Phases of moon explained using an orrery
Vložit
- čas přidán 1. 06. 2019
- As the moon rotates around the earth it travels through phases.
The alignment of the sun, earth, and moon create the phases.
I use an orrery to explain the moon's alignment during,
new moon, waxing crescent, ist quarter, waxing gibbous, full moon, waning gibbous, last quarter, waning crescent, and back to new moon.
The sidereal period is 27.3 and the moon is measured against stars.
The synodic period is 29.5 days and the moon is measured against the sun.

Thanks, you saved me from my daughter questions
@Sam Rightin I can't explain to you my daughter questions 😅
So a new moon is the sun behind the moon at night so that we see no moon? Yet it's dark even though the sun and moon are on the same side of earth at the same time? Where is the sun during the night again? Cause I thought I was taught the sun is on the other side of earth at night?
😂😂😂😂😂😂
@@truth198 a New Moon is not in the sky at night ! It rises with the sun and sets with the sun .
@@ivanmarsh5835 crescent Moon at night
Next night New Moon other side of the earth even though I can see a faint outline of it on this side of the Earth
Side of the Earth?
The sun is supposedly stationary and it rises
The moon supposedly orbits and it rises
Looking at a new moon at night
When the sun is on the same side of the Earth
the scientific explanation of all this is a jumbled mess
"We'll know our disinformation program is complete when everything the American public believes is false"?
Thanks! I know basically how the phases work but it's hard for me to visualize so many things rotating at once so I'm glad someone made a model 😂
Except the earth doesn’t rotate at all😂😂😂
@@MonzeyDigitalMediaLLC9what do you mean? It's rotating extremely fast in the video
you can add the fact that the moon is on a different orbiting plane as its orbit is at 15 degrees....some complicated stuff, but so interesting....
The moon goes over your head 28 times in a "month." Not once in 28 days. Our Gregorian calendar is the only unit of measure that has unequal lengths. This is all to confuse you about the earth and moon. An inch is an inch is an inch. Centimeter. Hour. Mile..... But a month can be 3 diff lengths... LOL! Confused yet? Month comes from the word Moon. A moon cycle. Except Pope Gregory decided we needed to change it so people would turn to the church for answers and not nature.
@@jstone1211 The tilt of the moon's orbit around the earth is 5 degrees, not 15.

This is the clearest explanation of the orbit I have seen, thank you!
How can the moon be behind the eatrh and yet be a full moon and when its perfectly straight to the sun there is eclipse? (the moon is much smaller than earth and its keep his distance from earth)
@@adizrihan4077 If you hold a beach ball in right in front of your face to block the sunlight....it's pretty easy....now....have someone hold that same beach ball in front of your face from 30 yards away....not so easy. The model used in this demonstration is WAY out of scale.....(moon is way too close to the earth)
To scale would be more like a beach ball representing the Earth and and a baseball the moon... and they're about 50 yards apart.....the moons orbit around the earth is not horizontal, it's elliptical and tilted.....so it only lines up at certain times to have an eclipse. Your welcome!
All I got from this is BS because the moon is outside in the daytime, so if i can see it at daytime, what's on the darkside at night
@adizrihan4077 If you think that's puzzling, how about this? Why do I see it in the daytime but it's on the dark side, and in nighttime, how does that

@@MooMooMath Although, it would have been beneficial to have made mention of the moon's 5 degree orbital inclination, which might have prevented so many people from asking why a solar or lunar eclipse doesn't occur every month.

because earth is flat
The Truth omg 😂😂😂😭😭😭😂😂😂
It’s because of 24hours spin 😂😂😂😂
Might as well be a year already
Well if you look relatively to his model and carefully observe the revolution of moon around the earth(#model) in reality that's 27 days(appx) which means that in model earth has rotated 27 times around it's axis. So it's ok
So much better than other versions of this explanation, I love how the speeds are represented too.
That was so well explained. thank you

@@justme8841 you're right!
If only this information was available 2000 years ago.
I think the left/right allignment only applies to the northern hemisphere. The view from the southern hemisphere would be the opposite.
I don't think that would apply because everything is still moving the same direction & facing the same direction north to south. The sun doesn't start rising from❤ the west in the southern hemisphere.

