  1. Phases, Eclipses, and Tides A B C Phases – different shapes of the moon you see from Earth. D F E H I G

  2. Eclipse – an object in space comes between the sun and a third object and it casts a shadow on that object.Solar Eclipse – when the moon blocks the view of the sun. Umbra – very darkest part of the moon’s shadow Penumbra – larger part of the shadow that is less dark

  3. Lunar Eclipse – occurs during a full moon when the Earth is directly between the moon and the sun

  4. Tides – rise and fall of ocean water caused by differences in how much the moon’s gravity pulls on different parts of Earth Spring – force produces a tide with the greatest difference between low and high tides – during a full and new moon Neap – tide with least difference between low and high tides – during the first and third quarter moon

  5. Earth’s Moon • The surface has many different features, including: • Maria – dark, flat areas made from hardened rock from huge lava flows • Craters – large round pits caused by the impacts of meteoroids • Highlands – rugged moon surface, lighter in color Statistics: The moon is very dry and airless, it has no liquid water It is small compared to earth – 3476 km It has a large variation in surface temperature throughout the day – 130oC to -180oC Thought to exist because of the collision theory and that it was once part of Earth
