The moon is a large piece of rock. There is no water or weather on the moon so nothing alters it except for when it is hit by meteors which cause the craters we can see from earth.

The moon is half in the reflection of the sun, so half of the moon is lit up and the other half is dark.The moon is a huge ball that is spinning as it orbits the earth. As it spins we see different amounts of it.

It is day here because the sun is facing us and it is bright It is night here because it is dark as the earth spins away from the sun. It takes the earth 24 hours to spin all the way round once and that is what we call our day.

As the earth rotates the sun only shines on parts of it therefore making it day and night.

The moon orbits the earth, while the earth orbits the sun. While the moon orbits the earth,it spins and you may see the whole moon,you may see the crescent moon,or you may see the qurter moon.

The earth orbits the sun and that causes night and day.

The moon is different sizes because when the sun reflex the moon it has black patches by the sun not shining on that bit.

It becomes night and day by the sun being on one side [which is day] but because the sun cant be on both sides then the other side would be dark.

Half of the moon is lit up and the over half is not (light can not go round corners).

The moon reflects the sun's light .

The moon orbits the Earth this takes 1 month.

While the moon orbits the Earth the lit up side stays facing the sun.

The moon rotates around the earth at 30000 mph.

Every star gives its own light and heat.

The Sun is a star

The moon has no natural light, it reflects light off the sun.

The shape of the moon appears to change in the sky because:

The moon is lit by the Sun. Half is dark and half is light.

It is orbiting the Earth and so we see either the dark side, a bit of light, or the light side, depending on its position.

Night and day is caused by the Earth spinning on its axis once every 24 hours. Half of the Earth is dark (facing away from the Sun) and half is light (facing towards the Sun).

One half of the moon is always lit by the sun but as it travels round the Earth, different amounts of the sunlit side can be seen. This is why the moon seems to change shape in the sky.

Night and day is caused by the rotation of the Earth. That means only half of the world is facing the  sun. The Earth rotates the sun once every 24 hours making night and day continuously.

2. Because the sun reflects on the moon, we see a reflection of it's light, though the moon has no light of it's own. The light part of the moon is always pointing towards the sun, so when the moon is orbiting the Earth, we see the part that is shown to us from the angle that we are looking at the moon.

3. The light part of the sun is where it is day, the dark part is where it is night. While England is in day, Australia is in night.

While the earth rotates around the sun the moon rotates around the earth. When it is day time in England it is night time in Australia this is because we are on opposite sides of the earth; when the moon is facing the earth on one side the sun is facing it on the other creating night and day.

There are eight different phases that the moon goes through. These are: new moon,waxing crescent moon, first quarter moon, waxing gibbous moon, full moon, waning gibbous moon, last quarter moon, waning crescent moon, and Blue Moon.

The moon changes shape every night because it orbits the earth every day.To cause nigh and day

the earth has to orbit the sun in 24 hours.

The sun reflects on half of the moon leaving the other side black that is what we see and is called a new moon. As the moon orbits the earth the moon stays facing the sun. As the moon starts to orbit the earth you would only see a little bit of the lit up half of the moon that is called a cresent moon. As it carry's on orbiting then you will start to see more of the moon that is called a quarter moon. Then you would see all of the moon which is called a full moon. Then when it carry's on going you will start the see the darker side more and more and that will keep on going and going in the same way.

     ORDER OF THE MOONS CYCLE

New moon

Little bit of moon= Cresent moon

Then less than half a moon= A quarter moon

All of moon = Full moon

                                                                 NIGHT AND DAY

It is day in one part of the world when it is night on the other half of the world. As the world orbits ,the parts of the earth that was day ,start to face away from it and start to face the moon instead. The world takes 24 hours to take a complete a whole turn.

Because the moon orbits evry day that is why you see a new moon , cresent moon and a full moon

The earth moves round ; but the sun and the moon stay were they are . The earth spins 90 degrees every day . So in Australier it will be night time when we are awake.

The moon reflects the sun.

The light can't go around corners,so only half of the moon is lit up by the sun,so the other side must be dark.

Did you know the moon orbits the earth. As it does that ,the lit up side stays facing the sun?

The sun reflects on to the moon to make it shine at night time.The moon spins round the earth. There are three different types of moon the quarter moon the half moon and last but not least the full moon.Some people love to see the full moon and think it is one of a kind ;others get scared and say warewolves are going to come out!

The Moon is lit up by the Sun. It reflets the Sun's light, but can't get all around the Moon. Only half of the Moon is lit up. While the Moon orbits around the Earth, the Moon is facing the Sun. As the Moon starts to orbit, we start to see the lit up side. Here are the diffrent names of the part of the Moon we've seen sometimes: a cresont( only a small part of the lit up bit of the Moon is showing) ; a qutar moon ( a qutar of the Moon is showing) ; a half Moon ( where half of the Moon is showing) and a full moon ( where all of the lit up bit of the Moon is showing. If the Sun wasn't very bright, if it didn't reflet any light onto the Moon, then we wouldn't be able to see the Moon.

As the world orbits around the Sun, the sunlight lights up half of the Earth( that creates day) the other part of the Earth is dark( that creates night.) The Earth rotates every 24 hours, so every day we get day, night, day, night.

The shape of the moon changes as the sunlight hit the surface of the moon. For example, the shape can be a half cresent because the sun is shining on only half of the moon.

