Moon Phases Demonstration

[@fishingpinky3165]

I am 63 years old and now finally understand the moon phases. Was sitting outside tonite and saw a crescent moon. Trying to figure out the reason behind it. You explained it so easy. Thank you!

[@anuradhaverma7]

I am here for exact same reason. Yesterday I saw crescent 🌘 moon. And today is new moon, so kinda curious. Bty the 2nd crescent 🌘 moon is so fascinating than the 1st 🌙 moon. Because in 2nd crescent 🌘 moon you can see the darker part clearly.

[@elanchaerani999]

So you can see crescent moon at night? What time is it?

[@gertebert]

Nice! You are never too young to learn! Now try to imagine the motion of the earth around the sun and the way you see the sky at night. It took me years to get my head around that. It still boggles my mind how this works, I could not figure out why and how Polaris (the North star) could stay in the north.

[@DFWJon]

Have any of you noticed that the crescent moon used to be crescent from top to bottom and now it is more side to side??? So, if you didn’t understand what I am saying try this… crescent moon used to be a “(” or “)” now it is more of a ”u” shape and an “n” shape, so instead of it being top to bottom it is now more side to side. Has anyone else noticed this or am I just crazy???

[@BasketballBros]

Meeeee

[@jinks908]

Awesome explanation! But I have a question that perhaps I'm overthinking a bit, but I'm having difficulty making sense of the angles. If you pause at 1:24 (New Moon) and look at the thumbnail view on the bottom left, we can see that she is facing _toward_ the sun, meaning it would be daylight where she is. This means that the dark side of Earth (where it is night) is facing _away_ from the sun _and_ the moon. Now, as the moon slowly goes to waxing crescent, we see from her view the obvious sliver of moon lit up. But again, this is from the _daytime_ side of Earth. If you pause at 1:39 again in the thumbnail image, the back of her head represents night time on Earth. So how would we be able to see the crescent moon if on the night side of Earth we are facing _away_ from both the moon _and_ the sun? Wouldn't we just be looking into dark space?

[@SpottedSharks]

You can see the waxing crescent at night but only for an hour or two as earth rotates it out of your view.

[@kostas9592]

When the moon is in its crescent phase, it's near the sun, and can only be seen for a few hours after sunset (waxing) or before sunrise (waning)

When she places the white ball between her head and the light , she says it is no moon day as there is no light on the moon. And then the crescent moon appears. But this time earth is facing the sun which means day time in the earth. What about the the darker side of the earth which normally witnesses moon ? We only see crescent moon during the night and not during the day time. Something is wrong in this explanation .

[@oscarin13]

It's not wrong, but rather simplistic. - "she says it is no moon day as there is no light on the moon" That's called a New Moon, yes. A little correction there though, the Moon is illuminated during a New Moon but on the far side. The side facing us is not receiving any sunlight. - "And then the crescent moon appears. But this time earth is facing the sun which means day time in the earth." Yes, and? - "What about the the darker side of the earth which normally witnesses moon" Therefore, at this particular phase they don't see the Moon. You can see the Moon during the night when it's still crescent and almost half-full. When it's very recent (when it looks very dim and kind of like a recently cut nail) it will set an hour or so after sunset. - ''We only see crescent moon during the night and not during the day time'' Wrong. We can see the crescent Moon when it's almost half-full during the day, but not when it's very recent.

In your demonstration you told that sun is at one place only which is absolutely correct but the sun seems to be moving to us. If on full moon day the moon is in the east only then sun's light would fall on the moon and for that the sun has to be in the west but according to your explanation the sun is always in the east so I'm unable to understand the position of the sun and the moon.

It's not directly in between the moon and the sun (hint: don't think in 2D, try 3D). She didn't give a good explanation in my opinion. Here's a better one: Moon Phases: Crash Course Astronomy #4 (type it in KZbin). Oh, and don't pay attention to those "earth is flat" comments, obviously they didn't make it to high school.

[@amrelalfy3611]

I agree, I don't know if the earth is flat or not, I am wobbling between both models lol. but I agree with you, if the moon is going to be full moon it will have to be significantly higher than the earth, which doesn't make sense how is gravity working elevating the moon significantly above the earth as the lady is demonstrating. second problem is moon will be never visible in Australia, nor south America if it is that much higher than earth. last note, I know there is not up or down in space, what I mean is rotating above the north pole, so sun light would travel not obstructed by earth so it is very bright and reflect the light back to the dark side of earth.

