Giant Impact Theory (The Big Whack) 2) proposes a Mars-sized asteroid collided with Earth 4. 5 billion years ago.
3)The “Man” on the Moon
FACTS • 4)The moon does not have an iron core It is ¼ the size of the Earth.
5) The moon causes TIDES here on earth.
MOON FACTS 6) The gravity of the moon is 1/6 that of Earth’s gravity. If you weighed 100 lbs here, then you would weigh 16 lbs on the moon.
Buzz Aldrin’s Footprint on the Moon • The Moon’s surface is covered with Regolith (dust)…. It varies between 1 inch – 15 km in depth. • Powdered rock created by billions of years of impacts.

12) Neap Tide Neap tide occurs during 1 st Quarter and 3 rd Quarter Earth-moon-sun at right angle
MOTIONS OF THE MOON

14)Lunar Eclipse • A lunar eclipse happens when we look at the moon and see Earth’s shadow and see the FULL moon. penumbra moon SUN Earth umbra
15)Solar Eclipse • A solar eclipse is when you look at the sun and see the NEW moon blocking the light of the sun.
Solar eclipse moon umbra SUN Earth penumbra
The Orbit of the Moon Average Orbital Velocity 2, 000 mph Moon Apogee (farthest point from the Earth) 250, 000 miles Earth 225, 000 miles Moon Average Distance from the Earth 240, 000 miles Perigee (closest point to the Earth)
