 * 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.
 * 2) View the example of the tide chart for the Gandy Bridge for a day. 2015 Tide Chart for Gandy Bridge
 * 3) 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.
 * 4) 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.)
 * 5) 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.
 * 6) 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.

1. We can't see the new moon because since since the lit side is facing the sun and the dark side is facing the earth we can only see the lit side. No matter where the moon is placed its always half of the moon lit up but but we only see the lit side because the dark side is facing the earth. We are not seeing the half of the moon that is dark because we can't see it. We can't see the new moon because we can only see the dark. Since the dark side is only facing the earth we can't see the new moon. In the full moon the moon is half lit and half dark but we see it completely lit because the lit side of the half and half moon is facing earth. The dark side of the moon is not facing the earth which makes us not able to see it. In the half moon the moon is half lit and half dark because the lit side is only facing sun and the dark side is facing the earth which makes us only see the moon as half. . 2. The alternate tides alternate from low because in the mornings the moon goes down so the sun comes up. The high tide alternates because the moon re-appears when the sun goes down. Also when the tides are high its because of the gravitational pull of the moon. The reason of this is because the earth rotation and its gravitational pull.

5. The moon phases for high coefficients of the moon are from dates October 25th to 26th. The Coefficients are 101,110, 112, and 109. The pattern of the high and low tides. The tides are high because of the moon phases. The half moon (1st quarter and 3rd quarter) are pulling the water tides to its gravitational pull. The moon that has the lowest tide would be the New Moon and the highest moon phase would be the Full Moon.

The phase of the moon on October 1, 2015 was a Wanning Gobious The phase of the moon on October 5, 2015 was a Third Quarter (Half) The phase of the moon on October 11, 2015 was a Wanning Cresent The phase of the moon on October 21, 2015 was a First Quarter (half) The phase of the moon on October 28, 2015 was a Full Moon


 * 3 PHASES OF THE MOON:**

In the first picture I see a Crescent Moon and if we are standing on the moon we see a Gibbous Earth.

In the second picture I see a Waning Gibbous moon and if we were to stand on the moon we would see quarter half of the earth.

In the third picture I see a Waxing Gibbous moon and if we are standing on the moon we see a Gibbous Moon.
