Lunar Phases

• Lunar phases are the different visible shapes of the Moon as seen from Earth, due to the relative positions of the Sun, Earth, and Moon.
• The lunar cycle takes approximately 29.5 days to complete.
• Key phases include: New Moon (unilluminated side facing Earth), Waxing Crescent (illuminated crescent), First Quarter (right half illuminated), Waxing Gibbous (more than half illuminated), Full Moon (fully illuminated), Waning Gibbous (more than half illuminated, but decreasing), Third Quarter (left half illuminated), and Waning Crescent (decreasing illumination until New Moon).

Lunar Rotation

• The Moon's rotation is synchronous; it rotates on its axis in the same time it takes to orbit Earth (approximately 27.3 days).
• This results in only one side of the Moon, the "near side," being visible from Earth.
• The Moon's orbit is elliptical, causing variations in its orbital speed.
• The Moon's axial tilt is approximately 1.5 degrees, affecting the visibility of certain surface regions.
• Earth's gravity significantly influences the Moon's rotation and contributes to phenomena like ocean tides.
