Moon Phase Diagram and Animation


Here is a great diagram of how Moon phases work. This diagram was copied from Nick Strobel's Astronomy Notes.Go to his site at http://www.astrono%20mynotes.com/for the updated and corrected version.

Want to practice today's new vocabulary and test your knowledge of the Moon's phases as it completes one orbit (29.5 days) around Earth?

Here is an excellent animation of both the view of the moon from Earth and a diagram of the moon's position in relation to the Earth and Sun.

Check it out!
