11. THE MOVEMENT OF THE MOON The moon orbits around the Earth. It takes 28 days to circle the Earth once time. The moon looks different as it goes around the Earth. These changes are called the phases of the Moon. These four phases are: a new moon, the first quarter, a full moon and the last quarter. - When the Moon is in the new moon phase you cannot see it in the sky. - In the first quarter the new moon begins to grow and it looks like a “D”. - The Moon continues to grow until it is a full moon. In this phase, we can see a complete round shape. - After this, it decreases in size. It is now in the last quarter phase. In this phase, the moon looks like a “C” 29. Can you write the names of each of the phases of the moon?
30. Answer the questions.
What is the satellite that revolves around the Earth? ………………………………………………………………………………………. • How long does the moon take to orbit the Earth? ……………………………………………………………………………………………. • When is the moon in the new moon phase? ……………………………………………………………………………………………. • When does the moon look like a “D”? ……………………………………………………………………………………………. • When does the moon look like a “C”? …………………………………………………………………………………………….
