Tonight you see a waning crescent in the night sky. A few (n) days later, the night is once again clear and you see a waning crescent. How many degrees did the Moon advance in its orbit during this time frame?
The timing of Moonrise is later every day. Let’s understand why: a) Moonrise occurs when you, as you sit on the rotating Earth, turn to the point where you can just see the Moon appear over the horizon. Draw a picture to illustrate what this would look like. Draw the Earth, Moon, and you standing on the Earth to indicate this scenario. (You’ve seen my artistic skills in class, I’m not asking you to do anything better than that. Just label/make clear what is shown). Take this as Day 1.In 24 hours, you would return back to that exact point on the Earth. However, the Moon will also have moved forward in its orbit (it orbits the Earth in the same direction that the Earth is spinning). How far along in its orbit does the Moon move? That is, assume the Moon is orbiting in a circular orbit; in going from Day 1 to Day 2,               how many degrees does thee Moon move forward? Indicate (very roughly) via a drawing.b) Because the Moon advanced in its orbit, you now must wait…
After watching the moon for several nights on a camping trip, you notice that you cannot see it despite it being a clear night. What lunar phase is it and how are the sun, moon, and Earth positioned? * 2 po O a first quarter moon, where the moon, Earth, and the sun form a perpendicular angle O a full moon, where Earth is directly between the moon and the sun a new moon, where the moon is directly between Earth and the sun O a third quarter moon, where the sun, Earth, and the moon form a perpendicular angle Which month marks the start of winter in the southern hemisphere? 2 po
