The Moon

The moon's surface features include vast plains known as lunar maria, which are formed by ancient volcanic activity. It also has numerous craters created by impacts from asteroids and comets, showcasing varying sizes and depths. Additionally, the moon has highlands, which are elevated regions with rugged terrain, and rilles, which are narrow channels that may have been formed by lava flows. These features collectively illustrate the moon's geological history and processes.

Collectively the whole is the 'Lunar Phases'.

Each phase has a name.

#1; New Moon, (day time ; Solar Eclipse occasionally(

#2 ; Waxing Crescent ( Early evening)

#3 ; First Quarter (mid evening)

#4 ; Waxing Gibbous ( late evening)

#5 ; Full Moon (midnight) ( Lunar eclipse occasionally(

#6; Waning Gibbous (late night)

#7 ; Last Quarter ( early morning)

#8 ; Waning Crescent ( morning)

#9 ; Next New Moon

Brackets are approximate time of day when the phase will be seen.

The Moon and the Earth acts like a binary system, and move together round the Sun.

Diagrams showing the Earth's orbit around the Sun are not exact.

The Earth moves in and out of this mean track because the Moon is also pulling us in and out of this track.

The Moon also lies at a 5 degree planar angle to the plane of the Earth/Sun. So we actually move up and down from this mean plane/track. It's like a dance in space, with the Moon.

Since the Earth has a year of 365 days to orbit the Sun , it takes the Moon as its binary partner with it. So the Moon also takes 1 year to orbit the Sun. In that time the Moon and Earth have revolved around each other approximately 13 times, (13 Mo(o)nths).

The actual track of the Earth is not the smooth ellipse as seen in diagrams, but an ellipse were the track-line weaves in and out and up and down of the mean track-line. Similarly for the Moon, but the Moon's mean track-line is more acute , because the Moon is less massive then the Earth.

Yes!!! As I said above, the Earth and Moon 'dance through space' around the Sun.

Moon sand is named for its similarity to the fine, soft texture of lunar soil, which was brought back to Earth by astronauts from the Apollo missions. The name evokes a sense of playfulness and creativity, as the sand is designed to be moldable and easy to shape, much like the way lunar dust might behave. Additionally, the term "moon" suggests a magical or otherworldly quality, enhancing its appeal as a children's sensory play material.

The Earth is the closest body to the moon.

YES!!!

If you are on the Moon (astronauts), they see the Earth as a heavenly body.

NO!!!

The Earth has only ONE Moon. It is named to MOON !!!!!

Other planets in the Solar System can have multiple Moons.

Careful!!!!

1 Revolution of the Earth is one year . Otherwise known as one orbit of the Sun.

2. Rotation of the Earth is one day . Otherwise known as 24 hours.

One full revolution of the Earth around the Sun takes approximately one year, specifically about 365.25 days. This period defines the length of a year and is responsible for the changing seasons. The Earth's rotation on its axis, which creates day and night, takes about 24 hours.

The first man on the moon was astronaut Neil Armstrong, who achieved this historic milestone on July 20, 1969. He was part of NASA's Apollo 11 mission, which successfully landed on the lunar surface. Armstrong famously declared, "That's one small step for [a] man, one giant leap for mankind," as he stepped onto the moon. He was joined shortly after by fellow astronaut Buzz Aldrin, while Michael Collins remained in lunar orbit.

The sun and moon serve essential roles in regulating life on Earth. The sun provides light and warmth, driving photosynthesis in plants, which is fundamental for the food chain and climate regulation. The moon influences ocean tides and has been crucial for navigation and cultural practices throughout history. These celestial bodies are often referenced in literature and philosophy, symbolizing concepts like time, change, and duality.

The moon and stars appear to wander against the backdrop of fixed stars due to their differing orbits and positions in our solar system. The moon orbits Earth, completing a cycle approximately every 29.5 days, which causes it to change its position relative to stars each night. Similarly, planets, which are also considered "wandering stars," move along their own orbits around the sun, resulting in their apparent motion against the more distant, fixed stars. This relative motion is a combination of the orbital mechanics of celestial bodies and the Earth's rotation.

The answer to the riddle is "shadow." A shadow can be seen in the dark when illuminated by a light source, and it is a part of you as it is created by your presence blocking light. However, when the sun is up and shining brightly, shadows can become less defined or disappear altogether.

Early astronomers believed the dark spots on the moon, known as maria, were vast oceans or seas. This interpretation stemmed from the Latin word "maria," which means "seas." They thought these areas were filled with water, reflecting a common misconception influenced by the moon's appearance. It wasn't until later observations revealed their true nature as basaltic plains that this idea was corrected.

Heavenly bodies revolve around the Sun, by obeying the Laws of Newtonian Mechanics(Gravity).

All bodies would remain stationary or in unioform(straight line/speed) motion, unless acted upon by a force.

That force is the mass of of the body and the acceleration dies to gravity.

As the Earth has gravity , so does the Sun. The Sun being a more massive object has greater acceleration (gravity). So as the Earth moves in a straight line, the Sun's gravity pulls is in to the Sun. However, these forces are all Balanced . so our forward speed is balanced by the Sun;s gravity, so we don't 'fall into the Sun' , but just go round/orbit the Sun.

The planets all revolve/orbit the Sun in an approximate plane . Think of it in 2 -dimension

Out of this plane are comets, such as Halley's Comet. This object revolves about the Sun in a 3-dimension. as do meteors.

The Moon does NOT have any Natural Satellites.

The Moon is the natural satellite of the Earth.

Some astronomers consider the Earth and the Moon to be a Binary System. This is because The Earth's Moon is so large, compared to the Moon's of other planets, that it has an effect on the Earth's orbital movement about the Sun.

The two inner planets , Mercury and Venus, do NOT have any Moons. However, Mars, and the other outer planets do have moons. but compared to the planets size, their respective Moons are tiny.

First of all , to correct your English spelling. It is 'phases' , NOT 'fases'.

There are four phases. They are ;-

New Moon

(Waxing Crescent)

First Quarter

(Waxing Gibbous)

Full Moon

(Waning Gibbous)

Last ( or third ) Quarter.

(Waning Crescent)

Next New Moon

The bracketed terms are the visible shape of the Moon between each phase.

When you see only half the Moon's disc in the EVENING sky.

The names of the phases of the Moon are ; -

New Moon

Waxing Crescent

First Quarter

Waxing Gibbous

Full Moon

Waning Gibbous

Last Quarter

Waning Crescent

Next New Moon.

The whole takes about 28 or 29 days to complete.

From Last Quarter , through NEW Moon, to First Quarter is approximately 14 or 15 days.

about 3 or 4 days

From NEW Moon to FIRST QUARTER is approximately 7 days.

However, it is only visible as a crescent for about 3 to 4 days, when closer to the First Quarter.

As of October 2023, there are four astronauts who walked on the Moon still alive: Buzz Aldrin, David Scott, Charles Duke, and Harrison Schmitt. They participated in the Apollo missions that landed on the lunar surface between 1969 and 1972. Their contributions to space exploration remain significant as they are part of a very select group of individuals who have experienced walking on another celestial body.

In 14 days, you will most likely see a full moon. The lunar cycle lasts about 29.5 days, so two weeks after a new moon, the moon will be nearly full, reaching its full phase around that time. If you're observing the moon during that period, expect it to appear bright and fully illuminated.
