Moon Motion • The moon orbits the Earth roughly once a month • It revolves counterclockwise • It takes 27.3 days to make one complete revolution
Does the Moon rotate? Yes How long does it take for the Moon to make one complete rotation? 27.3 days SOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO????? On the Moon one day equals ____________.
Because the moon’s rotation time is the same as its revolution time… what does this cause? • The same side of the moon ALWAYS faces the earth!
The moon does not produce any light. • It reflects the Sun’s light. MOON PHASES -Half of the moon is always lit up. -We see different phases because the lit up side of the moon in not necessarily the half that faces the Earth.
