I learned a lot about the moon, like waning and waxing and the phases of the moon from new moon to a new moon. I know what you are thinking it’s the same thing, but the moon cycle does not have a start or end. I just started at the new moon and I ended at the new moon so I could see the whole cycle. Fun fact when it’s the stage of a full moon we are only seeing half the moon! The moon rotates around the earth and sun the white part of the moon always faces the sun, but we don’t always see the white part. The moon rotates but what causes the phases? The faces are caused by the dark part of the moon and white part we don’t always see the white if we did it would be a full moon if we saw the dark part of the moon it would be a new moon. When half the moon is facing us it’s a quarter, when a sliver of the moon that is facing us is white we would see a crescent, when a sliver of the moon that is facing us is dark it would be a gibbous. The reasons we have faces of the moon is because the moon rotates if the moon did not rotate it would depend on where you are you would see the same moon every night. Ms. Kiely came in we watched mystery since videos about the moon. The faces are New Moon, Waxing Crescent, First Quarter, Waxing Gibbous, Full Moon, Waning Gibbous, Last Quarter, Waning Crescent, New Moon and all over and over again. The moon is always there we just can’t always see it . Have you ever heard of the man on the moon? Fun fact it’s not actually a man on the moon! People say the moon looks like a mans face. It looks like a mans face because meters that hit the moon over time.
