Answer:
What patterns can we observe in the sky?
Stars create observable patterns in the form of “dots”, which can be created to make pictures. These are called constellations. The constellations can move in position or location across the sky, but each “piece” in the constellation does not move because stars do not move or change position in relation to other stars.
What are the 12 phases of the moon?
The moon phases in order are new moon, waxing crescent, first quarter, waxing gibbous, full moon, waning gibbous, last quarter, waning crescent.
What pattern does the Moon travel around the Earth?
circular The moon orbits the earth in a nearly circular pattern every 27.3 days. The moon's orbit is tilted approximately 5 degrees off of the path of the plane of the ecliptic (or the path that the sun appears to trace across the sky), and orbits at a distance of almost 240,000 miles from the earth.
What patterns do you notice about the Moon and sun across the sky?
The sun follows the same pattern as the moon; it appears to rise in the east and set in the west. The Sun is Always Shining The sun is always shining, even at night when we cannot see it. The sun follows the same pattern as the moon; it appears to rise in the east and set in the west.
What causes the pattern of the Moon?
One important thing to notice is that exactly one half of the moon is always illuminated by the sun. ... So the basic explanation is that the lunar phases are created by changing angles (relative positions) of the earth, the moon and the sun, as the moon orbits the earth.
Step-by-step explanation:
here are 8 standard phases of the moon, which is demonstrated in this particular diagram very clearly. There’s the new moon, waxing crescent, first quarter, waxing gibbous, full moon, waning gibbous, third quarter, waning crescent, and then back around to the new moon.
The most obvious patterns of the moon are the phases of the moon, which move in a month-long cycle. Because the moon reflects its light from the sun, only the part of the moon that faces the sun is visible. As the moon revolves around the Earth, its shadow covers part of its surface.
The Moon. In the natal chart, the position of the Moon by sign shows how we emote and respond to our environment, as well as our instinctual habits, especially in our homes and in private. By house, the Moon’s position shows which areas of life we feel the most “at home” or comfortable.
Patterns in the natural and human designed world can be observed, used to describe phenomena, and used as evidence. In the previous lesson, we determined two patterns for the moon: 1) The moon changes shapes. 2) The moon appears to rise, move across the sky, and set. In today's lesson, we focus in on the first pattern-- the moon's phases.