@MooMooMath
Do you realize that model shows we should have one solar eclipse and one lunar eclipse every lunar cycle? Also, every solar eclipse shadow travels East to West. That's not what we witness with our eyes.
Wow, whoever designed the movements of solar system is a god
Ha... ha.....ha........
Yes it is
Thank You for this informative video. Waning Gibbous 3.5 days from full moon (180°/14 days) the illustration at 2:09 should be rotated 225° approx. not 270°. May be typo error

This is precious...... Thanks for the relay of such important info......... Good job
So nice of you
@@MooMooMath It's a shame you didn't mention in the video, that the moon's orbit around the earth is inclined at a 5 degree angle, which is why a lunar or solar eclipse doesn't occur every month.
So many people have asked why these eclipses don't happen every month.

Great video - but in one lunar cycle the Earth has travelled around the Sun a bit, so the Moon has to travel slightly More than 360degrees around the earth to get back to New Moon, hence 29.5 days in the lunar cycle
I was wondering why lunar months were 29/30 days instead of 27
It doesn't travel more than 360°. It is not physically possible.
It just covers more distance, since an elliptical orbit ➿➿ is greater than a round one⭕.
It would made much more sense if the light came from the orange baloon, not from above.
Thank you so much! I appreciate this
I was observing the moon since last two months from my tarace daily ..by observing it got to know that the speed of revolution of 🌙 moon is too low that's why every Night it comes with a very little change.
I cleared my doubt with your Vedio.. Thanks.
The room should be dark, the light should be coming from the sun model or a wall not the ceiling. You did not demonstrate / duplicate a lunar phase.

I'm reteaching myself 🌐
There is plain evidence that the World/Earth is not a globe!
The World is a Flat-Plate under the Dome Firmament just as the Bible describes!
Water and all fluids always lay line-flat; land, liquids and gases never ever curve into the shape of a spherical ball!
The Satanic, make-belief, computer generated/animated globe model is a massive deception; simply put, the shape of the fake globe is logically flat-out impossiball!
Still think the World is a spherical ball ?! Observe the proof for your own self; we all being deceived by the Satanic, disgusting, wicked, World Governments!
Here's the Flat-out Truth:
czcams.com/video/xTf5BtXBhxE/video.html
czcams.com/video/rputen0ahP8/video.html
Please share with as much people as possible!
bendy magic I thought you guys lived around the globe
1. It is just flat-out impossible for fluids to rest dead-still (not even an ultra-slight "pico-bit" of movement at all) if the World was a spherical ball that spun on the axis AND traveled around the Sun at the same time. It is logical fact that fluids can never-ever rest dead-still if being spun on a ball, even if the speed of the ball is constant. The centrifugal force of a rotating ball is felt and active even if the spinning-speed of it is not changing.
(at the wicked-fast pace of well over 50,000miles/hour as the fake, make-belief globe-model deceives sheeple into believing)
2. If a downward acceleration force exists that keeps mass from floating/rising up out of the World's atmosphere is in existance then how come NASA liers have to be hooked on wires even when up in "space" and how come clouds never ever fall down to the World's ground surface-level due to the magical, weird, "universal", "down-to-Earth", vector force-field that retards believe can "curve water / land" around into the shape of a ball/globe.
3. Some living beings can't even move on their own will and have no conscious mind at all; including: grass, bushes, trees, flowers, mushrooms, vegetables and fruits. Non-living objects or items including: dust, powder, fluids, pebbles, stones/rocks and clouds are definitely not able to move on their own, as their conscienceness is non-existent.
The non-existent, animated, make-believe globe-model shows a spinning rock-ball/globe that both spins and travels rapidly in "outer space", with out being able to give a single pigshit explanation for the reason why the globe is spinning and traveling in "outer space" to begin with. Those wicked, stubborn, ignorant, liers either don't or can't provide a single pigshit explanation as to what fuels the spin as well.
Simply explained- thank you

The shadow moves from right to left, only in the Northern Hemisphere

@@shirleyhandzus8095 you are right, it does
Picturing the new moon in front of a dark sky while saying "how it looks from the earth" is kind of misleading, seeing how it'd be impossible to see it during the night.
This is somewhat true although new moons can be seen if some sort of equipment is used. For example, a pretty powerful telescope can show you quite a bit.

@@namtse !???
@@TheSpacePlaceYT how can you see the moon when it at the opposite side of your counrty in night and the moon is between earth and sun
@@State_supreme Cause the earth spins so you will face the moon and sun everyday. Now maybe you are asking about seeing a new moon. You need special instruments to see the moon during the day at a new moon.

