Each day you can see the moon a little bit more or less as it moves into a "new" phase. There are eight major phases, new moon, waxing crescent, 1st Q, waxing gibbous, full moon, waning gibbous, 3rd Q, and a waning crescent.]]> 2018-09-26 11:54:36 UTC https://padlet.com/hailey_still/nze5hs2muhjs/wish/285954952 hailey_still https://padlet.com/hailey_still/nze5hs2muhjs/wish/285967523 Here is a drawing consisting the phases of the Moon.

The Moon is Earth’s only natural satellite. Half of the Moon’s surface is always lit up by the Sun. As the Moon orbits Earth, you can see a different part of the sunlit half of the Moon every night. The Moon makes a complete circle around Earth, called a revolution, in about 28 days.]]> 2018-09-26 13:13:41 UTC https://padlet.com/hailey_still/nze5hs2muhjs/wish/285994685 hailey_still https://padlet.com/hailey_still/nze5hs2muhjs/wish/285995473 A lunar eclipse occurs on a full moon, and it should look as if the moon is no longer in the sky.  This can occur only when the sun, Earth, and moon are in a line. Also, a lunar eclipse happens when the moon moves into the earth's shadow, or its umbra.  ]]> 2018-09-26 13:14:44 UTC https://padlet.com/hailey_still/nze5hs2muhjs/wish/285995473 hailey_still https://padlet.com/hailey_still/nze5hs2muhjs/wish/286001477 Here is a drawing of a Lunar Eclipse.  As shown below Earth is casting a shadow on the moon.

Ever since the moon formed, about 4.5 billion years ago, it has been inching away from our planet (by about 1.6 inches, or 4 centimeters per year). The setup right now is perfect: the moon is at the perfect distance for Earth's shadow to cover the moon totally, but just barely. Billions of years from now, that won't be the case.]]> 2018-09-26 13:42:07 UTC https://padlet.com/hailey_still/nze5hs2muhjs/wish/286014687 hailey_still https://padlet.com/hailey_still/nze5hs2muhjs/wish/286019404 A solar eclipse occurs when the moon blocks most, or all the light from the sun.

If the Moon was only slightly closer to Earth, and orbited in the same plane and its orbit was circular, we would see eclipses each month. The lunar orbit is elliptical and tilted with respect to Earth’s orbit, so we can only see up to 5 eclipses per year.]]> 2018-09-27 11:37:18 UTC https://padlet.com/hailey_still/nze5hs2muhjs/wish/286440861 hailey_still https://padlet.com/hailey_still/nze5hs2muhjs/wish/286441346 Tides commence every day four times, two low tides and two high tides. Every day the tides occur at different times and go out and in a little more. There are two different types of tides, neap, lower highs and higher lows, and spring, higher highs and lower lows.]]> 2018-09-27 11:38:49 UTC https://padlet.com/hailey_still/nze5hs2muhjs/wish/286441346 hailey_still https://padlet.com/hailey_still/nze5hs2muhjs/wish/286441493 This is a drawing including spring tides.]]> 2018-09-27 11:39:30 UTC https://padlet.com/hailey_still/nze5hs2muhjs/wish/286441493 hailey_still https://padlet.com/hailey_still/nze5hs2muhjs/wish/286441549 Here is a song about spring and neap tides!]]> 2018-09-27 11:39:41 UTC https://padlet.com/hailey_still/nze5hs2muhjs/wish/286441549 hailey_still https://padlet.com/hailey_still/nze5hs2muhjs/wish/286441617 Here is an image showing how the moon and the sun's gravity affects the tides.

Height differences between high and low tides create tidal currents in coastal areas, and these currents can be strong enough to drive turbines.
