That Doesn't Phase Me
Looks like a backwards C
What is the waxing crescent
During this eclipse, the Moon passes between Earth and the Sun, blocking some or all of the Sun from view.
Solar Eclipse
This is the name for the regular rise and fall of ocean water.
Tides
These bowl-shaped marks cover much of the Moon’s surface and were made when space rocks struck it.
Craters
This moon phase occurs when the entire side of the Moon facing Earth is lit by the Sun
Full moon
Happens right after the full moon
Waning Gibbous
During this eclipse, Earth is between the Sun and the Moon, and Earth’s shadow falls on the Moon.
Lunar Eclipse
The Moon’s gravitational pull is the main force that helps cause these changes in ocean water.
Gravity
These broad, dark plains on the Moon formed from ancient lava flows; their name means “seas.”
During this event, the Moon passes between the Sun and Earth, blocking the Sun’s light and making the sky dark during the day.
Solar Eclipse
Happens right before the new moon
waning crescent
This part of a shadow is the darkest region, where the light source is completely blocked.
Umbra
This tide occurs when ocean water reaches its highest level along a shore.
High Tide
This repeating change in the Moon’s appearance happens as we see different portions of its sunlit half.
Phases of the moon
This is the main cause of tides on Earth.
Moon's gravitational pull
Looks like 1/2 a moon, with the light side on the left
1st quarter
This phase of the Moon is needed for a solar eclipse to occur.
New Moon
These tides have the greatest tidal range and happen when the Sun, Moon, and Earth are aligned.
Spring Tides
About this many days pass while the Moon rotates once on its axis and orbits Earth once.

Neil Armstrong
Phase when the moon is between the sun and Earth
New Moon
In order for an eclipse to occur, the moon and Earth are
on the same plane
This is the difference in water level between high tide and low tide.
Tidal Range
Because the Moon’s rotation and revolution take about the same amount of time, this motion keeps the same lunar hemisphere facing Earth.
Synchronous Rotation
The longest of these get through the Earth's atmosphere to shine on the moon during a lunar eclipse
