28.1 Electromagnetic spectrum
The arrangement of waves that includes gamma rays, X rays, ultraviolet radiation, visible light, infrared radiation, microwaves, and radio waves according to wavelength and frequency is called the electromagnetic spectrum.

28.1 Refracting Telescopes
The telescope that uses lenses to bring visible light to a focus is a refracting telescope.

28.1 Satellites
Telescopes are placed above the atmosphere in order to most effectively collect infrared and ultraviolet radiation, X-rays, and gamma rays.

Moon’s Features
The Moon’s surface is very different from the surface of Earth because the Moon has no erosion.

theory
The theory that suggests the Moon was formed at about the same time as Earth and from similar materials is called the simultaneous formation theory.

Earth’s Rotation
The daily rising and setting of heavenly objects like the Sun is caused by the rotation of Earth.
![Page 26: Chapter 28 – Sun-Earth-Moon System](https://reader031.vdocuments.mx/reader031/viewer/2022020801/56813769550346895d9efe66/html5/thumbnails/26.jpg)

Earth’s Tilt
Different seasons occur because of Earth’s tilt and Earth’s orbital motion around the Sun.
![Page 30: Chapter 28 – Sun-Earth-Moon System](https://reader031.vdocuments.mx/reader031/viewer/2022020801/56813769550346895d9efe66/html5/thumbnails/30.jpg)

Lunar Phases
The sequential changes in the appearance of the Moon are called lunar phases.

Waxing
When the Moon waxes during its lunar cycle, the amount of its sunlight portion that we see appears to increase in size.

Lunar Eclipse
A lunar eclipse occurs when the Moon passes through Earth's shadow.
Can only occur during the phase of the full moon.
![Page 38: Chapter 28 – Sun-Earth-Moon System](https://reader031.vdocuments.mx/reader031/viewer/2022020801/56813769550346895d9efe66/html5/thumbnails/38.jpg)
Solar Eclipse
Occurs when the Moon passes directly between the Sun and Earth (Solar eclipses can only occur at time of New Moon)
![Page 39: Chapter 28 – Sun-Earth-Moon System](https://reader031.vdocuments.mx/reader031/viewer/2022020801/56813769550346895d9efe66/html5/thumbnails/39.jpg)
Partial Eclipse
People who see a partial solar eclipse are located in the penumbra portion of the Moon's shadow.
![Page 40: Chapter 28 – Sun-Earth-Moon System](https://reader031.vdocuments.mx/reader031/viewer/2022020801/56813769550346895d9efe66/html5/thumbnails/40.jpg)
Eclipses - Why not every month?
The orbit of the Moon is tilted 5° relative to the ecliptic plane of the Earth-Sun. ie. Most months its shadow passes north or south of the Earth.
![Page 41: Chapter 28 – Sun-Earth-Moon System](https://reader031.vdocuments.mx/reader031/viewer/2022020801/56813769550346895d9efe66/html5/thumbnails/41.jpg)
Coming Eclipses (2001-2005)
A lunar eclipse occurs when the Earth passes directly between the Sun and the Moon and blocks some or all of the light of the Full Moon.
(Lunar eclipes can only occur at time of Full Moon)
