A lunar eclipse occurs when the Moon travels into Earth's shadow
During the new moon phase, the Moon cannot be seen because it is in Earth's shadow
We only ever see one side of the Moon because it does not rotate
Between new moon and half moon the Moon is visible mostly during the day
On the same night, different phases of the moon can be seen from different parts of the world
The Moon's gravitational pull causes the tides on Earth
True or False?

Earth’s axis is at an angle of 23.4%
Common Misconception: Earth-Sun distance variesBut…why then, is it summer in the Southern Hemisphere when it is winter in the Northern Hemisphere?

Because of the tilt of Earth's axis, Wales is closer to the Sun in summer than in winter
The sun rises exactly in the East and sets exactly in the West each day
The amount of daylight increases each day throughout the summer
True or False?Summer occurs when the Earth is closer to the Sun
During winter the sun is lower on the horizonCountries along the equator experience much smaller variations in temperature than countries closer to the poles
