THE LUNAR CYCLE
A few notes:
the earth does not spin on its axis like
earth does, it rotates around the
earth, so that we only see one side of
it
demonstrate this with the globe and
and an orange (with one side shaded)
The lunar cycle is 29 days long
The moon rotates around the earth
How does the moon give light?
Moon is seen during the day and the night
depending on the time of the cycle
At different days of the
month the moon looks
different. This is known
as moon phases
