning gibbous, third quarter, and waning crescent.
PHASES OF THE MOON.pptx
This classroom observation document summarizes a science lesson about the phases of the moon. The teacher led students in reviewing statements about things that happen before, during, and after a typhoon. They then learned about the phases of the moon through a song. The teacher described each phase and had students draw the eight phases. They discussed how the moon's phases are caused by the sun's light reflecting off its surface and how tides are influenced by the gravitational pull of the moon and sun.
The moon
The moon revolves around Earth once every 27 days, keeping the same side facing Earth. It reflects sunlight and its illuminated half changes shape in a cycle from new moon to first quarter to full moon to third quarter over 291⁄2 days. The moon is the closest celestial object to Earth at 384,000 km away. It has many impact craters and temperature extremes ranging from 127°C during the day to -173°C at night. Telescopes allow observation of details on the moon's surface.
PhasesoftheMoon notes.pptx
The phases of the Moon occur as it orbits Earth over the course of approximately 28 days. As the Moon circles the Earth, the portion of its surface that is illuminated by the Sun changes from our perspective based on the relative positions of the Moon, Earth, and Sun. There are eight distinct phases that repeat in a cycle: new Moon, waxing crescent, first quarter, waxing gibbous, full Moon, waning gibbous, last quarter, and waning crescent. A common misconception is that the Moon's phases are caused by the Earth's shadow, but lunar eclipses are the actual result of the Moon passing through the Earth's shadow.
Astronomy 1 Ppt
The document summarizes key concepts about sunlight and its travel from the sun to earth. It explains that sunlight takes approximately 8 minutes to reach earth from the sun, traveling at 300,000 km per second. It also describes how shadows are formed when light is blocked, and how the earth's rotation causes day and night and influences the seasons.

- 12. A ‘moon’ is the name of a body which orbits another body, as long as it is not a star. Earth has its own moon which can be seen on any clear night. Just like how the Earth orbits the sun, the Moon orbits Earth. : The Moon
- 13. The Moon’s Orbit The moon takes 27 days (and 8 hours) to orbit the Earth. The Moon has an elliptical orbit rather than a circular orbit, which means it orbits the Earth in an egg shape. As a result, the distance from the Earth to the Moon varies from 363,104 kilometers to 405,696 km.
- 14. At night the Moon gives us light, but it isn’t a light source like the Sun. It actually reflects the light from the Sun. Sometimes the Earth reflects light onto the moon. This is called ‘Earthshine’, and is why we can sometimes see the Moon during the daytime. The Moon
- 15. Looking at the Moon from Earth, it looks like it keeps changing shape. Can you think of why this might be? The Moon
- 16. Remember that the Sun (the torch) does not move, it just helps for this little experiment as it is just the shadows you are looking at. The best way to show how we see different phases of the Moon is by shining a torch on a ball in a dark room. As you move the torch around the ball, you will see different shadows. The Moon
- 17. Shapes of the Moon Full Moon New Moon Crescent Gibbous
- 18. Why does the moon appear to change shape? Sunlight The Moon reflects the Sun’s light. What part we see of the Moon depends on where the Moon is when orbiting the Earth.
- 19. Waxing and Waning Waning means that we can see less of the Moon. Waxing means that we can see more of the Moon.
