Moon Phases Worksheet

Theodore Said:

the moon? when does it come up?

We Answered:

"Moonrise from Earth:
The moon rises and sets every day, appearing on the horizon just like the sun. The time depends on the phase of the moon. It rises about 30 to 70 minutes later each day than the previous day, so the moon is out during daytime as often is it's out at night. At the time of the new moon, the moon rises at about the same time the sun rises, and it sets at about the same time the sun sets. As the days go by (as it waxes to become a crescent moon, a half moon, and a gibbous moon, on the way to a full moon), the moon rises during daytime (after the sun rises), rising later each day, and it sets at nighttime, setting later and later each night. At the full moon, the times of moonrise and moonset have advanced so that the moon rises about the same time the sun sets, and the moon sets at about the same time the sun rises. As the moon wanes (becoming a half moon and a crescent moon, on the way to a new moon), the moon rises during the night, after sunset, rising later each night. It then sets in the daytime, after the sun rises. Eventually, the moon rises so late at night that it's actually rising around sunrise, and it's setting around sunset. That's when it's a new moon once again."

"Moon rise times
The New Moon always rises at sunrise.
The first quarter Moon rises at noon.
The Full Moon rises at sunset.
The last quarter Moon rises at midnight.
Moonrise takes place about 50 minutes later each day than the day before."

Help me with This Astronomy question please if you Dont mind!!!?

We Answered:

1) First crescent (just watch the evening sky on occasion and you would see it).
2) Last crescent (again, a little observation goes a long way).
3) The moon moves in its orbit, so seeing the crescent moon in the morning means it is rising just before the sun - at "new moon", the moon is between us and the sun (the moon rises at the same time as the sun) and isn't visible to us. A few days later the moon rises just a little after the sun, so when the sun sets and the sky darkens the tiny bit of the sunlit side of the moon is visible.
