Moon Phases
The Moon looks different each night because we see different amounts of its sunlit surface from Earth. 🌒
簡要介紹
Just like Earth, the Moon is always half-lit by the Sun, but we only see the portion that faces us. As the Moon orbits around Earth over about 29.5 days, we see different amounts of this lit portion, creating what we call moon phases. It's similar to walking around a ball that's lit by a spotlight - you'll see different amounts of the lit side depending on where you stand. 🌍 🌓
主要說明
The Basic Cycle
The Moon's cycle starts with the New Moon (completely dark), grows to First Quarter (half lit), becomes Full Moon (completely lit), then shrinks to Last Quarter (half lit) before returning to New Moon. It's like watching a cookie being revealed and then hidden again bit by bit! 🌑→🌓→🌕→🌗→🌑
Waxing and Waning
When we see more of the lit portion each night, it's called waxing (growing). When we see less, it's called waning (shrinking). Think of it like filling up and emptying a glass of water - waxing is filling up, waning is emptying out. 🌒 🌘
Position Matters
The phase we see depends on the Moon's position relative to Earth and Sun. It's like taking selfies while turning around with a light source - your face will be lit differently depending on where you're facing! 📱
範例
- Hold a white ball in sunlight and walk around it - you'll see the same phases the Moon goes through as your viewing angle changes.
- Watch your shadow throughout the day - it changes shape and size just like the Moon's appearance changes throughout the month.
- Look at an Oreo cookie - the white cream represents the lit side of the Moon, and by eating different amounts, you can demonstrate different Moon phases! 🍪