As the earth is spinning, only sun reflects on part of the earth. This means the other side of the world is in darkness, therefore 'night time' and then when the sun shines on the other side, it is then 'daytime'

The moon changes its position every night .The cause of night and day is when the sun is facing the united kingdom it is day and when the sun is not facing the united kingdom it is night .For example when it is day time here in England it is night time in Australia.The earth takes 24 hours for the whole earth to rotate

When the moon is full it is facing the earth and the sun, the sun is reflecting it's light on the moon to make it shine so we can see it.

When the moon is a quarter the moon it is half facing the sun and half facing the blackness of space.

All of the craters on the moon are from asteroids that have crashed down on the moons hardness and have dented it.

The first person to lay his foot on the moon was a man called Neil Armstrong he landed on the moon on the 21st July 1969.

1. You can only see the moon when light from the sun reflects it to Earth.

2. Half the moon always faces the sun.

3. The Earth goes round the Sun and the Moon goes round the Earth.

4. The moon has no water as has no weather systems.

5. Moon has craters no seas as people first thought.

6. Earth rotates one complete turn in every 24 hours.

7. The first part of the moon you see is called a crescent moon.

8. The first man on the moon was called Neil Armstrong, who said '' Thats one small step for man, and one giant leap for mankind.''

The shape of the moon changes because as earth orbits the moon

you can only see a bit of it . Night and day is causes by half of earth

facing the moon and the other half facing the sun for instance there

is sunlight in England ,but moonlight in Australia.

can see the sunrise.

Video 3

The earth rotates every 24 hours .As the earth rotates away from the sun we go into darkness.

video 4

The moon rotates around the sun. The moon is a large ball of rock. There are flat places called seas and mountains and craters made by asteroids, but no water is found on the moon. The moon is the only place humans have stood in space.

The moon orbits the earth and the light from the sun gives it shape.

The sun light shines on the earth which makes day light and when the earth turns away from the sun that makes night time, this happens every 24 hours.

 2. The moon reaflxs the sun but the light doesn't go round corners.

3. Moon orbits the earth.

4.when the moon orbits you can see it.

5. The flat areas on the moon are called seas because people use to think that they were but they was not because there was know water on the moon.

6. There are moutains  on the moon as well.

The shape of the moon changes from the sky when it is orbiting the earth. The shape changes because different parts of the moon face the sun at different times. There are five different phases of the moon. These phases are called... crescent, quarter, half, full and new.

The cause of night and day is the earth orbiting the sun. When half of the earth is facing the sun the other half is in darkness. For example when England is in daylight Australia is in darkness.

the moon orbits around the moon

qurter moon

full moon

it is all ways day and night because the sun is on the other side of the earth the sun is not on the other side

waxing crescent and waning crescent

A new moon,crescent moon'quarter moon and a full moon.

What causes day and night: it is day time on the side of the earth and night time on the other side due to the rotation of the earth which is on an axis (spin) as earth makes one full rotation every 24 hours.

these are caused when meteors hit the moon.  The moon doesn't

have any weather so the craters don't get worn down and they appear

to look like mountains.  It once was thought that the moon has seas

but there is no water there.

The moon appears to change shape when it is orbiting the earth.  When

the sun reflects off the moon down to earth it creates shapes which
are called:- crescent, quarter, half moon and full month.  When the moon

goes around the earth for a full circle this is then called a New Moon.

Day and night is caused when the earth orbits the sun,
half the earth will be in sunlight while the other half is in darkness. 

This happens every 24 hours.

the moon always face the sun , so when we are facing the moon not the sun you can see a full moon.    

The shape of the moon appears to change in sky because it moves around the Earth so some parts of it are hidden from the light of the sun.

The Earth rotates and in the part of the world facing the sun it is day, whilst in the part facing away from the sun, it is night.

A new moon is when the dark half of the moon is facing earth .

The moon comes more visible as it orbits around earth .

It is lit to various degrees during its orbit .

The second video demonstrated how the earth spins around to make night and day.

The third video explained how different parts of the world are night and day at different times.

The forth video showed astronauts who had just landed on the moon they were so happy they were stared bouncing

2.Many scientists believe that an asteroid impact caused the extinction of the dinosaurs around 65 million years ago

3.The Solar System formed around 4.6 billion years ago

4.Saturn isn't the only ringed planet, other gas giants such as Jupiter, Uranus and Neptune also have rings, they are just less obvious

5.Because of lower gravity, a person who weighs 200 pounds on earth would only weigh 76 pounds on the surface of Mars

6.The only planet that rotates on its side like a barrel is Uranus. The only planet that spins backwards relative to the others is Venus

Will the UK is facing the sun in Australia it is midnight and 24 hours later it is the same position.

the moon is lit up buy the sun and reflects the light back to earth. The moon orbits the earth. The shape of the moon appears to change as it rotates. When can't see the moon it is called a 'new moon', a crescent moon is when you can see a little slice, when you can see a bit more it is a quarter moon, and a full moon is where you can see a whole circle. Day and night is caused by the earth rotating around the sun, so when the sun faces the earth it is day. For example when Britain is facing the sun it is daylight and for Australia it would be night. When it is nighttime in Britain it is daylight in Australia. 1 rotation of the earth = 24hrs.

There is no water on the moon.

The moon is a great big ball of rock.

the moon appears to look different down on earth because we can only see one side of the moon and it may only be partly facing the sun.

because the earth spins around half of the earth is facing the sun and that part of the earth is light and the other part is dark so that is how night and day is created.
