The half moon is when the moon is only half. New Moon is when theres none of the moon showing. Full Moon is when all of the moon is showing. The moons are caused by where the sunlight is from the position of the moon. Its like how us on Earth have day and night. The moon is between the Earth and Sun. It is in direct area of earth when new moon
 * 1) View the top diagram above. Compare the relative positions of the earth, moon and sun to explain the differences between new moon, half moon and full moon phases. Be specific.

2. View the example of the tide chart for the Gandy Bridge for a day. 2015 Tide Chart for Gandy Bridge 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. It is like that because of the Tide Coefficients. Tide coefficients and moon phases almost combine together To make tides. 3. Use the data from Gandy Bridge TidesTampa Bay Tides to create a spreadsheet in Open Office with the coefficient of the tides for the days in the month of October, 2015. Thencreate a line graph of the data. Indicate that the first row and first columns are labels. Be sure to label the X and Y axis, and to provide a title. Be sure to include units. (Note: On the Tide Tables there are tidal coefficients which tell us the amplitude of the tide forecast (difference in height between the consecutive high tides and low tides in any given area). The highest possible tidal coefficient is 118, corresponding to the greatest high or low tide there can be, excluding meteorological effects. Tidal coefficients are calculated from the following parameters or from the sun and the moon: straight ascension, declination, parallax and the distance between the Earth and the celestial body.) See below. 4. Save the Tide Height spreadsheet as 8 last name initial tide. Save it as an html document. Saving it as an html will convert the chart to a jpeg. Copy the spreadsheet data and paste it on your TideMoon page. Then Upload the jpeg of the chart to your page. See below. 5. View the Moon Phases October 2015 on the same Gandy Bridge Tides. Find the moon phases for the high coefficients and low coefficients on the graph. 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. On 10/8, the moon was low. On 10/15, it was high. On 10/22, it was low. On 10/29, it was higher than 10/15. The moon phase that causes the highest coefficient is the full moon.

At this point, its a waxing crescent Earth. The sun is facing the moon. From Earth, this is what we see. we see a waning gibbous Moon.
 * 1) View the 3 images below. Explain for each image, the relative position of the sun, moon and earth that would result in the phase of the earth as seen in each of the photos. For each picture indicate what the corresponding phase of the moon would be when viewed from earth on the same day each of the photos of the earth was taken.

This phase would be Third Quarter Earth. The sun is almost facing away from the moon. From Earth, we'll see a first quarter moon.

The moon in this picture is a Waxing Gibbous Earth. The sun is going to turn to the moon and this is what we see from Earth. we see a waning crescent
