1 The Moon A look at our nearest neighbor in Space! Free powerpoints at
2 What is the Moon? A natural satellite One of more than 96 moons in our Solar System The only moon of the planet Earth
3 Location, location, location! About 384,000 km (240,000 miles) from Earth 3,468 km (2,155 miles) in diameter (about ¼ the size of Earth)
4 Born 4-5 billion years ago Formed from impact of Mars-sized planetesimal on Earth Debris from both objects melted together to form the Moon Birth of the Moon
5 Cut to the Core 3 major divisions of the Lunar interior Crust - average thickness of about 70 kilometers Mantle Core - radius is between 300 and 425 kilometers
6 The Moon s Surface No atmosphere No liquid water Extreme temperatures Daytime = 130 C (265 F) Nighttime = -190 C (-310 F) 1/6 Earth s gravity
7 Lunar Features - Highlands Mountains up to 7500 m (25,000 ft) tall Rilles (trenchlike valleys)
8 Lunar Features - Craters Up to 2500 km (1,553 miles) across Most formed by meteorite impact on the Moon Some formed by volcanic action inside the Moon
9 Lunar Features - Maria Originally thought to be seas by early astronomers Darkest parts of lunar landscape Filled by lava after crash of huge meteorites on lunar surface 3-4 billion years ago Mostly basalt rock
10 Craters Can you see the rays? Maria Does this photo show us a limb or terminator line?
11 Movements of the Moon Revolution Moon orbits the Earth every 271/3 days The moon rises in the east and sets in the west The moon rises and sets 50 minutes later each day Rotation Moon turns on its axis every 27 days Same side of Moon always faces Earth
12 Far Side of the Moon First seen by Luna 3 Russian space probe in 1959 Surface features different from near side More craters Very few maria Thicker crust
13 It s Just a Phase Moonlight is reflected sunlight Half the moon s surface is always reflecting light From Earth we see different amounts of the Moon s lit surface The amount seen is called a phase
14 Waxing and Waning New moon Waxing Crescent moon First Quarter moon Waxing Gibbous moon Full moon Waning Gibbous moon Third Quarter moon Waning Crescent moon New moon
15 FOUR MAIN SHAPES FULL CRESCENT QUARTER GIBBOUS

17 Plane of earth s orbit Earth Moon Moon Plane of lunar orbit
18 Lunar Eclipses Moon moves into Earth s shadow this shadow darkens the Moon Umbra Penumbra About 2-3 per year Last up to 4 hours
19 Moon moves between Earth and Sun Moon casts a shadow on part of the Earth Total eclipses rare only once every 360 years from one location! Solar Eclipses
20 The Tides Tides caused by pull of Moon s gravity on Earth High tide Side facing Moon and side away from Moon Every 12 hours, 25 ½ minutes Low tide On sides of Earth
21 1950s to 1960s - probes Neil Armstrong First man on the Moon July 20, 1969 Six Apollo missions ( ) 382 kg (842 lbs) rocks 12 Americans have walked on the moon Exploring the Moon

32 Does this image show us the near side or far side of the moon? Far Side How can you tell?
33 Is this line the limb or terminator? Limb Terminator Is this line the limb or terminator?
34 Name this phase! First Quarter
35 Name this phase! Waxing Crescent
36 Does this image show the near side or the far side of the moon? Near Side
37 Name this phase! Waning Gibbous
38 Name this phase! Third Quarter
39 From what direction does the moon rise? The East
40 Name this phase! Waxing Gibbous
41 Name this phase! Waning Crescent
42 What might be happening in this image? Lunar Eclipse
43 Is this line the limb or the terminator? Limb
44 Name this phase! Look closely! Waxing Gibbous
45 True or False: The Far Side and the Dark Side of the moon are the same thing. False!
46 Name this phase! Full Moon
47 Name this phase! New Moon
