Compare the relative positions of the earth, moon and sun to explain the differences between new moon, half moon and full moon phases. On a new moon, half of the moon is facing the sun, while the other one is facing the earth. When its a new moon you just see the dark side, and with the quarter moon you just see a slip of the moon.

Using the positions of the moon relative to a location on earth, explain why the tides alternate from low to high during a 24 hour period and why there are usually 2 high tides alternating with low tides each day. The tides are alternate, because of the gravitational pull of the sun, moon and earth's rotation.There are 2 tides, because the moons gravity is stronger than the sun at night because the moon is closer to earth than the sun. So at night the moon has a stronger pull, which makes the tides higher.

Provide an explanation for the pattern of high coefficient of tides alternating with the low coefficient of tides during the month based on the relative position of the earth, moon and sun.

The full moon makes the round trip for 28 days, and after the 28 days we see the darker side of the moon and in another 28 days we will see another full moon.
