Moon’s Age and Mysteries

The Moon is about 250,000 miles from Earth.

Travelling by car: Travelling by rocket: Travelling by light speed:

130 days 13 hours 1.52 sec

WHY DO WE HAVE TIDES?

The moon causes many of the tides in the Earth's oceans. This is because of the gravity force between the Earth and Moon.

During full and new moons the gravitational forces of the Sun and Moon combine to produce the highest tides called Spring Tides.

During quarter moons the gravitational forces of the Sun and the Moon oppose each other to produce the lowest tides called Neap Tides.

HOW LONG DOES IT TAKE THE MOON

TO CIRCLE THE EARTH???

Did you know it takes the moon 27

days to go all the way around the

earth and return to its starting

position? Well it does and if you

were to look down from the north

pole it would circle the earth counter-

clockwise! The moon orbits the earth

at an average speed of 2,288 mph.

DID YOU KNOW….

The earth’s moon is the fifth largest in

the whole solar system and is bigger

than the planet Pluto! And the

moon’s surface has about the same

area of Africa.

The surface of the moon

has many things on it such as craters, lava plains,

mountains, and valleys. Scientists believe the

craters were formed around 3.5 to 4.5 billion years ago

by meteors hitting the

moon's surface.

WHY DOES THE MOON CHANGE SHAPE? The moon doesn’t really change shape, what you are really seeing is the moon

being lit up by the sun.

The moon rises and sets at specific times,

according to what phase it is in:

The new moon rises and sets at approximately

the same time as the sun.

The first quarter moon rises at mid-morning

and sets at midnight. So it's at its height around

dusk, not in the middle of the night.

The full moon rises at sunset and sets at sunrise.

The full moon is the only moon that will be

overhead in the middle of the night.

The last quarter moon rises at midnight and sets

at mid-morning. So unless you're a late-owl,

you've probably never even seen this moon.