In NZ our waxing moon has the light on the left and will be in the shape of a C.
Out waning moon has the light on the right
Is this a northern/southern hemisphere thing?
Yes, it is, and it's also different if you see it at the equator line and around.
it is a great video....but it wud be greatest if a torch was used instead of the model of sun used in video.....and the demonstration was performed in dark(excpet for torch)

This demo looks misleading. By this placement of the moon, aren't we supposed to get a lunar eclipse every month instead of full moon and see a doughnut shaped sun in the day on first of the lunar month?
Very interesting, thank you. Do the same rules apply in the southern hemisphere? Not that I have ever been there.

Excellant presentation! Where can one purchase the apparatus you are using to demonstrate the Lunar Cycles??
I searched around, think he used ULTECHNOVO Solar System Model. I found it on amazon
Brilliant idea
But why you didn't show moon rotating on its own axis ?
@Rafael Maschio but it still rotates
The moon is tidally locked to always show the same surface toward Earth. Its rotation on its axis matches its orbit around Earth. By having it rotate as a rigid body with the frame that rotates it in this model, it is rotating around its own axis.
They showed this vid in my class
Brilliant video. Thank you.
I was 40 years old when I learned this! Thank you!
The earth is older than the sun. When the moon and the sun came about, they were to give the seasons, and time to make up for days and months, and years... Why then the moon moved around the earth and the sun did not, instead, the earth that was in place steady originally, was then made to move around the sun. First of all, is the earth a planet...that it should move. In the beginning, God created the heavens and the earth...later the sun and moon were created together with stars and planets...earth was not one among these because it was already there...just curious...

Thanks, you saved me from having to think for myself.
Beautiful presentation...thx
I’m sure I’ve missed something but I’m confused about the full moon. When the moon gets to 180 degrees wouldn’t the Earth sits directly between the Sun and Moon. Wouldn’t the Sun and moon in alignment cause a shadow so you couldn’t see the Moon at all? Or are the Sun’s rays so strong that Earth does not have a shadow?
czcams.com/video/VW2xRR75lKE/video.html you would need to watch this video to understand your question....the moon and earth have a tilted axis with reference to each other....so when they do get aligned at some point we get our Eclipses i.e the shadows
The sun is SO much bigger than the Earth that its light can usually still reach the moon from around the sides of the Earth. Every once in a while, though, the Earth and moon will line up perfectly and Earth will block the light from reaching the moon. That is what causes a lunar eclipse.
Also I do not understand the waning gibbous phase. When the moon is facing the sun or is coming near the sun, then it should be the same like waxing gibbous phase. But its the opposite. I do not understand why.
True
The moons orbit has an inclination of 5.145 degrees so its not directly behind the earth its above or beliw the earth shadow, when its not its a lunar eclipse.
In the southern hemisphere, where I live, the light emerges on the left.
So what
@@kazoht5035 So it matters what hemisphere you live on, what side of the moon's ecliptic!

Thank you for a wonderful and simple explanation. can u explain information on the plate beneath the sun.
So earth doesn’t cast a shadow on the moon, interesting
Actually, it often does cast a shadow. You've heard of a lunar eclipse. There are also penumbra lunar eclipses which occur more frequently, but are not well advertised because it merely seems to dim the moon.
@@interestedparty00 only during eclipses you're right
@@anjel6624 idk what you mean
Yeah wouldn't there be the moon's shadow cast on earth once a month when the moon is in between the earth and sun? By this literal model at least. Also wouldn't the earth's shadow be cast on the moon and completely darken it at the time this video says we have a full moon? Confusing.
Josph. You need to think in 3D not 2D. Only rarely the moon will be in front os the sun, and that is called an eclipse.
I look up to see the moon at night. I also look up to see the moon during the day.. So if the Earth is round, they whoevwr is on the exact bottom of the globe from me, would be looking down to see the moon?
No up is outward from the earth (outward is where the moon is). The northern hemisphere the moon looks one way and from the south it looks upside down.

