A solar eclipse happens during a _______ moon
$400
Lunar
A _________ eclipse occurs during a full moon
$600
total Solar
If you are in the moon’s umbral shadow you will
experience a ______ _______ eclipse
$800
Total solar eclipse
Which eclipse occurs at a new moon on the ecliptic near
perigee?
$1000The moon’s orbit is not a perfect circle. When the
Moon is closer to Earth it is big enough to cover the sun completely if it is too far away it appears smaller
so a ring of sunlight is around it.
Why are some solar eclipses total and others annular?
$200
7 PM
What time will the moon rise tomorrow if it rises tonight at
6 pm?
$400
the Earth is also revolving around the sun so the moon catches up
Why is there a two day difference between sidereal and synodic months?
$600
equals
The moon’s rotational period___________ its
orbital period?
$800Full. it is rising opposite the sun.
What phase will the moon be if it is rising at sunset? Why?
$1000
The first quarter moon rises about noon today, what phase and time will it rise tomorrow?
waxing gibbous,1 pm
$200
Full
When the moon is opposite the sun, the phase is?
$400
Waning gibbous
Driving eastward before sunrise you notice the moon in front of you, what phase is
it?
$600
The gravitational force of the Earth on the moon has slowed the
moon’s rotation so that it rotates once during each revolution so that the one face always faces toward
the Earth
What is meant by tidal locking?
$800
What are two reasons for winter versus Summer in the
Northern hemisphere?
The sun is higher in the noon sky and we get extra hours of sunlight.
$1000
Mostly on the Earth side where the crust is thinner.
Where on the moon are the lunar mare mostly found?
Why?
$200
Lunar highlands , cratering tells us it is older.
Which is older the lunar highlands or the maria? How do we tell?
$400
lunar highlands
Due to cratering we can tell that this area of the moon is 4.6 to
4.4 billion years old?
$600
The moon lacks wind, water and atmosphere
Why is there less erosion on the moon than earth?
$800
how does crater counting allow us to estimate ages of surfaces in the Solar System?
The longer a surface has not had internal deformation like lava flows, the more craters that will form on its surface.
$1000
What are the primary sources of erosion on the Moon today?
Meteroite and micrometerioite bombardment forming a thick layer of dust
