Phase of the Moon

  • Phases of the Moon - 月亮的阴晴圆缺 - different shapes of the moon.
  • Lunar revolution - The moon move around the earth.
  • Lunar revolution length - The moon move around the earth it takes 29.5 days for one revolution.
  • Waxing - 增加 - The shape of the moon increase.
  • Waning - 减少 - The shape of the moon decrease.
  • New moon - 新月 - no moon; when we see nothing.
  • Gibbous moon - 凸月 - the shape of the moon is more than half.
  • Quarter moon - 半月 - half moon.
  • Crescent moon - the shape of the moon is less than half.
  • Full moon - 满月 - a big and round moon.

Summary
Phases of the moon which is different shapes of the moon. When the moon move around the earth we called lunar revolution. It takes 29.5 days for one revolution. New moon is no moon; when we see nothing. Then, the shape start to change. Waxing crescent moon is the shape of the moon increase but less than half, look like a banana. First quarter, which is half moon. Waxing gibbous moon is when the shape of the moon increase and more than half. Finally is full moon, a big and round moon. Again, the shape start to change and decrease. Waning gibbous moon, the shape of the moon decrease and more than half. Third quarter, the moon become half again, but is different position. Waning crescent moon, the shape is decrease and less than half. Finally back to new moon. This is all about moon phases.


How is the earth affected by movement(revolution)?

The moon affected the (ocean)tides on earth. When the earth rotates and the moon move around it. 
 The gravity pulls the ocean's waters towards itself, and cause the high tides. When the moon passes, it's gravity no longer pulls the waters, and the tides become lower.
