Lunar Phases and Time: What phase of the Moon is it when the following circumstances occur.  Be sure to draw labelled diagrams in support of your answers. a)     It is local midday and the Moon is on the meridian? b)     It is 6pm locally and the Moon is on the meridian?
Please explain all answers! Thank you!   The figure below shows the relative position of the Earth (the circle in the middle) and the Moon (the small circle on the orbital path around the Earth (the arrows on orbital path circle show the moving direction of the moon). On this figure, an unknown phase of the moon is currently at its highest position in the sky. Given that, this particular phase of the Moon rises from the horizon around 3am. Please answer the following questions related to this figure. C1. Please draw a small circle on the orbital path to indicate the position of the moon phase that may result in a lunar eclipse. Write down “lunar eclipse” next to this small circle. Please explain your draw. C2. When the Moon is at this position on the orbital path (shown in Question C1), will it always cause a lunar eclipse? Please explain your answer. C3. Please draw a small circle on the orbital path to show the approximate moon’s position when a sidereal month is completed (with…
If the moon is 238,000 miles from earth, convert this distance to meters and leave your answer in scientific notation. ( Recall 5280 ft = 1 mi , 1 m = 3.3 ft) b) In a school zone, the speed limit is 25 miles/hour. Convert this speed to meters/second (m/s). Round your answer to the nearest tenth.
