Relationship Info About the Moon and Earth

# data[].attributes.body
The moon uses gravity to pull at the Earth causing predictable rises and falls in sea levels called Tides. An effect known as tidal breaking is slowing the earths rotation. Tidal breaking increases the length of our day by 2.3 milliseconds per century.

New moon - After one cycle through the phases the moon starts again as a new moon.
Waxing Crescent - It means that the moon just started to "grow" and only a little bit of the moon is exposed
First Quarter - This means that the moon  is growing and you can see half of the moon.
Waxing Crescent - This means that the moon pasted half way and is growing.
Full Moon - This means that you can see all of the moon, the moon will appear to shirk from now on.
Waning Gibbous - The moon just started to "shrink" and now around 25% is not visible.
Last Quarter - This means that the moon is getting smaller and is at the half way point.
Waning Crescent - This means that the moon is almost gone through all its phases.

The Moon is not a planet. The surface area of the moon is 14,658,000 square miles or 9.4 billion acres.
Only 59% of the moon's surface is visible from Earth.
The Moon has no global magnetic field.
When Alan Sheppard was on the moon, he hit a golf ball and drove it 2,400 feet, nearly one-half a mile.
The multi-layer spacesuits worn by the astronauts to the moon weighed 180 pounds on earth, but thirty pounds on the moon due to the lower gravity.
You can only see one side of the Moon from the Earth.

It takes 27 days, 7 hours, and 43 minutes for the Moon to complete one full orbit around Earth. However, it takes the Moon about 29.5 days to complete one cycle of moon phases.

The Moon is visible because the Moons luster allows the Sun's light to reflect off of the Moon and as Earth, the Moon, and Sun rotate more and less of the moon become visible.

The moon phases occur because of angles by the sun, also the suns reflection. For example when a new moon occurs the moon is between the Earth and sun, so the side of the moon facing towards us receives no direct sunlight.

A gibbous moon is when the moon is past the first quater but not at

A crescent moon is in between a new moon and the first quarter and also the last quarter and the new moon.
