Phases Of The Moon
Phases Of The Moon
The
Moon
is the brightest
natural satellite
easily identifiable in the night sky. If the Moon is observed carefully, the shape of the Moon differs on different nights. The Moon
does not emit light,
but
reflects the light of the Sun
to reach our eyes. Like the Earth, the Moon
rotates on its axis
and at the same time
revolves according to its orbit around the Earth
. The moon rotates on its axis in 27 1/3 days from West to East, orbiting the Earth also in 27 1/3 days from West to East.
9.1
Phases Of The Moon
The duration of the revolution and rotation of the Moon are the same,
causing us to always see the same surface of the Moon.
As the Moon orbits the Earth, we will see different parts of the Moon illuminated by the light of the Sun.
The Moon's orbiting around the Earth
causes the
visible shapes of the Moon to change.
The different shapes of the Moon are known as the
Phases of the Moon.
Phases of the Moon.
New Moon - the dark part of the Moon faces the Earth
Crescent - A small part of the moon's surface is sunlit and faces the Earth
Half-moon - Half part of the moon's surface is sunlit and faces the Earth
Gibbous - Most of the moon's surface is sunlit and faces the Earth
Full moon - The entire surface of the moon illuminated by the light of the Sun faces the Earth
Gibbous - Most of the moon's surface is sunlit and faces the Earth
Half-moon - Half part of the moon's surface is sunlit and faces the Earth
Crescent - A small part of the moon's surface is sunlit and faces the Earth
Lunar calendar
The calendar we use is the
AD Calendar
which shows the position of the
Earth during its orbit around the Sun.
The calendar constructed based on the
phases of the Moon
is known as the
Lunar Calendar.
This calendar is the
Islamic Lunar calendar
known as
Hijri Calendar.
