Look at the below links to help learn about the moon’s motions through space.  Review this by tomorrow.

• Moon’s rotation and revolution review video
• Video and animation describing the differences between the amount of days for one revolution (sidereal month 27 days) and the amount of days between new moon phases (lunar month 29.5 days).
  1. Video
  2. Animation

• Moon phase simulator showing a 2D top down perspective that can be rotated to an Earth perspective.
  Homefun questions to be considered from the moon phase simulator link are below.

1. Turn on steps 3, 4, 5,and 6.
2. (Top Down View)  Notice that the same half of the moon is always getting light from the sun as you revolve it around the Earth.
3. (Earth View)  Notice that the section of the moon that is visible to Earth shows only some of the light from the sun depending on the angle.  This causes the phases.
4. Learn the moon phases along with what they look like from a  top down view.
