A solar eclipse happens during a _______ moon

A _________ eclipse occurs during a full moon

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
