New moon, waxing crescent, 1st quarter, waxing gibbous, full moon, waning gibbous, 3rd quarter, waning crescent.
300
Why do we have seasons?
Because Earth is tilted!!!
300
What are tides?
Tides are the alternating rise and fall of sea level produced by the gravitational attraction of the moon and sun.

What is the definstion of Solar System, Galaxy and Universe
Solar System-A small grouping of orbiting stars
Galaxy-Group of millions or billions of stars and other masses held together
Universe-Totality of all things that exist
400
What are the definitions of waxing and waning?
Waxing means increasing in light on right side. Waning means decreasing on the left side.
400
During which phase of the moon do we see a lunar eclipse?
Full moon
400
Would the damage caused by a hurricane be worse during high or low tide? Why????
Damage would be worse during high tide because the tide is higher and this would cause more flooding and higher surf.
400
what is the order of the Luminosity least to greastest
1,000,000-100,000-10,000-1,000-100-10-1-0.1-0.01-0.001-0.0001
400
What is the order of the three by size smallest to largest
Solar System then Galaxy then Universe
500
If only a small portion of the moon was illuminated, which phase might this moon represent?
Either waxing or waning crescent.
500
Why don't we see a lunar or solar eclipse every month?
Because the moons orbit is tilted 5 degrees to Earth's orbit.
500
Why do we have tides?
We have tides because of the graviational pull of the moon and sun on Earth. The moon and Earth are attracted to each other just like magnets. The moon is pulling at everything on Earth and Earth holds onto everything except water because water is always moving. The moon is pulling upwards on the water while the earth is pulling downward. Slight advantage to the moon and thus we have tides.
