Phases of moon explained using an orrery
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 1 июн 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
@@blackallday the Earth spins around once a day...the moon spins around once a month.

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
the best video explained about sun, moon and earth rotation. thank you!
You're very welcome
@@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.
So much better than other versions of this explanation, I love how the speeds are represented too.
Wow, whoever designed the movements of solar system is a god
Ha... ha.....ha........
Yes it is
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.

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⭕.
OMG I am so glad for this video and simulation. I was so ignorant on this before. Thanks so much
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.

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...

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:
ruclips.net/video/xTf5BtXBhxE/видео.html
ruclips.net/video/rputen0ahP8/видео.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.
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 indeed. Nice demonstration & visualization! Loved it.
Many thanks!
@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.
I think there is a mistake on Waning Gibbous angle, it shows 270° but if you add roughly 13° per day you get around 220°. Plus 270° is written for the last quarter as well.
i noticed this too
The shadow moves from right to left, only in the Northern Hemisphere
If I was at the equator wouldn't it look like the shadow was moving from top to bottom?
@@shirleyhandzus8095 you are right, it does

Thank you so much! I appreciate this
Thanks, you saved me from having to think for myself.
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.
Don't think. Just regurgitate the narrative. Logic and reason not allowed in space talk
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.
Thank you. Very easy to understand with your video.
Not only a good video but one I can understand, thank you....
Thanks for stopping by. Sorry for the mistake that I didn't catch. At the end of the video, I say the new moon occurs in roughly 27 days. Please let me explain. The sidereal period is 27.3 and the moon is measured against stars and the synodic period is 29.5 days when the moon is measured against the sun. The length of a lunation is 29.530588 days (or 29 days, 12 hours, 44 minutes, and 2.8 seconds) and occurs roughly every 32 days. You may get two new moons in a month. Sorry for any confusion.

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.
Thank you for the explanation.

@@abhijeetsagade1418 but why full moon occurs when earth is shading the moon .. Or the waves bends themselves like that relativity thing ..
Really very useful i littary understand the phenomenon thanks alot❤
Greatest and simplest explanation
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?
ruclips.net/video/VW2xRR75lKE/видео.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.
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.
@@MrT------5743 The other night the moon was large and within 10 minutes it had lowered back out of view behind the house this morning the moon was out and stayed way up in the sky all morning. It is interesting.

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.
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.
@@MrT------5743 Help is always appreciated. Thank you 👌😊
Thank you for your information sir 🌹🌹🌹
2:34 Great mnemonic from a great video. Thanks!
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.
@@margaretharritt6772 then why does it appear so small, actually the exact same size as the moon, if it’s so big? 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
Awesome,quick question for you,does the shadows on the moon only occur when the earth is in between the sun and the moon ie the banana shapes formed? Thanks Dan
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
I am now 42yrs old my teacher in elementary taught already how earth is the moon visible from time to time, I know how to imagine it,but I still have questions in my mind, though on my time we only have our encyclopedia when we are researching things plus the teacher we don't have any internet to research more about it, thanks to this video, I already relieve, I know now how to explain with my nephew's and niece why moon is visible on earth, why there's full,quarter,crescent moon etc. thank u man!
I can never understand why some people have such a hard time understanding what causes the changing areas of light and shade on the moon's surface throughout the month.
The moon obviously orbits the earth and takes around 4 weeks to do so.
This is why the cycle of moon phases, from the time a full moon takes place to the time the next full moon occurs, is a period of around 4 weeks.
When the moon orbits the earth, the moon is also changing its position relative to the sun, and we see the changing areas on the moon's surface that are being illuminated by the sun.
What's demonstrated in this video, can also be simulated by anybody who goes outside during the day when the sun is shining.
Hold a round ball (tennis ball, basketball) at arms length and slowly spin around 360 degrees.
As you do this, you'll notice the changing appearance of the ball, with different parts of the ball being illuminated as you spin.
What you see on the ball's surface, is exactly what's occurring on the moon's surface as it orbits the earth.
Wonder full video and explanation
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.
But if this is true, we should show the eclipse every day!!
Did you not know that the moon's orbit around the earth is not in perfect alignment, but has a 5 degree inclination?
Yeah and also the Moon's shadow on the Earth is very small, so solar eclipses are seen in a relatively quite narrow streak around the world when they occur. There can be a full eclipse somewhere, a partial eclipse nearby to the North and to the South, and no eclipse at all further North and further South. (In fact it's not due North nor due South: the streak is almost never parallel the equator, as the Earth's axis of rotation is tilted and it is the Earth's rotation that makes the shadow "move" around. On top of that, the curved surface of the Earth makes the shadow move in a curved trajectory.)
For an eclipse to happen another phenomenon needs to be factored in which is called declination and measured in degrees. When the sun are moon are in same declination then there is a chance for an eclipse
@@sailorman8668 That's right. The Moon can be as much as 37,000 km 'above' or 'below' Earth when at New or Full Moon, relative to the Sun, meaning there's no vertical 'alignment'.
If we live on round spinning / rotating globe that travels in "space" non-stop, well over 35,000miles an hour, well over 750,000miles per day; why do water and other fluids all lay line-flat, and rest dead-still at the same time?!
N0 one ever feels even an ultra-small, slightest of anything, rotating sense/feeling, of the computer animated, fake, deceitful, globe model's spinning centrifugal force! The illogical, silly, make-belief globe model is non-existant; it is just outright impossiball!
The speed of the ferris wheel that I was riding on very uniformly sped up to it's maximum speed of about 7 kilometers an hour in under just the first 45 degrees of rotation; and it rotated over 270 degrees at the speed of 7 kilometers an hour uniformly (without any deceleration or further acceleration) until decelerating to a stand-still in under the last 45 degrees of rotation.
I still felt the uniform rotational force of the giant ferris wheel even during the non-speed-changing section of the rotation when the very slow (roughly 7 kilometers an hour) wheel's rotating speed / spinning motion was constant!
The World is a stationary, non-moving Flat-Plate under the Dome Firmament exactly as the Bible describes !

Thank you bro for showing the diffrent phase of moon i always eager to know how the moon theory works
Thanks for sharing. love it.
You are so welcome!
Think about the odds of the moon being the exact distance from the earth for it to exactly cover the sun in an eclipse
It seems you're unaware that only 30% of all solar eclipses are actually a 'total' eclipse?
@@sailorman8668 that's got nothing to do with the outrageous odds of sun and moon being the same relative size
@@MarvinMonroe But that's the point - they're only the same relative size on infrequent occasions.
The vast majority of the time, either the sun or the moon has an angular diameter that is smaller or bigger than the other.
Did you actually not realise this Marvin and what the reason is for the difference in size?
@@sailorman8668 yeah of course it's infrequent. Why do you want to argue? I was only pointing out a tidbit that many people point out. I've heard many astronomers and whatnot point it out. Everyone who points it out isn't an idiot like you're implying
Edit: I'm assuming you've spent so much time arguing with/correcting flat earthers that you've become paranoid and believe everyone is stupid. Common side effect of RUclips comments

First result when I googled. Just something I find interesting. Your condescension was uncalled for
