MY+MOON=)

The moon’s phases are simply it’s daytime, and nighttime cycle. One side of the moon is always lit by the sun, and the other side is usually dark. Because our moon orbits around earth, we get to see its face, at different time of the month. During a full moon, we look up at the day time face of the moon. The next day, it starts all over. The New moon is the lunar phase of the cycle. The moon likes between the sun, and the earth. At the time of the new moon, the darkened side faces the earth, so that you can’t see the moon. The new moon means “First Crescent” marks the beginning of a month. It different cultured calendars, it marks the month as “Dark Moon”. Full moon is the lunar phase that is when the moon faces the opposite side of the Earth. Seen on Earth the moon that is facing the earth, is almost fully lighted by the sun, and appears round. Whereas the moon that doesn’t face the earth, isn’t lit. The Full moon should appear on either the 14 or 15th of lunar months. Lunar months can be 29, or 30 days long. The moon moves completely around the Earth in around 27 days. Since the moon has to move east along the constellations to go completely around the sky in 27 days, it has to move east 13.2 degrees each day. Since the earth moves 1 degree every 4 minutes, the moon has to move every 52 minutes a day. The moon is Earth’s moon. It’s the fifth biggest moon in the solar system. The moon is 384,403 kilometers, from earth.
