Use the Moon-disc figure. It shows the Moon as seen by a Northern Hemisphere observer. Which phase is shown?
Use the Moon-disc figure. It shows the Moon as seen by a Northern Hemisphere observer. Which phase is shown?
Use the Moon-disc figure. It shows the Moon as seen by a Northern Hemisphere observer. Which phase is shown?
Use the Moon-disc figure. It shows the Moon as seen by a Northern Hemisphere observer. Which phase is shown?
Use the Moon-disc figure. It shows the Moon as seen by a Northern Hemisphere observer. Which phase is shown?
Use the overhead Moon model. Which phase would be seen from Earth?
Use the overhead Moon model. Which phase is seen from Earth when the Moon is at M?
Use the Moon-disc figure. It shows the Moon as seen by a Northern Hemisphere observer. Which phase is shown?
Tonight the Moon is new. About how long will it take for the same observer to see the next new Moon?
An observer sees a waxing crescent just after sunset. Which major phase comes next in the normal phase sequence?
A full Moon is visible tonight. About how many nights will pass before the Moon reaches third quarter?
A first quarter Moon is high in the evening sky. About how many days later will it be full?
The Moon's lit portion is growing larger each night but is still less than half the disk. What word describes that change?
After a waning gibbous phase, which phase comes next in the Moon's normal sequence?
Use the two-disc figure. It shows the Moon a few nights apart, first the left disk and then the right disk, as seen from the Northern Hemisphere. What part of the cycle is shown?
Use the eclipse diagram. Which event is shown?
Use the eclipse diagram. Which event is shown?
A ground observer is in the Moon's lighter outer shadow, not the dark central shadow. What would that observer see?
Use the eclipse diagram. Suppose the Moon passed only through the lighter region marked P and never entered the region marked U. What type of lunar eclipse would that be?
Use the eclipse diagram. What kind of eclipse can this alignment produce?
Use the eclipse diagram. What kind of eclipse can this alignment produce?
The Moon is new and its shadow cone crosses a narrow path on Earth. What event would people inside the dark central path see?
Use the eclipse diagram. Suppose the full Moon moved only partly into the region marked U, with the rest of it outside U. Which event would be modeled?
Use the tide-alignment figure. The Sun, Moon, and Earth are nearly in a line at new Moon. What tidal condition results?
Use the tide-alignment figure. The Moon is full, with Earth between the Sun and Moon. What tide pattern is expected?
Use the tide-alignment figure. The Sun and Moon pull at right angles to each other. What tide pattern does this produce?
The Moon is at third quarter in the tide model. How do the Sun and Moon affect the ocean tide bulges?
A coastal station has especially high high tides and especially low low tides. Which Moon positions best explain that larger tidal range?
A harbor has its smallest difference between high water and low water when the Sun and Moon are positioned as in the tide model. What tide is this?
The tide model shows a straight Sun-Earth-Moon alignment. Compared with a quarter-Moon alignment, what should happen to tidal range?
Use the tide graph. About how much time passes from the first high water to the next high water?
Use the tide graph. About how long does the water take to go from the morning high tide to the following low tide?
Use the tide graph. Which labeled time is closest to the lowest water level shown?
Use the tide graph. What is the approximate tidal range between the highest high tide and the lowest low tide?
Why does a solar eclipse not happen at every new Moon?
A full Moon usually does not pass through Earth's shadow. What orbital feature explains this?
An eclipse can occur only when a new or full Moon is near one of the two points where the Moon's orbit crosses the ecliptic. What are those points called?
If the Moon's orbit lay in exactly the same plane as Earth's orbit around the Sun, what would be most likely each month?