[@ayaankhan2420]

[@wolfchic636]

Yes, you are correct. However, the Moon's orbit is tilted slightly, which doesn't allow this to happen every month. She doesn't cover this detail in this video. I do a similar activity with my students and then we add this to the discussion and begin talking about eclipses and why don't see them every month. I think for the purpose of the video, it would be difficult to show a new moon without blocking the light because the light would create quite a glare on the camera making it difficult to see what is happening on the Moon. But, I understand your point.

My childhood missed understanding is come to the reality. Best explanation ever!!

[@cr4zyu]

In this demo, Emily hold the moon model above her head throughout her explanation. So, she is demonstrating that the moon must either revolve in some plane but either above or below the obstruction of the earth, otherwise the earth would totally eclipse the moon every revolution. This would mean most everyone on the side of the earth not facing the sun, won't be able to see the moon because of the shadow cast over the moon by the earth. It's like as if there are two 'new moons' for each revolution around the earth instead of one 'new moon'. This demo is not the complete story of what's going on. I'm still in the dark, so, can someone politely explain the anomaly I observed while watching Emily Morgan's otherwise flawed or half explanation please? Someone from the National Science Teachers Association or Emily herself preferably.

[@blakesnipe5347]

She holds the moon above here head because the point is to show what CAUSES the phases of the moon. That point is sufficiently addressed. Your question is outside the scope of this demonstration, but it can be explained. First of all, understand that the scales involved are WAY off in this demonstration. The Earth and moon a lot farther apart and the Earth and sun are a lot farther apart in reality. Because of this, the position of the Earth-moon-sun system needs to be pretty perfect for the moon to cast a shadow on the Earth or the Earth to cast a shadow on the moon. In reality, the moon's orbit around the Earth is inclined by about 5 degrees relative to the plane that the Earth orbits in around the sun, so for the moon to actually cast a shadow on the Earth (solar eclipse - during a new moon) or for the Earth to cast a shadow on the moon (lunar eclipse - during a full moon), the moon would have to be reaching the point where its orbital plane around the Earth crosses the Earth's orbital plane around the sun at the same moment as the new moon or full moon occurs respectively. This actually happens relatively rarely, but it's not THAT rare. - otherwise eclipses would be rare, and we get a few per year - just not every month. Here are some basic things to know about the orbit of the moon : There are two ways we define the moon's orbit around the Earth. The first is the time it takes for the moon to orbit the Earth relative to distant stars. This happens about every 27.3 days, and is called the sidereal month. If the moon is crossing the ascending node of its orbit and the Earth's orbit around the sun - that is at the point where it's orbital plane intersects with the Earth's orbital plane - and the moon is coming "up" through the Earth's orbital plane (ascending), then the next time it will approach that point in its orbit is about 27.3 days. The second way we define the moon's orbit around the sun (the one most people are familiar with) is the synodic month. This is how long it takes to make one revolution around the Earth relative to the Earth and sun system. That is - how often do full moons repeat, new moons repeat, and so on. This is about 29.5 days. The reason they are different is because the Earth orbits the sun. In the moon's sidereal month - that is when its in the same position in its orbit with respect to space (stars), the Earth has actually moved around the sun some - so the moon has a little bit farther to go (and takes about two and a half days to do it) to get into the same relative position. So, now imagine you are watching a solar eclipse. The moon has passed directly in front of the sun at the moment it is crossing the ascending node in orbit. The phase the moon is currently in is the new moon phase. This phases will not happen again for 29.5 days, but the next time the moon will be crossing the ascending node will be 27.3 days, so on the next new moon, the moon will have already crossed and moved above the orbital plane of the Earth and will be 2.5 days "ahead" so to speak. On the next new moon, the moon will have intersected the Earth's orbital plane 5 days prior, and so on. Eventually, they will line up again, and the moon will intersect with the plane of the Earth at the moment of a new moon or full moon, and give us another eclipse. There are only two points in its orbit where the moon will be intersecting with the Earth's orbital plane - once when it intersects it moving upward (ascending node) and another point where it crosses the plane moving downward (descending node). We will only get an eclipse when the moon is at one of these nodes during a new or full moon. Since the frequency of new and full moons does not sync with the frequency with which the moon will cross one of these nodes, the frequency in which they happen at the same time is simply low.

[@chavvysmooth7504]

How come I could see the moon straight over my head in the daytime in california and my friend could see it at the same time in Egypt on the opposite side of globe

[@SpottedSharks]

The moon is very far away and California and Eygpt are not exactly on the opposite side of earth.

[@eenzamevriend7183]

SpottedSharks, they’re in different hemispheres, so if a sphere had sides that would be considered the other side.

