Why do we see phases of the Moon?
• Lunar phases are a consequence of the Moon�s 27.3-day orbit around Earth.

Phases of the Moon• Half of the Moon
is illuminated by the Sun and half is dark.
• We see a changing combination of the bright and dark faces as the Moon orbits Earth.

We see only one side of the Moon.
Synchronous rotation: The Moon rotates exactly once with each orbit.
This is why only one side is visible from Earth.

What causes eclipses?• The Earth and Moon cast shadows.• When either passes through the other�s shadow, we
have an eclipse.

When can eclipses occur?• Lunar eclipses can
occur only at full moon.
• Lunar eclipses can be penumbral, partial, or total.

When can eclipses occur?• Solar eclipses can
occur only at new moon.
• Solar eclipses can be partial, total, orannular.

Why don�t we have an eclipse at every new and full moon?—The Moon�s orbit is tilted 5� to the ecliptic plane.—So we have about two eclipse seasons each year, with a lunar
eclipse at new moon and solar eclipse at full moon.

Summary: Two conditions must be met to have an eclipse
1. It must be a full moon (for a lunar eclipse) or a new moon (for a solar eclipse).
AND2. The Moon must be at or near one of the two
points in its orbit where it crosses the ecliptic plane (its nodes).

Predicting Eclipses• Eclipses recur with the 18-year, 11 1/3-day
saros cycle, but type (e.g., partial, total) and location may vary.

What have we learned?• Why do we see phases of the Moon?—Half the Moon is lit by the Sun, half is in
shadow, and its appearance to us is determined by the relative positions of the Sun, Moon, and Earth.
• What causes eclipses?—Lunar eclipse: Earth�s shadow on the Moon—Solar eclipse: Moon�s shadow on Earth—Tilt of Moon�s orbit means eclipses occur
during two periods each year.

2.4 The Ancient Mystery of the Planets
• Why was planetary motion so hard to explain?• Why did the ancient Greeks reject the real
explanation for planetary motion?

Planets Known in Ancient Times• Mercury (bottom) —Difficult to see; always
close to Sun in sky• Venus (above Mercury) —Very bright when
visible; morning or evening �star�
• Mars (middle) —Noticeably red
• Jupiter (top) —Very bright
• Saturn (above Mars) —Moderately bright

Why was planetary motion so hard to explain?
• Planets usually move slightly eastward from night to night relative to the stars.
• But sometimes they go westwardrelative to the stars for a few weeks: apparent retrograde motion.

We see apparent retrograde motion when we pass by a planet in its orbit.

Explaining Apparent Retrograde Motion
• Easy for us to explain: this occurs when we �lap� another planet (or when Mercury or Venus laps us).
• But it is very difficult to explain if you think that Earth is the center of the universe!
• In fact, ancients considered but rejected the correct explanation.
![Page 41: Discovering the Universe for Yourself - University of Delawareowocki/phys133/Lec05.pdf · Discovering the Universe for Yourself. By next class time •Read Ch. 3 & DOOnline Exercise](https://reader030.fdocuments.net/reader030/viewer/2022040613/5f0855217e708231d4217cbb/html5/thumbnails/41.jpg)
Why did the ancient Greeks reject the real explanation for planetary motion?
• Their inability to observe stellar parallaxwas a major factor.
![Page 42: Discovering the Universe for Yourself - University of Delawareowocki/phys133/Lec05.pdf · Discovering the Universe for Yourself. By next class time •Read Ch. 3 & DOOnline Exercise](https://reader030.fdocuments.net/reader030/viewer/2022040613/5f0855217e708231d4217cbb/html5/thumbnails/42.jpg)
The Greeks knew that the lack of observable parallax could mean one of two things:
1. Stars are so far away that stellar parallax is too small to notice with the naked eye.
2. Earth does not orbit the Sun; it is the center of the universe.
With rare exceptions, such as Aristarchus, the Greeks rejected the correct explanation (1) because they
did not think the stars could be that far away.Thus the stage was set for the long, historical showdown
between Earth-centered and Sun-centered systems.

What have we learned?• Why was planetary motion so hard to explain?—Like the Sun and Moon, planets usually drift
eastward relative to the stars from night to night; but sometimes, for a few weeks or few months, a planet turns westward in its apparent retrograde motion.
• Why did the ancient Greeks reject the real explanation for planetary motion?—Most Greeks concluded that Earth must be
stationary, because they thought the stars could not be so far away as to make parallax undetectable.
