The moon is a natural satelliteA satellite is a natural or artificial body that revolves around a celestial objectSputnik, was launched by the Soviet Union the month I was born!
It was the first artificial satellite

Apollo program
1969-19726 spacecraft to the moon

July 20, 1969 Neil Armstrong set foot on the moon.
Do you know what he said?That’s one small step for man, one giant leap for mankind.

Moon gravity
The moon has much less mass so has much less gravityA person weighs 1/6th the amount he weighs on Earth
![Page 6: Chapter 28 Chapter 28 Minor Bodies of the Solar System The Moon.](https://reader036.fdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022062308/56649e845503460f94b85825/html5/thumbnails/6.jpg)
Lunar surfaceLunar comes from the Latin word luna moonLight and dark patches visible
Light—anorthositesDark—maria—seas of solidified lava formed from massive meteoroid bombardment
![Page 7: Chapter 28 Chapter 28 Minor Bodies of the Solar System The Moon.](https://reader036.fdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022062308/56649e845503460f94b85825/html5/thumbnails/7.jpg)
Regolith
The surface of the moon is covered with a fine dust called regolith2 causes:
Meteor bombardmentThermal shock—expansion and contraction caused by lack of an atmosphere
![Page 8: Chapter 28 Chapter 28 Minor Bodies of the Solar System The Moon.](https://reader036.fdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022062308/56649e845503460f94b85825/html5/thumbnails/8.jpg)
One side of the moon always faces Earth
The pull of the Earth’s gravity during formation caused the crust on the far side to become thicker
Near side lunar crust is 60km thickFar side up to 100 km thick
![Page 9: Chapter 28 Chapter 28 Minor Bodies of the Solar System The Moon.](https://reader036.fdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022062308/56649e845503460f94b85825/html5/thumbnails/9.jpg)
One Side of the MoonWe always see the same side because the Moon’s rotational rate matches the rate at which it revolves around the Earth.Rotates (and revolves) once every 27.3 days.Gravity lock between the Earth and the Moon
![Page 10: Chapter 28 Chapter 28 Minor Bodies of the Solar System The Moon.](https://reader036.fdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022062308/56649e845503460f94b85825/html5/thumbnails/10.jpg)
So why is a lunar cycle 29.5 days?
While the moon is revolving around the Earth, Earth and the Moon are also revolving around the sunIt takes time to catch up to Earth’s movement
![Page 11: Chapter 28 Chapter 28 Minor Bodies of the Solar System The Moon.](https://reader036.fdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022062308/56649e845503460f94b85825/html5/thumbnails/11.jpg)
BarycenterThe Earth and the moon actually revolve around each other.Their common center of mass is called the barycenterIt is located within the Earth

Layered
Crust MantleMaybe a small iron core (layered)No magnetic field

Tides Because of the pull from the moon’s gravity on Earth's water, the water forms a bulge on the moon-ward side. This is high tide.
![Page 15: Chapter 28 Chapter 28 Minor Bodies of the Solar System The Moon.](https://reader036.fdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022062308/56649e845503460f94b85825/html5/thumbnails/15.jpg)
The position of the moon determines the type of tide

Formation of the MoonFormerly several main hypotheses
Now . . .
The Giant Impact HypothesisA Mars-sized body hit the Earth while it was still quite hotThe collision ejected chucks of mantle into orbit around EarthThis came together to form the moon

Other Theories of the Moon’s formation
Simultaneous creationFissionCaptureCollision

Simultaneous creation
Formed at the same time from same stuffProblem: Earth has 3 X's more iron
![Page 19: Chapter 28 Chapter 28 Minor Bodies of the Solar System The Moon.](https://reader036.fdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022062308/56649e845503460f94b85825/html5/thumbnails/19.jpg)
Fission
George Darwin, son of Charles,
hypothesized that the Moon and Earth were originally one body.As it revolved and rotated it cooled and began to rotate faster A giant bubble of still molten material pulled away and escaped

Capture
Formed elsewhere in the solar system and was caught as it traveled by the Earth
![Page 21: Chapter 28 Chapter 28 Minor Bodies of the Solar System The Moon.](https://reader036.fdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022062308/56649e845503460f94b85825/html5/thumbnails/21.jpg)
CollisionYoung Earth was hit by an asteroid that knocked off a chunk and then the asteroid and chunk were caught in the gravitational field.
![Page 22: Chapter 28 Chapter 28 Minor Bodies of the Solar System The Moon.](https://reader036.fdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022062308/56649e845503460f94b85825/html5/thumbnails/22.jpg)

Misc Factoids
Diameter about the size from San Francisco to New York City1996 discovered ice deposits at the poles

Phases of the Moon
At any given moment rays of sunlight illuminate one half of the Moon's surface. Because the moon rotates and revolves around earth we see phases--changes in shape that occur every month.

occurs when the Sun, moon and Earth are lined upThe new moon is the side we cannot see

EclipsesThe Sun is 400 times larger than the Moon in diameter, it is also 400 times farther away. So, the sun and Moon appear the same size in the sky. This allows us to have eclipses.
![Page 38: Chapter 28 Chapter 28 Minor Bodies of the Solar System The Moon.](https://reader036.fdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022062308/56649e845503460f94b85825/html5/thumbnails/38.jpg)
Moon is between the sun and earth

Solar eclipse
Moon's shadow falls on the Earth
![Page 40: Chapter 28 Chapter 28 Minor Bodies of the Solar System The Moon.](https://reader036.fdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022062308/56649e845503460f94b85825/html5/thumbnails/40.jpg)
Who gets to see them???

The shadow has two parts,
the umbra and penumbraUmbra--darker, inner
shadowPenumbra– lighter, outer shadow

Lunar eclipse
Earth's shadow falls on the moon

Why are eclipses so rare?
5.2 tilt of the moon orbital plane
The Earth and Moon have different orbital planes
