Phases and Motions of the Moon 

Thank you!

Another award from Greece 🙏🙏

I'm so happy you enjoyed it, and thank you for the kind comment!

Thanks, I’m glad you found it helpful.

Excellent, I'm glad it helped!

💯💯

It's moving counter clockwise to everyone on earth, it's only because of earths rotation towards the east that makes it seem like it is moving from east to west.

Dude where were you at not knowing the moon was always facing one side?

navneet Kumar I totally agree with you

Greetings. Chilean here. I cannot tell anything about plants, but the Moon phases here are both the same and different. They are the same as they happen in the exact same way and at the exact same time, but they look different. You see the phases in this order: 🌑🌒🌓🌕🌗🌘🌑 Whereas we see them like this: 🌑🌘🌗🌕🌓🌒🌑 Because we see the Moon from the other side. We both watch the Sun and the Moon rising in the East and setting in the West. But you look to the South to see them, and watch them going from left to right. We look to the North, and watch them going from right to left. Thinking tridimensionally is hard! 😄

Glad you enjoyed it!

Glad you found it helpful!

Thanks again

Wow, thank you!

And clearly, your interpretation of what you're observing is wrong.

Because it's a waning gibbous after full moon. Remember xDOCx, x is new moon, waxing quarter is a D 🌓, waning quarter is a C 🌗 which before hand is 🌖 and before that is 🌕. Because the sunny side is shifting away from our view. x D O C x 🌑 🌓 🌕 🌗 🌑 So what you're referring to is the first one to the right of the full moon here: 🌑🌒🌓🌔🌕🌖🌗🌘🌑 🌑 🌒 🌓 🌔 🌕 🌖 🌗 🌘 🌑 Full moon sets around sunrise and rises around sunset. 6/12/6/12 .........Midnight 18/6pm 🜨 06/6am .............Noon (Give or take 3 hrs) 1: Rise 2: Zenith 3: Set New moon 🌑 3🜨1 .. 2 Waxing quarter 🌓D ...3 2🜨 ...1 Full moon 🌕 ...2 1🜨3 Waning quarter 🌗C 1 🜨2 3

To confuse the sheeple

@@clightning300mi_Exactly!_

@@clightning300mi _the only living being affected by man made pseudoscientific laws is mankind itself._ _nature doesn’t bother herself with perverted man made theories about the phases of the moon, and everything else._ _nature simply ignores all those pseudoscientific self anointed intellectuals, and continues her path as it always has been, and as it always will be._

@@michael.forkert Speaking of gullible 'sheeple', that would be all these naive and easily fooled flat earth believing clowns, right?

Things that make you go hmm....

Thanks!

Thank you!

Isn't it amazing how many people have ignorant fools for parents.

Yes!!! unfortunately, he doesn't address this though.

The inside set shows how the far side (which I colored gold) always faces away from Earth while the near side (which I left uncolored) always faces Earth at all times in its orbit. The outer set shows the phases of the Moon as seen from Earth.

Yeah, it's a little confusing at first, but try this out: Go outside and face south. North is behind you, East is to your left and West is to your right. Now look up at the sky. Which way is East?

@@LaunchPadAstronomy makes sense, thanks for your reply.

Because in the northern hemisphere the ecliptic, and so therefore the sun, is always more south, especially in the winter when the north pole is titled away from the sun (so therefore the ecliptic and sun is lower on thr north hemisphere horizon). Look for Orions feet to find south. Facing south, west is right and east is left.

cool.

Because the moons orbital plane is tilted about 5degrees.

No because the plane of the moons orbit is tilted. That’s why we don’t have an eclipse every month.

Bro same :D

Thanks! The tides are strongest at both full and new phases because the Sun's tidal forces add to the Moon's. I talk about that in a little more detail here: ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-1DqsvRrzL-c.html

@@LaunchPadAstronomy Thanks a lot for that. It’s something I’ve never understood and no other astronomers have been able or willing to attempt an answer...

We see both crescent and waning moon both during daytime *and* night, at different hours and in different days of the month, depending on its phase. We *never* see the full moon during daytime. Only for a short time, when the Sun is just set, there is still some sunset light and the Moon is rising, only then you could say you see the Moon when still is daytime - but it is sunset, no broad daylight. If you see the Moon during daytime, look carefully, you'll see it is not full. Just wait until sunset, and you'll realize it is not actually full, but crescent. The Moon cannot change its phase in the course of a few hours. Watch the Moon every day and every night. The explanation in this video is correct, but accelerated. Everything that here takes seconds, in reality it takes days.

My pleasure!

What? How can earth reflect it's shadow towards the sun if the sun is what casts the light? On a new moon/dark moon, the moon is in between the earth and sun. On a waxing crescent 🌒 (like a letter D. If x is new moon it goes xDOCx, so remember DOC), the moon slightly shifted so some of the sun light now shines on the part we see. It's still generally between us and the sun until it's at a 90° angle on quarter/half moons (hence neap tides). The earth shadow gets casted in the opposite direction of the sun, not towards the sun

Katelynn it looks like you did very well :)
