Phases of the Moon

PHASES of the MOON
New Moon: Moon is not visible. новая луна



Waxing Crescent: Less than half of the moon is visible. растущая луна


First Quarter: Half of the moon is visible. первая четверть


Waxing Gibbous: More than half of the moon is visible.растущая луна


Full Moon: Whole moon is visible. полная луна



Waning Gibbous: More than half of the moon is visible. убывающая луна



Last Quarter: Half of the moon is visible. последняя четверть



Waning Crescent: Less than half of the moon is visible. убывающая луна


 Waxing: When the moon is getting bigger. растущий



Waning: When the moon is getting smaller. убывающий



There are  8 phases of the moon: New Moon, Waxing Crescent, First Quarter, Waxing Gibbous, Full Moon,. Waning Gibbous, Last Quarter and Waning Crescent.  They all represent the changes of the moon during one month. While this happens the moon is waxing( growing) and waning ( shrinking). One of the moon phase causes is revolution of the moon around the Earth.

CRITICAL THINKING QUESTION


The Earth's movement gives us seasons. Because the Earth moves around the Sun its  axis points on the Sun we have summer and spring time. But when its axis doesn't point on the Sun we have winter and fall. It also makes the Earth have direct or indirect sunlight. For example on equator is never winter because the  equator always points to the sun that makes this part of the Earth take the most sunlight.  Also Earth's movement makes influence on the tides , the change their level while the Earth revolves. And  because of the Moon revolution we have 8 phases of the moon.
