New Moon:
The three bodies are lined up with the moon in the middle. When we look up at it, we're also looking in the direction of the sun. We're looking at the moon's dark backside, and we see nothing.

Full Moon:
The moon has traveled half-way around the earth. The three bodies are lined up with the earth in the middle. In order to look at the moon, we turn our back to the sun. We're looking straight at the illuminated half of the moon, and we see a full disk.

An object is in motion if its position changes relative to a what?

An object is in motion if it changes position relative to a reference point. Motion is a relative quantity and is expressed in respect to the position of another object. Example: both a car and the Earth are moving (earth is revolving around the sun) but if we express the motion of the car in respect to the Earth, we say the car is moving relative to the Earth. At the same time the earth is moving relative to the sun.

Which type of science project could be done to explain what relative humidity is?

A simple science project to explain relative humidity could involve using a hygrometer, which measures moisture in the air. Students can create a DIY hygrometer using a balloon, a straw, and a scale to observe how the balloon expands or contracts with changes in humidity. By measuring the changes in the balloon's size in different environments (like indoors vs. outdoors or during different weather conditions), students can visually demonstrate how relative humidity varies and its effects on everyday life. This hands-on approach helps to solidify the concept in a tangible way.