Earth's shadow has nothing to do with moon phases.
SpottedSharks that’s not what I ask
There are always areas with long shadows on the Moon - just like there are on Earth (in areas going through sunrise or sunset). But the divide of day and night is very hard to see at full moon.
@@JaneXemylixa thank you for explaining that👍
Yes. But ask yourself why sometime the shadow of a round earth is BACKWARDS on the moon. The model is broken. Some just aren't smart enough to point it out. Also how can a new moon be on the same side as the sun when a new moon happens in the night sky. If the sun is on that side of the earth it wouldnt be night time.... PERIOD. the explanation that anyone would try to use to combat what I just said would be long and too much to understand because it's not true
So when the moon infront of the sun it will be no moon at night. Is it what happen?
That is called as Amavasya
That side of moon which is facing earth, doesn't receive light from sun.. Hence you can't see it. But moon still is there obviously.

But when the moon is behind the earth or 180° as you say...shouldn't we have a moon eclipse instead of "full moon,,?😒
Where does the moon get the sunlight from in that position...considering that the earth is 4 times bigger than the moon. Do you have an explanation for that as well?
wondering the same thing
@@lohanthony The moon is not always in the same plane as the earth and the Sun. So the earth can't block light during every full moon. But every once in a while they align close to the same plane and a lunar eclipse occurs. When they are exactly in the a same plane, the earth blocks all the light that should have fallen on the moon and a total lunar eclipse is seen.
I think a video on lunar eclipses will make everything clear.
@@wetfire-gf1gb hehehehe...😂
Do you really believe this things that you are saying or just trying to defend your theory?
But the problem is that the module that you are showing in your video, the sun...earth and moon are in the same plane and we still have a full moon.😏
I think you still have to work hard with the moon's shape of orbit around the earth...and make another video, and maybe it can "work,, but still can't work.
@@sajohysa2135 making a model to scale would be impractical since astronomical distances are so large. You might want to brush up on that at learnastronomy.com
Even if he showed a 5° tilt in the moon's orbit , it would never allow for a full moon at such small distances and large models for planets. The model is there to help us understand, not to claim that that's how it really is.
This is not my video, but I hope the creator knows that I appreciate the hard work and time he has invested into making this model.
May be sun orbits earth 😂
PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE, Show us WHY & HOW in 2017 in America we saw a TOTAL ECLIPSE cross the country FROM WEST TO EAST ??
When we ALWAYS see the Sun Rise in the East and Set in the West !?
Eclipses in general move from west to east. Only in rare scenarios of solar eclipses near the poles, does the solar eclipse move from east to west.
The moon's tangential speed is about twice as fast as the Earth's tangential speed of rotation. If the Earth didn't rotate, the moon would rise in the west and set in the east. So the moon is actually moving west to east, we just don't normally experience this, because our own planet is rotating. When there is an eclipse, the tangential velocity of the moon matters more, than the angular velocity of the Earth, and thus eclipses in general move west to east.
Magic math words so you'll just say, uh OK whatever.
amazing video ! thanks !
Greatest and simplest explanation
According to this representation, shouldn’t earth cast shadow on moon on full moon.
On a lunar eclipse, that is what happens. This model isnt exact, but yes, the Earth can leave a shadow on the moon. It just doesnt happen that frequently because the alignment of the sun, Earth and Moon need to be just right.
@@spudsbuchlaw and what causes the shadow on the moon?
@@maxhughes2040 the same thing that causes your Shadow when you're outside: the sun not being angled in the right direction
2:04 why not lunar Eclipse 😒🥰
0:53 why not solar eclipse 😂
I don't know if you still want an answer or not. but might as well. The moon and sun are not on the same plane. There is a 5 degree difference (called Inclination) and most of the time the moon is above or below the earths shadow for a lunar eclipse and above/below the sun for a solar eclipse. Eclipses only happen when the moon is in direct alignment.

How is it full when the earth is in front of the sun’s light?
The models in the video are not to scale, you gotta remember the moon and sun are 384,400 km and 149.6 million km apart from the earth
The moon is so far away from the earth that sunlight illuminates the entire moon surface. It is only during a lunar eclipse that the moon actually enters the shadow of the earth. During this event the colour of the light reflecting off the moon dims to a reddish colour.
i think of it this way - that the sun is so large in comparison to the earth, that the sun's light goes around the earth easily to still hit the moon's surface and illuminate it.

In fact if it were as big as the Heliocentric model depicts… would it not fill the entire sky and do exactly as you say? If the moon’s light was merely a reflection of the sun’s, would it not also share characteristics of that light… be warmer in its light than its shade? Be not putrifying, but oxidising? The Heliocentric model bears no relevance in reality, it is full of inconsistencies. I may not have all the answers, but I know what doesn’t fit. The program, for starters
