   • Our solar system has over 200 moons orbiting planets; the Earth’s moon is ranked fifth in size. Its radius is 1080 miles, while the largest moon, Ganymede, orbiting Jupiter, has a radius of 1635 miles.
   • Our moon is little more than one-quarter of the size of the Earth. That means that just more than three moons will go into the same space the Earth occupies, nearly a one to four ratio, and the only planet-moon pair with that proportions in our solar system.
   • Did you know that we always see the same side of the moon when looking at it from the Earth? If you want to see the other side of the moon, you must go into space and look at it from a spacecraft.
   • The moon changes shapes at different times during the month. These shapes we call the phases of the moon. You will also notice that the moon’s illumination decreases and increases regularly.

   The Sun and the Earth-Moon System. The solar system is made up of the Sun, the planets that orbit the Sun, their satellites, dwarf planets and many, many small objects, like asteroids and comets. All of these objects move and we can see these movements. We notice the Sun rises in the eastern sky in the morning and sets in the western sky in the ...

   The motions of bodies in the solar system are, for the most part, regular and understandable. From Earth, the Sun rises in the eastern sky in the morning and sets in the western sky in the evening. If the Moon is full on Day 1, it will be full again on Day 28, and new on Day 14. The motions of Earth relative to the Sun, and the motions of the ...

   A solar eclipse occurs when the Moon is perfectly aligned between the Sun and the Earth, creating a shadow on the Earth's surface. The Moon's shadow sweeps across the surface quickly as the Moon orbits the Earth, temporarily blocking our view of the Sun. The Moon is about 400 times smaller than the Sun and through a cosmic coincidence also ...

   New Moon. This is the invisible phase of the Moon, with the illuminated side of the Moon facing the Sun and the night side facing Earth. In this phase, the Moon is in the same part of the sky as the Sun and rises and sets with the Sun. Not only is the illuminated side facing away from the Earth, it’s also up during the day!

   What does the Moon look like at sunset?

   • The Moon appears as a dark disk that slips in front of the Sun, blocking the Sun entirely from view for just a few minutes. The sky darkens as if the Sun is about to set, even though it may be the wrong time of day for sunset. The air feels a bit cooler because sunlight is blocked.

   What does the Moon look like from space?

   • Just like the Earth orbits the Sun, the Moon orbits the Earth. This is what the Earth looks like from space. The green and yellow are the countries, the blue is the sea and the white areas are clouds. This is what the Moon looks like through a telescope. Can you see circle shapes on its surface?

   Why does the Moon appear bright?

   • The Moon appears bright because it reflects light from the Sun. Like the Earth, half of the Moon faces towards the Sun, and half faces away from it. As the Moon orbits the Earth, we see it from different angles. We see different amounts of the lit and dark side, and this is what causes the phases of the Moon:

   What does a full moon look like?

   • A full moon is the lunar phase seen when the whole of the Moon’s lit side is facing Earth. This phase happens when Earth is between the Moon and the Sun. About one week later, the Moon enters the quarter-moon phase. At this point, the Moon appears as a half-circle, since only half of the Moon’s lit surface is visible from Earth.

   Why does the Moon block our view of the Sun?

   • The Moon's shadow sweeps across the surface quickly as the Moon orbits the Earth, temporarily blocking our view of the Sun. The Moon is about 400 times smaller than the Sun and through a cosmic coincidence also about 400 times closer to the Earth.
