Methods 2: Week 6 (before questions)

 1.) How the phases of the moon occur?

The position of the moon changes as it rotates around the earth, so we see a different amount of the moon that is reflecting the Sun’s light. 

2.) What causes the seasons?

The Earth’s orbit around the sun is not a a circle, but an Oval. So it the Earth is a different distance from the Sun at different points in its rotation. This causes the temeratures and season’s to change. 

3.) What causes a Lunar Eclipse

The Sun causes Earth’s shadow to cover the moon.
