Description:As the Moon graces our night skies, it constantly changes its appearance. Moon watchers may see anything from a full circle to a thin crescent. If you need a quick tutorial on what causes lunar phases, then Understanding the Phases of the Moon: An Astronomy 101 Tutorial clearly explains what causes the phases of the Moon. Written by a professor with a PhD in astrophysics and over 30 years experience teaching physics and astronomy, this tutorial will be useful for anyone who wants to know more about lunar phases. The tutorial is written for students from middle school through college who need help understanding the basic concepts and causes of lunar phases. It will also be useful for science teachers, other teachers, or home schoolers who need a quick refresher on the phases of the Moon. Anyone wanting to understand the phases of the Moon and their cause will find the tutorial useful.This tutorial begins with a descriptive overview of lunar phases and explains that the Moon always keeps the same face towards Earth. Using simple observations that anyone can make, the tutorial next explains why Earth's shadow cannot cause lunar phases. After showing why a common myth about lunar phases cannot be right, the tutorial explains the correct origin of lunar phases. Extending the understanding of lunar phases, the tutorial explains how an astronaut standing on the Moon would see phases of Earth. Finally the tutorial explains phases of Venus and Mercury. The clearly written explanations are conceptual and stress understanding concepts rather than memorizing words.This astronomy tutorial covers all the concepts needed to understand lunar phases and their cause, yet it is brief enough to read in half an hour.We have made it easy for you to find a PDF Ebooks without any digging.
