The document discusses various terms related to the moon including its phases, features, effect on tides, and history of exploration. It defines waxing as when the moon appears to grow in size, waning as when it decreases in size, and gibbous as between a half circle and full circle of illumination. It notes the moon's seas are dark patches formed by ancient lava flows and that phases refer to how much is illuminated each day. A harvest moon is a full moon near the autumn equinox that rises earlier each night. The first men on the moon were Neil Armstrong and Buzz Aldrin in 1969.

The document summarizes key concepts about the solar system, including:
- The solar system is made up of the sun and eight planets that orbit around it, along with moons, asteroids, and comets.
- The earth spins on its axis, causing day and night, and its tilt and orbit around the sun cause the seasons in the northern and southern hemispheres.
- Nuclear fusion in the sun's core converts hydrogen to helium, releasing enormous amounts of energy that allow it to shine.THE MOON

The Moon is Earth's natural satellite and orbits our planet in synchronous rotation. It formed over 4 billion years ago when a Mars-sized object collided with Earth, ejecting debris that coalesced into the Moon. The leading theory is the giant impact hypothesis. The Moon has no atmosphere and its landscape and composition differ from Earth's due to the lack of weathering and tectonic activity. Its gravitational pull causes Earth's ocean tides to rise and fall in regular cycles.The Moon

The Moon is Earth's only natural satellite. It has no atmosphere and its surface is marked by craters and dust. The same side always faces Earth. The Moon's diameter is about one quarter that of Earth and it has lower gravity and density than Earth. Temperatures vary greatly from 130属C during the day to -110属C at night. Large flat plains called maria cover parts of the near side, formed by ancient lava flows. Craters and long valleys called rilles are also features of its surface. The Moon orbits Earth about every 27 days in a cycle linked to eclipses.Moon

The document provides information about the Moon. It discusses the Moon's age, distance from Earth, diameter, rotation period, and average speed around Earth. Some key facts are that the Moon is about 4.6 billion years old, its diameter is about 3,476 kilometers, and it orbits Earth once every 27.3 days. The Moon reflects light from the Sun, which is what makes it visible from Earth and causes its appearance to change throughout the month.The Sun powerpoint

The Sun is made up of hot plasma and provides heat and light to our solar system. It is over 1000 times more massive than all the planets combined. The Sun has an interior of a core, radiation zone and convection zone where nuclear fusion occurs. It also has an atmosphere of a photosphere, chromosphere and corona. The different layers have varying temperatures, from over 15 million Kelvin in the core to around 6,000 Kelvin in the photosphere. The Sun also produces solar wind, prominences and flares.Solar System

The large impact hypothesis is currently favored as explaining how the moon was formed. It proposes that a massive object collided with the early Earth, sending debris into orbit that eventually coalesced into the moon. After its formation, the moon was bombarded with asteroids and its low areas filled with lava, which cooled to form dark maria. The moon is littered with impact craters and has a geology defined by lighter colored highlands and darker lowlands and maria. While no life exists on the moon currently or historically, small amounts of water ice have been discovered frozen at its poles.The Solar System for Grades 3-8

The moon orbits the Earth every 27 days on average at a distance of 384,400km. It was likely formed from debris ejected from Earth after a collision with a Mars-sized object. The different phases of the moon are caused by the illumination of its surface from the Sun as it orbits Earth.

Stars are giant balls of gas that produce light and heat through nuclear fusion at their cores. They vary greatly in size, from dwarf stars like our Sun to massive supergiant stars over 200 times the Sun's diameter. Stars end their lives in different ways depending on their mass - smaller stars become white dwarfs, while larger stars explode as supernovae or collapse into neutron stars and other compact objects.Sun, Moon, and Earth system

The inner planets Mercury, Venus, Earth, and Mars are similar to each other. They are the closest planets to the sun and are called terrestrial planets because they are rocky or earth-like. Mercury is the smallest planet and closest to the sun, with extreme temperature variations between its day and night sides. Venus is about the same size as Earth but has a dense carbon dioxide atmosphere that causes a runaway greenhouse effect and surface temperatures over 800 degrees Fahrenheit. Mars is about half the size of Earth, has a reddish appearance, seasonal polar ice caps, evidence of past water, and the lowest average temperature of the four inner planets.Astronomy by jatin

The Moon is the closest celestial body to Earth. It orbits Earth every 29.5 days while rotating once on its axis, so the same side always faces Earth. The amount of the Moon illuminated depends on its position relative to Earth and the Sun, causing the phases of the Moon like waxing, waning, full, and new. Lunar eclipses occur when Earth is between the Sun and Moon, blocking sunlight to the Moon. Solar eclipses happen when the Moon is between Earth and the Sun. The Moon and Sun exert gravitational forces that cause Earth's ocean tides, with spring tides being the largest and neap tides the smallest.More Related Content

A new moon occurs when the moon is between the Earth and sun so its night side faces Earth. A full moon happens when the moon is on the opposite side of Earth from the sun, so its full day side faces Earth. Eclipses occur when the sun, Earth, and moon align so that one passes in front of the other, casting a shadow.

The large impact hypothesis is currently the favored explanation for how the Moon was formed. It proposes that a Mars-sized object collided with the early Earth, sending debris into orbit that eventually coalesced to form the Moon. When first formed 4.5 billion years ago, the Moon's surface was molten and covered in lava oceans that cooled to form large dark basins called maria. The lighter colored highlands are made of the rock anorthosite and were bombarded by meteorites, creating many impact craters visible today. While no life exists now on the airless, water-poor Moon, recent discoveries have found frozen water trapped at its poles.Moon Gn

Our solar system formed from a mass of stellar dust that concentrated into a hot ball (the Sun) and smaller balls that became the planets. There are nine planets that orbit the Sun - four inner planets made of rock (Mercury, Venus, Earth, Mars) and five outer planets made of gases (Jupiter, Saturn, Uranus, Neptune). The Earth is unique in supporting life and is mostly covered in water. It rotates, causing day and night, and revolves around the Sun, causing the seasons. The Moon orbits the Earth and reflects sunlight, appearing bright at night. Landscapes on Earth include mountains, valleys, islands, deserts and more.Recently uploaded (20)
