Why do we only see one side of the moon?Q11 tmccauley6 https://padlet.com/tmccauley6/Bookmarks/wish/2184851738 We see only one side of the moon. That’s because it takes exactly
the same time to rotate (turn around) on its axis as it does to
travel once around Earth. This means that one side of the moon
is always hidden from us.
It takes the moon almost twenty-eight days to go around Earth.
During this time, it looks to us as if the moon is changing shape. ]]> 2022-05-15 23:46:53 UTC https://padlet.com/tmccauley6/Bookmarks/wish/2184851738 Add a diagram to your Padlet showing the phases of the moon - use a Google image search to help.

oceans towards it. This helps to cause our tides. The sun’s
gravity also pulls on Earth’s oceans. When the moon and the
sun are in a line, their gravity combines and we get large tides