[@willoughbykrenzteinburg]

The middle of California is about 120 degrees west of the Prime Meridian. The middle of Egypt is about 30 degrees East of the Prime Meridian - making the two locations separated by 150 degrees. It is not possible that you can see the moon straight up at the same time as someone in Egypt can see the moon. Your separation could be no more than 90 degrees for this to be possible, so the simple explanation is that either you are lying....or your friend is. My guess is that it is the former. Take today for example. In Los Angeles California, the moon appeared straight up to them at 8:51 am. This is 5:51 pm in Cairo, Egypt, and the moon set time was at 2:23 pm. When the sun is straight up in the sky in Los Angeles, it had already set 3 and a half hours ago in Egypt. It's pretty easy to make shit up and pass it along as fact and fool a few morons, but an educated person knows how to verify this nonsense.

[@SpottedSharks]

@@willoughbykrenzteinburg An example from Stellarium helps. On 13 Oct 2019, the most recent full moon, at 8 pm local time in Los Angeles the moon was about 10 degrees above the eastern horizon. At the same time in Cairo, Egypt, the moon was about 10 degrees above the western horizon. The moon could definitely not be anywhere near its zenith at either location and be visible at the same time.

[@willoughbykrenzteinburg]

@@SpottedSharks Yep - that is consistent with their actual separation. I'm gonna have to check out Stellarium. I've never heard of it.

2:43 so why dont we have a monthly solar eclipse?

[@TheBartman47]

+profesas Because the moon is usually higher or lower than the direct line of light from the sun. Occasionally the moon passes directly between the sun and earth, and there's the eclipse.

[@Emad.A.E]

The Veracity Sector, you simply need to take everything into scale. The video here is a crude explanation. The moon is far away from her head! Likewise the sun is from her..

[@jonathonpeterson6203]

Have you ever heard of a lunar eclipse? It's when the earth blocks the light of the sun from hitting the moon just like a solar eclipse when the moon blocks the light of the sun. It DOES happen but like with all things this model is a simplification. However because of eccentricities in an elliptical orbit and the tilt of the earth, and depending where you're standing on the earth at the time, it is an uncommon event.

If that was the case, the Moon would never have phases, it'll be full everyday! Out Of Time 11 mo ago @Ramdancer Exactly. They want us to believe that the Sun lights up the Moon, behind the scenes.

You will never see it because the moon(full moon to be exact) will be on the night side of the earth and the sun will be facing you and the moon. Vice versa with the new moon at night and why you never see skinny crescent moons.

[@leggi5943]

Because of the light from the sun doin' stuff with our atmosphere, to avoid being too complicated, think of it like this. Go in a room full of small bodies near a light(A very bright one), and then turn it on, some of the objects there are hard to see aren't they? And with a blue atmosphere covering our surface, its mostly impossible to see the Moon. The light from our sun and our atmosphere also hold the same reason why you can't see stars in the day light. Also, you're right Fonzo. :D

+Fonzo HD filmed it yesterday sun up. ..moon up...full moon

So, the lit side of the Moon should point directly to the position of the Sun. The model is great, but the reality is different.

[@blakesnipe5347]

Yes, the lit side of the moon should point directly at the sun - - - if you were standing on the moon or the sun - that's what you would see as well. However, you're not. You're standing on Earth so the perspective is going to throw things off a bit. That said, the side of the moon that is lit is always pointing toward the general direction of the sun. Always. If you wish to assert something completely differently, then you're just making shit up. These things have been meticulously tracked for a couple thousand years. The phases of the moon are the direct result of its day/night cycle as observed from Earth. What is is exactly you are trying to imply?

[@victoriaemerald2201]

The side of the Moon that is lit is NOT ALWAYS pointing in the general direction of the Sun. You have not looked for yourself, with your own eyes every day. You are taking someone's word for it. The best time to look for this is during the day from two weeks before full Moon all the way up to full Moon. Look at the Moon in the morning and then in the evening and you will see that the lit side isn't always facing the Sun. I didn't believe it either until I observed it myself.

[@my3dviews]

+Victoria Emerald Yes, the lit side of the moon always faces the sun. It has never been observed to do otherwise. If so, make a video of this undocumented phenomena.

[@victoriaemerald2201]

I'm not speaking about the side of the Moon that we never see. If the Sun is casting a shadow on the Moon then the Shaded side of the Moon will always be exactly opposite the light of the Sun in our view of the sky. Observation proves that this is not the case, therefore the Sun isn't causing the phasing of the Moon.

[@blakesnipe5347]

Victoria Emerald The shaded side of the moon should be kind of opposite the sun; not exactly opposite. Perspective will make it vary a little. The sun doesn't cast shadows by the way. The sun is 93 million miles farther than the moon, so it's not going to line up perfectly. Wherever the sun is, it is still mostly behind the moon during phases on the new moon side of its orbit.
