WHAT ARE THE NAMES OF THE DIFFERENT MOONS!

• By:lane Newman
• The moon reflects the suns light because it does have it's own light
• It takes the moon 29.3 days to make it all the way around the earth
• It depends where the moon is for it's shape
• There are different names for the moons

NEW MOON

• It is the moon sitting in front of the sun.
• It happens during the middle of the day most of the time.

WAXING CRESCENT

• It looks like a smiley face
• It is really bright sometimes

FIRST QUARTER

• It is half of a circle
• You can't see the other side of it because the sun is not shinning on that side of the moon so it is pitch black
• And it gets smaller as the sun begins to show and smaller and smaller

WAXING GIBBOUS

• It is in the shape of a toe nail
• Very little is shown and it is bright

FULL MOON

• It is bright in the night sky
• It is fully lighted and big
• The sun is fully shinning on it so it is big and bright
• It is a full circle and as it goes down it spins around the earth

WANING GIBBOUS

• It is just like a waxing gibbous but it is the different side of the waxing gibbous
• And it gets smaller as the sky becomes brighter and brighter
