The Moon's phases in Oreos
•
Use the placemat on the second page as
a guide.
•
Then open up some Oreo cookies and scrape off the creme filling to make the
four major phases of the Moon
(shown
the right).
•
These Oreo "Moons" show how the Moon
looks
from Earth during these phases.
Why does the Moon look different
throughout the Month?
he Moon has "phases." That means it looks a
ittle different to us each night during its one-
onth orbit of our planet.
New Moon:
First Quarter:
Full Moon:
Third Quarter:
We describe how the Moon looks with terms such as "Full Moon," "First
Quarter," and "New Moon" (which we can't really see, because the side that
is lit faces away from us).
The Moon has no light of its own. Moonlight is sunlight bouncing off the
Moon's surface. As the Moon orbits Earth, the Sun lights up whatever side of
the Moon is facing it. To
the Sun, it's always a full
Moon! If you were looking
down upon Earth and its
Moon from way out in
space over the North Pole,
you would see a Moon
that
looked like one of these
(see picture).
But we see the Moon from
the center of its orbit. So
we see different portions
of the lit side of the Moon.
