What is Waxing moon and Wanning Moon?
what are the two hemispheres?
Waxing - when the light side of the moon is getting bigger
Wanning- when it gets smaller
Northern and southern hemisphere
200
why are they all sphere?
Due to gravity
200
What does this model show us?
The Earth's gravity makes bigger and bigger orbit to make it go faster so it can get to the moon.

What is the circular motion of Moon called?
ORBIT

Moon changes shapes and this is called
Phases

what is the hottest planet?
which planet has most volcanoes?
Venus
300
why is Sun's gravity much stronger than Earth's?
Because Sun is much bigger than Earth.

When the moon is further away from the sun than Earth, we see lots of light side and only a little of the dark side.
what is this phase called?
This phase is called Gibbous phase

Name all of Mars' Moon
Uranus
One
Phobos and Deimos
400
Is Moon's gravity weaker of stronger? Why?
It is Weaker, because moon is smaller than Earth
400
What is our Galaxy called?
Milky way Galaxy
400
What does Moon have?
Moon has many Craters
400
when the moon is the same distance away from sun as Earth, we see half of each side.
what is this phase called?
First quarter moon
400
What is a Solar Eclipse?
That the moon, as it orbits the Earth, comes in between the sun and the Earth, thereby blocking the sun and preventing any sunlight from reaching us
500
Why is earth sphere?
why is Moon Sphere?
Why is Sun Sphere?
Because the Earth's gravity pulls everything towards itself.
Because moon's gravity pulls all the rock it is made of towards the center.
Because the Sun's gravity pulls all the gas it is made of towards the center.
500
Name the five types of enquiry?
Fair testing, Pattern seeking, Identification and Classification, Observation and Research
500
Why does Moon have CRATERS
Because of the space rocks that hit the Moon's surface.
500
When the moon is closer to the Sun than earth, we see only a little of the light side and lots of the dark side.
what is this phase called?
A Crescent Moon
500
What is Lunar Eclipse?
Lunar eclipses occur at the full moon phase. When Earth is positioned precisely between the Moon and Sun, Earth’s shadow falls upon the surface of the Moon, dimming it and sometimes turning the lunar surface a striking red over the course of a few hours. Each lunar eclipse is visible from half of Earth.
