Moon Phases
This phase occurs when the Earth is between the Sun and the moon
Full moon
The eclipse type where the moon is covered
Lunar
The relative height of the path in the sky for the sun in the summertime.
Higher
The earth rotates on this.
Its axis.
Describe a 1st quarter moon phase
The right side of the moon is lit, but the left side is dark.
This is the darkest part of the Earth's shadow during a lunar eclipse
Umbra
The angle of sunlight in the winter.
Indirect sunlight
The movement that causes day and night
Rotation
Counterclockwise.
This is the moon phase the moon is in during a solar eclipse.
New Moon
The season when your hemisphere is tilted towards the Sun
Summer
This word describes the path of revolution.
Orbit.
The two things that the moon does that causes moon phases.
The moon orbits around the Earth and reflects the sunlight.
The eclipse that lasts longer than the other.
Lunar Eclipse
The amount of daylight hours around the world if there was no tilt
12 hours
The amount of Earth rotations in one Earth revolution.
365 rotations.
The reason why each moon phase can be in a different position every month.
The moon's tilted/wobbly orbit.
The name of that describes the areas that get to experience a total solar eclipse
Path of Totality
The ultimate reason why Australia experiences winter when the US experiences summer.
They are in different hemispheres and with the tilt, Australia gets indirect sunlight while the US gets direct sunlight.
(Opposite hemispheres of the world)
How the days (time exposed to the sun and time exposed to the darkness) would change if the Earth rotated faster.
The days would be shorter.
