  1. 22.2 – The Earth-Moon-Sun System – Part II

  2. Do Now • What causes lunar phases?

  3. Do Now • What causes lunar phases? • Result of the motion of the moon and the sunlight that is reflected from its surface.

  4. Key Word • Perigee • Apogee • Illuminated

  5. Vocab Words • Solar Eclipse • Lunar Eclipse

  6. Motions of the Earth-Moon System • Earth has one natural satellite – the moon • Moon orbits Earth within a period of about a month. • Perigee – The moon is the closest to Earth • Apogee – The moon is the farthest from Earth • The motions of the Earth-moon system constantly change the relative positions of the sun, Earth, and moon. • This results in changes in the appearance of the moon, called the phases of the moon.

  8. Lunar Motions • Since the moon rotates and revolves every 27 1/3 days, we only ever see one side of the moon. • Only satellites and Apollo missions have ever seen the back side of the moon.

  9. Eclipses are simply shadow effects. • Solar Eclipse • Lunar Eclipse • http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xwGs8_otT64 Eclipses

  10. Solar Eclipse • http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XMyqPxFh5Zw&list=PL59BD9065DEAD4B6E • When the moon moves in a line directly between Earth and the sun, it casts a dark shadow on Earth. • Moon must be at a new moon phase and the moon’s orbit must cross the plane of the ecliptic for an eclipse to take place. • http://eclipse.gsfc.nasa.gov/SEdecade/SEdecade2011.html • Next total for North America is August 21, 2017

  11. Lunar Eclipse • http://youtu.be/2dk--lPAi04 • http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0FdeLGpAQwQ • When the moon moves within Earth’s shadow. • Moon must be at a full moon phase and the moon’s orbit must cross the plane of the ecliptic for an eclipse to take place. • More common than solar eclipses. • http://eclipse.gsfc.nasa.gov/eclipse.html • Next total for North America is November 13, 2012
