Moon Phases

2. an object in motion stays in motion, and an object at rest stays at rest unless acted upon by an outside force
6. often called a half moon, the right side is lit up from our perspective on Earth
9. when the side of the moon we see is completely lit
10. the celestial object the Earth orbits
11. when the moon is more than half full
12. when the water level in the ocean changes due to the gravity from the moon and the sun
13. when the moon "appears" to be getting bigger and the light is on the right
14. happening on Thursday, March 13th from 8:26pm - 9:31pm, the Earth will cast a shadow on the moon
16. the light is on the left, and the moon "appears" to be getting smaller
18. this object has the largest affect on our ocean's tides
20. when the moon is less than half full

1. when the left half of the moon is lit up from our perspective
3. it takes the Earth 24 hours to do this
4. it takes the moon about a month to do this
5. when the sun-earth-moon form a straight line, these tides have the largest tidal range
7. when the moon blocks the light from the sun and casts a shadow on a small portion of Earth
8. the more of this an object has, the stronger its gravitational pull
15. when we cannot see the moon because the side that is lit is facing away from us
17. the force that pulls all things towards the center of an object
19. when the sun-earth-moon form a right angle, these tides have the smallest tidal range
