Across
- 4. a phase of the moon where the light (white part) is on the left and it is taking up 3/4 of the moon’s surface.
- 6. a state at which the ocean water is at its lowest level.
- 7. During these phases the light is found on the left side of the moon as light is decreasing in size as it moves throughout the different phase.
- 10. in the opposite direction to the way in which the hands of a clock move around.
- 12. a phase of the moon where the light (white part) is on the right and it is taking up 1/4 of the moon’s surface.
- 13. a state at which the ocean water is at its highest level.
- 14. the equinox in spring, on about March 20 in the northern hemisphere and September 22 in the southern hemisphere.
- 17. an eclipse in which the moon appears darkened as it passes into the earth's shadow. Takes place during a full moon.
- 21. The third phase of the moon cycle as the light is found on the right. The moon’s surface is 50% covered with light.
- 22. a tide just after the first or third quarters of the moon when there is the least difference between high and low water.
Down
- 1. During these phases the light is found on the right side of the moon as the light will look like it is growing in size on the moon’s surface. Waxing=Right=Light growing Bright.
- 2. the solstice that marks the onset of winter, at the time of the shortest day, about December 22 in the northern hemisphere and June 21 in the southern hemisphere.
- 3. the fifth phase of the moon cycle. The moon’s surface is completely covered with light.
- 4. a phase of the moon where the light (white part) is on the right and it takes up 3/4 of the moon’s surface.
- 5. move or cause to move in a circle around an axis or center.
- 8. the solstice that marks the onset of summer, at the time of the longest day, about June 21 in the northern hemisphere and December 22 in the southern hemisphere.
- 9. the straight line through all fixed points of a rotating rigid body around which all other points of the body move in circles.
- 11. a phase of the moon where the light (white part) is on the left and it is taking up 1/4 of the moon’s surface.
- 15. The sixth phase of the moon cycle as the light is found on the left. 50% of the moon is covered with light.
- 16. the first phase in the moon cycle. The moon does not reflect light during this phase.
- 18. the equinox in autumn, on about September 22 in the northern hemisphere and March 20 in the southern hemisphere.
- 19. a tide just after a new or full moon, when there is the greatest difference between high and low water.
- 20. move in a circle on a central axis:
- 23. a straight central part in a structure to which other parts are connected.
