partners for about 4.5 billion

years .Although the moon is much

smaller than earth yet it influences our planet in many ways and has fascinated

humans for thousands of years

Night is full with my essenceEternal light betrays my presenceSoaring through my endless taskShadows are my faithful mask

Can’t Guess ..??The Answer is ..

Darkness

Moon’s Surface• No Atmosphere• No Liquid Water

• Extreme Temperature• 1/6 of Earth’s Gravity

The moon has a crust of brittle rock about 30 miles (50 km) thick that is riddled with

cracks. Beneath the crust is a deep mantle that is thought to be rich in minerals similar

to those found in the earth’s rock. The mantle may extend all the way to the centre,

or the moon may have a small core.

Tidal attraction

There are 2 types of tidal attraction :-

A.Lunar tides

Tides are

created by the moon’s gravity

pulling on Earth’s water . At any one

time ,there is a place on earth that is nearest to the a noe farthest away.

Here the seas “bulge” out,

creating high tides. The bulges move

around the Earth as it rotates

B. Solar tidesThe sun also has a

weak effect on tide.

Spring tides

It occurs when solar and lunar tides join forces to create an extremely strong gravitational pull

Neap tideDuring a neap tide the high tide is slightly lower than usual and low tide is slightly higher than usual.

Moon’s spin around earth

The moon take 27.3 days to orbit earth once, but also

27.3 days to spin once on its axis . As a result it keeps the same side facing earth- the

“near side“ even so, variations in the moons orbit allow parts of its far side to

come into view now and then. Tidal forces between

the earth and moon are causing the moon to move slowly away from earth by

3.8 cm every year

Group 5I have days and months, have moon and tides. I have twelve but can be

counted more than three hundred .For now, I'm more

than two thousand but every year I am counted as

one. What am I?

PHASES OF MOON

The phases of moon For centuries, people have been fascinated by the way the moon goes through a cycle of phases that repeat

every 29.5 days .These phases occur because we see different amount of the moon’s

sunlit side as the moon orbits earth.

Lunar EclipseMoon moves into earth’s

shadow – this shadow darken the moon

About 2-3 times per year

Lasts for up to 4 hours

LUNAR ECLIPSE

SOLAR ECLIPSE

Moon moves between Earth and sun

Moon casts a shadow on part of the Earth

Total eclipse are rare – only once every 360 years from one location

Group 6 WHAT'S ROUND, BUT NOT ALWAYS AROUND.

Many cultures around the world have interesting myths about the moon , reflecting its prominence in the night sky and its impact on our lives .

See below for interesting glimpses into the beliefs of

early civilization.

Mythology of Moon

The Full Moon in January is called the Wolf Moon. It is named after the hungry packs of wolves that howled at night. The Algonquian tribes of Native Americans had many different names for the Full Moon through the year, reflecting their connection with nature and the seasons, hunting, fishing, and farming.

Ix Chel, the "Lady Rainbow," was the old Moon goddess in Maya mythology. Ix Chel was

depicted as an old woman wearing a skirt with crossed bones, and she had a serpent in her

hand. She also had a kinder side and was worshiped as the protector of weavers and

women in childbirth..

• In ancient times, Chinese people believed that there were twelve Moons as there were twelve months in one year. It was believed that the Moons were made of water. The name "mother of moons" is associated with that of Heng-o. This image shows the detail of an eighteen-century embroidered emperor's robe including a white hare, which was believed to have lived in the moon.
