Have you ever wondered why, some nights, the moon looks like a big, bright circle, and some nights it looks like a little sliver? Join Jessi and Squeaks to learn about how the moon's orbit changes the way we see it here on Earth! ---------- Love SciShow Kids and want to help support it?

When you open this simulation, click launch. Pay attention to the person standing on the Earth. That represents where you are on Earth and what you see based on where you are. Pay attention to the location of the moon in relation to the Sun and Earth and what phase the moon is in. The picture at the top will be what you would see if you were to look up at the sky. When you open the simulation, you will start at the New Moon phase, where the moon will appear completely dark in the sky. You have two options to progress through time.

1. You can drag the moon or the Earth.

2. You can use the play button, < 1 hour, > 1 hour, << 1 day, or >> 1 day buttons on the ride side of the screen.

Relate observable Moon patterns to motions within the Earth–Sun–Moon system using this digital model from Astronomy Education at the University of Nebraska-Lincoln. Linked Earth and space perspectives enable students to recognize cause-and-effect relationships. They can also visualize the spatial and time scales of phenomena such as the Moon’s apparent path in the sky and the Moon’s appearance in the day sky and night sky.
